Presentation is WPS Office's application for creating presentations. It supports .DPS, .DPT, .PPT, and .PPTX files and allows you to create a presentation from scratch or from one of Presentation's templates. You can design a slide by applying themes, choosing fonts and colors, and inserting images, video, audio, charts, tables, equations, and shapes.
