The most noticeable area of change is at the top of the PowerPoint window. Instead of the menus and toolbars that you used to see, there's a tall band across the screen that contains many, very visual commands arranged into groups.

This band is called the Ribbon, and it's now your control center for creating a presentation. You'll get some background on its design and see its structure in detail so that you start to feel comfortable using it.
