Benefits Of A Tabbed PowerPoint Interface

A tabbed interface for PowerPoint can be beneficial because you can open multiple documents in different tabs for easy management and simultaneous editing. Using Tabs for PowerPoint , users can not only open existing documents in different tabs but also create a new document in a new tab. Hence, this app can also help you open multiple presentations in a unified interface like a web browser; which is a lot better than opening different documents side by side or in a Windows Jump List.
