From the form that I completed today I learned new vocabulary words such as: presentation, thumbnails, splitter bars, title slide, title, placeholder, and RTF(rich text format). A presentation is a formal or informal report, usually given orally, sometimes called a "speech", or a "talk". Thumbnails are small-size views of all slides in the presentation, in the slides tab. Splitter-bars are horizontal or vertical bars that seperate the left, slide, and notes panes in normal view. A title slide is the first slide shown in a presentation. A title is the heading of the slide. A placeholder is the place where you can add text, objects, or a title to your slide. RTF is a file format with the extension .rtf that enables text to be transferred and read by different applications, such as Word. All these vocabulary words share a definite similarity, which is they are all used or related to powerpoints.
