I am trying to convert my powerpoint presentation to an MP4 file. From what I understand, to do this I need to 'export' the file.
The export function is found under the 'File' tab which should be on the top left hand part of the screen. However, I do not have the 'File' tab on my top ribbon and I am not sure how to get it there.

I don't mean to be picky but it will avoid confusion if you [and many others] would use the correct terminology... and those giving advice need to be less slipshod with the terminology they use.
A Tab is a component of the Ribbon UI. Mac Office programs have no File Tab.
The bar above the Ribbon is the Menu Bar comprising Menus, not Tabs. What you are referring to is the File Menu.
