Getting Familiar with PowerPoint / Closing PowerPoint

Subtitles of the Movie

Once you are finished using PowerPoint, you can close PowerPoint at anytime. A couple of options here that I want to point out: if you are using PowerPoint, you can always use the minimize button, and what this does is it puts PowerPoint down on your taskbar. Its not actually closed but allows you to move between different applications on your computer. However, if you want to actually close PowerPoint, shut it down, there are two ways you can do that. The first is to simply click the red x that you see up in the far right corner; the other one is to click file, and click exit. Either one of these will close PowerPoint. What if you are working on a presentation and you accidentally click the red x; or even if you forget that you are working on something, and you click file exit? PowerPoint is going to give you a message saying that you have made changes to whatever presentation that you are working on. In this case, you can choose to save it, no, or you can cancel which is just going to take you back to PowerPoint. In other words, what I want to point out here is PowerPoint doesn't ever let you close PowerPoint and destroy data without first giving you a warning message that you need to either save it or discard it. This is a great protection for you because it prevents you from closing the application down and having a presentation that you've worked an hour on get lost. So you will always have the option to save your presentation and you don't have to worry about accidentally losing it, and that's all there is to closing PowerPoint.
