Able to page through powerpoint presentation when in "Get Info"

Hello all
In order to open a ppt, I have been launching my windows OS.
I notice though that on my desktop icon I can see the cover page of the powerpoint presentation and if I click on "Get Info" I can even page through the entire ppt using the Preview pane.
Just curious what my mac is using to give me a preview of this powerpoint presentation?

Oh whoops. You said powerpoint. So I should have said Keynote, not Numbers. Regardless, they're both a part of the iWork suite.
Yes, you can edit powerpoint presentations from Keynote, but it has its own transitions/themes/etc., so if you're planning on handing that powerpoint file back to someone who's going to open it in Microsoft's Powerpoint, you end up being unable to retain some of the formatting/transition decisions you've made.
Obviously if you're going to use it to just make a presentation then it's awesome. I've given presentations with Keynote (recently, actually) in front of a class and had them say "What was that? It looked awesome!" Then I tell them it's Mac only and they get sad.
So, short answer, yes, long answer, it depends on what you're doing.
Fortunately, you can download a free trial of iWork for 30 days! http://www.apple.com/iwork/download-trial/

  • I need a file COUNT when I "Get Info"

    In OS9 when you selected a folder that had subfolders inside of it and then [image] files inside of the subfolders and chose "Get Info" from the menu, it would calculate how many files were inside the enclosing folder including the files inside of the subfolders. Is there a way to do this with OSX?

    I think the handiest way is to use the CalculateSize Contextual Menu item:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11354
    Control click on a folder and select it, it tells you the total size of the folder, the number of files (including invisibles), and the number of sub-folders. It is PowerPC only however.
    You can make Automator action(s) to something similar, but the ones I've built are way slower and not nearly as informative.

  • Why doesnt Bit Rate show when you Get Info

    When you downgrade the bit rate of a song in itunes for example, from 320kbps to 128kbps then click get info it will show the bit rate, but if you use your Finder locate the song file and click get info it will be missing
    why is this
    is there a way to make it show?

    You cannot show bit rate using finder. This value is not included in the get info box - only sample rate is shown. You should use iTunes to find the bit rate of the track which you can see in song view if you have added this from view > view options.
    If you want to see in finder, I suggest that you provide feedback to Apple.

  • ITunes freezing when clicking "Get Info"

    My iTunes keeps freezing when I click on "Get Info", and it takes several minutes to open. Sometimes, it won't open at all, and I have to end the task in Task Manager.
    I have Win7 and almost 200gb free. I noticed this about three weeks ago and have already upgraded to the latest version. Any ideas?

    Tried reinstalling, and I'm still having the same problem. It takes about a minute for the window to open after selecting "Get Info."

  • How do I get Firefox to print the entire web page instead of truncating when it gets to end of first print page?

    Firefox 3.6.8, Windows XP Pro
    Frequently when I try to do a print of a web page, I end up printing only whatever fits on the first printed page. Instead of continuing to later pages as needed, the rest of the displayed web page is simply ignored.

  • My iPhone sound won't work through speakers. When I get a call it goes for a second the is silent. The sound works when speakers are in circa while. Ivecreset it completely twice.,

    Please help! (:

    I Also have this problem!!
    In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason.  At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident.  Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed.  Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
    I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees).  Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!!  Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

  • I can no longer change my song names like i used to. i use to be able to right click and go to "get info" and then change the song name, artist and album, now i can't is there any other way to change the songs name and info

    When I get songs and put them on my itunes accout on my computer I used to be able to rename them right clicking, going to "get info" and then renaming everything I wanted like song name, album and artwork. I also use to be able to click on the song then click and hold on it and be able to rename it. But all the songs I have gotten after the last update have not been able to be renamed in any of the old ways I use to be able to. Is there any other way to rename songs because I know I can't undo updates and that seems to be whats causing it.
    Thankyou for your time

    Hi
    Please describe How You go from PPT to iDVD. Via iMovie ?
    If so - then convert Your .wma file to .aiff (same kHz) and use this in iMovie instead. (no .mp3 either)

  • Show a Flash animation frame when opening a Powerpoint presentation

    Hi all,
    I have a Powerpoint presentation that embeds a Flash
    animation (swf file). I use Powerpoint 2003 and a Flash 9
    animation.
    The problem is that when the presentation is opened, no image
    (in fact a frame of the Flash animation) appears on the slide that
    contains the Flash object. Instead, a blank rectangle is displayed.
    To make it appear, I must start the presentation in slide
    show mode (here the animation is playing) and then return to
    'Normal' view. The last animation image is then shown on the slide.
    From now, if I save the presentation, close it and then reopen it,
    no image is shown.
    I have tried with different Flash animation versions and
    noticed that an image is displayed for Flash animation when
    compiled in Flash 7. In a Flash 8 animation, no image appears too.
    It seems that a change since Flash version 8 avoids an image to be
    displayed when opening the Powerpoint presentation.
    Has anyone already met this ? Are there security or other
    changes that will prevent a frame to be displayed when opening the
    presentation ? Any ideas or Internet links will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Dave and thanks for the answer.
    My embedded movie is playing well when we start the slideshow
    mode for the presentation, because it uses the installed activeX
    component (version 9 installed) to render it.
    My problem is that no image (ie the last movie frame
    displayed before exiting the slide show) is displayed the next time
    the presentation opens, even if the file is saved.
    Did you mean that, because the activeX version is newer than
    the PowerPoint 2003 release date, the PowerPoint application is not
    able to get the image (frame) the next time the presentation opens
    (that is, the image to display is embedded into the activeX at a
    specific location, which has changed between Flash player version 7
    and 8) ?
    PS: 1) I have opened the Flash 8 presentation in PowerPoint
    2007 and an image is shown on the slide, which might confirm that
    PowerPoint 2003 is too old to find the frame to be displayed.
    2) I searched into the in-line/off-line documentation and I
    found no paragraph speaking of the Flash version limitation.
    Let me know if I am right.
    Thanks again for the time taken to answer me.

  • PDFing a PowerPoint presentation (slides) in Notes Page print layout - is it possible?

    Hello,
    I have a PowerPoint presentation that I would like to disseminate as slides AND as a booklet. I used the Slides Master to format the slides, and I used Notes Master to create the booklet. In PowerPoint, I can, by default, print the slides. I can also print the booklet by changing the layout to Notes Pages, and everything looks great.
    Now on to PDF.
    I can, by default, create a PDF of the presentation with Print > Print Layout > Full Page Slides (default).
    But Acrobat XI Pro ignores my attempt to create a PDF of the Notes Page View (the booklet) with Print > Print Layout >Notes Pages.
    Has anyone succeeded in getting a PDF of anything other than the standard PowerPoint slide view?
    Thank you for any tricks, tweaks, & wisdom on this!

    I found an alternative but circuitous way of achieving the desired result. In PowerPoint I opened, then I printed the PPT presentationto a PDF selecting the Notes Page option instead of Full Slide. By then using a PDF converter to convert it back to PPT I was able to insert the  PPT as is. In other words it "looks" just like the PPT Notes Page view, which is exactly what I wanted. The code snippet and notes were intact.
