The New Interface of Powerpoint 2011 This version of Powerpoint introduces a new way to navigate through your tools to edit your presentation: the Ribbon. Instead of toolbars, there is the ribbon with tools reorganized into the various tabs.

There are the basic Tabs (Home, Themes, Tables, Charts, SmartArt, Transitions, Animations, slide Show and Review) which have a default set of tools. Note that there are only two toolbars that are embedded in the frame of the application, the Standard and Formatting toolbars.
