Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation - Legacy (.ppt)
PPT stands for "PowerPoint Presentation", a legacy file extension used by Microsoft PowerPoint, which is part of the Microsoft Office suite. Introduced in 1987, PPT files are primarily utilized for creating slide show presentations that include text, images, multimedia, and custom animations. Historically, the PPT format has been instrumental in business, education, and various professional settings for visually engaging presentations. It has since been succeeded by the PPTX format, which offers enhanced performance and security through XML-based structuring.
