Hi Lisbeth and welcome to the 123PPT Community and PowerPoint Forum.

Have you recently upgraded from a previous version of PowerPoint 2010?

Hello Charles, well yes as a matter of fact. I recently upgraded from PowerPoint 2003 to PowerPoint 2010 and I have no clue what has happened to PowerPoint. Is it the same program?

Office PowerPoint 2010 is the latest revision to PowerPoint, following PowerPoint 2007 which was the largest revision to PowerPoint in the Microsoft history.

Perhaps most startling Lisbeth for you coming from PowerPoint 2003, is the new interface in PowerPoint 2010.

Microsoft claim that the new interface is designed to aid user interaction with PowerPoint 2010, and more easily find and use program capabilities. Naturally as with any application that we become accustomed to,  updates, changes, and radical redesgins, do take sometime to get acquainted to. But persevere because the all new look PowerPoint 2010 as with PowerPoint 2007, is certainly worth it.

PowerPoint 2010 in comparison to PowerPoint 2007 is somewhat less remarkable but nevertheless, the overall look and feel has been streamlined, and new technologies have been introduced that enable you to "browse, pick, and click" rather than select from complicated dialog boxes. You can also produce better results faster by taking advantage of the rich feature sets presented in the application's Office Fluent user interface.

You can use the Animations tab on the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface in Office PowerPoint 2010 to add animations to a presentation or even custom animations to a specific part of a slide. The features are presented in a streamlined manner, making it easy to find exactly what you need, when you need it. And you can use the Slide Show tab on the Office Fluent user interface to set up your presentation or even create custom presentations. This tab gives you easy access to all of your PowerPoint presentation options, making it easy to get started and customize the content you want to present.

All in all Lisbeth PowerPoint 2010 really is superior to its predecessors such as PowerPoint 2003, PowerPoint XP, or PowerPoint 2000.

I suggest using the Help function when needed, but give it time and just try making some simple slides to start with until you become accustomed to using the Office PowerPoint ribbon interface and gain more experience with the new PowerPoint 2010 features and functionality.
