With its easy-to-use tools for creating professional presentations, Microsoft PowerPoint® long ago transformed the way people communicate ideas. New features make Microsoft PowerPoint version 2002 more powerful and easier to use. Smart tags, task panes, and improved technologies for working with diagrams, images, animations, and text streamline the process of creating presentations. Collaboration features make it easier than ever to get your team's input and share your final work, while improved data recovery enables you to spend your time creating, not re-creating. Like the rest of Microsoft Office XP, PowerPoint 2002 can help you work smarter.
