Many new changes have shown up in PowerPoint 2019 for Windows and several other versions released in the past. However, one thing that has not changed is PowerPoint’s tri-paned interface! So why is the interface called tri-paned? Are there three distinct regions within the PowerPoint 2019 interface?
