Microsoft PowerPoint is an awesome tool to create a presentation. Whenever you need to create a presentation for school or college project, or for office work, you can opt for Microsoft PowerPoint, which comes with beautiful themes & templates.

You may not get as many features as the desktop version provides but you can still get along without them. Let us take a look at some Microsoft PowerPoint Online tips and tricks that will help you create better presentations.
