Presentation Software - Meaning A presentation software is a computer software package used to show information, in the form of a slide show. It includes three major functions: • an editor that allows the text to be inserted and formatted, • a method for inserting and manipulating graphic images and • a slide-show system to display the content. Presentation software is used to create presentations, quizzes, e-learning packages and multimedia products.
Most presentation software packages will create your multimedia product using a series of slides.
