The right way to exit PowerPoint

Had enough excitement for one day? Use any of these techniques to shut down PowerPoint:

✓ Click the File tab to switch to Backstage View and then choose Exit from the menu.

✓ Click the X box at the top-right corner of the PowerPoint window.

✓ Press Alt+F4.

Bam! PowerPoint is history.

You should know a couple things about exiting PowerPoint (or any application):

 ✓ PowerPoint doesn’t let you abandon ship without first considering whether you want to save your work. If you’ve made changes to any
presentation files and haven’t saved them, PowerPoint offers to save the files for you. Lean over and plant a fat kiss right in the middle of your
monitor — PowerPoint just saved you your job.

 ✓ Never, never, never, ever, never turn off your computer while PowerPoint or any other program is running. Bad! Always exit PowerPoint and all other programs that are running before you turn off your computer.
