The subscription level that you choose determines the added extras Microsoft includes with your service. Office is a subscription-based service (although it did not used to be), so you pay either monthly or a year in advance for your subscription. It contains Word for typing documents, Outlook for email, Excel for spreadsheets, and Access for building small databases. This suite has several software tools that provide everything you need to run an office. PowerPoint is a part of Microsoft Office suite of applications. It's made for people that need to show content to hundreds of people at a conference and need a slideshow instead of a basic Word document with text and images.

You could use applications such as Word to store these images, but Microsoft PowerPoint is built specifically for slideshows and presentations displayed on a projector. In many sales and business meetings, employees need a way to present slideshows with images and short captions.
