Term explanation
A .ppt file is a presentation created with Microsoft PowerPoint, containing slides with text, images, animations, and transition effects. The .ppt format is the legacy binary version of PowerPoint's native format, predating the XML-based .pptx format introduced with Office 2007. While .pptx has since become the standard, .ppt files remain widely supported for backwards compatibility across modern presentation software.
LIZ AI works natively with PowerPoint .ppt and .pptx files. It reads your existing decks, updates data-driven content automatically, and writes back brand-compliant slides — without any manual rework.

It eliminates repetitive manual tasks such as copy-pasting figures into slides, reformatting decks for different audiences, or applying brand updates across hundreds of files. Common use cases include automated management reports, investor updates, and sales decks that always reflect the latest numbers.

Learners access materials, complete exercises, and submit work according to their own schedule within a defined timeframe. Common formats include recorded video lectures, discussion boards, and self-paced e-courses. Asynchronous learning offers flexibility for geographically dispersed or busy learners and forms the backbone of most online learning programs.
Learn moreDisplay duration in PowerPoint refers to the length of time a slide remains visible before automatically advancing to the next one. Setting a display duration enables auto-play presentations that run without manual input — useful for kiosks, event loops, or self-running demos. Duration settings are configured per slide in the Transitions panel and can be combined with timing controls on individual animations to choreograph a fully automated presentation sequence.
