From preparing business presentations to designing leaflets and pamphlets, Microsoft PowerPoint can help you tackle a number of your company’s day-to-day tasks. If your business has an Apple computer, take advantage of the Mac version of PowerPoint. The application can be purchased as a part of the Office suite of productivity products that includes titles such as Word, Excel and Outlook. Once it has been installed on your computer, the Mac version of PowerPoint functions similarly to the version designed for Windows. Click the “Home” tab and click “Picture” under the Insert heading to begin inserting an image into your PowerPoint presentation. Click “Clip Art Browser” on the Picture drop-down menu to launch the Clip Art media browser window.
Browse through the available images and double-click an image to insert it into your current slide. To insert a picture or photo rather than a clip art image, click the “Home” tab and click “Picture” under the Insert heading.
Click “Picture from File” on the Picture drop-down menu. Browse to the location on your computer where your picture is stored and double-click it to insert it into your current PowerPoint slide.

Do you need to do a presentation, or do you need to do a PowerPoint presentation? PowerPoint is presentation software by Microsoft, part of Microsoft Office. If you want to use it, you need to buy it from Microsoft. Apple has its own presentation software, called Keynote, and it's quite well regarded.
However, it is not bundled with Mac OS X, and you have to buy it from Apple, either by itself, or as part of a suite called iWork, which is a sort of counterpart to Microsoft Office. If you need compatibility with PowerPoint, but can't afford to buy it, you can try OpenOffice or LibreOffice. Both are free; they are based on the same software and they are designed for a high degree of compatibility with MS Office. There is also NeoOffice, based on the same software as the other two; it is supposed to be more Mac-like than the others, but, although theoretically free, it requires a (relatively) small fee to download, which means it's not really free. None of the three is as well polished or well supported as MS Office or iWork, but they do work quite well. Jgmegiel wrote: I a new mac used and have to do a powerpoint presentation, how?
