Can I CONVERT a PP presentation to a Keynote presentation?

My friend made PowerPoint presentation. Is it possible to CONVERT his PP presentation to a Keynote presentation so that I can edit it out, add voice over, work with to make more interesting? I realize that it said it can read PP presentations, but I would like to actually make a PP presentation into a Keynote presentation to be retained/kept as a Keynote presentation.

Lorna, to answer your questions:
Keynote's capabilities are not identical to PowerPoint's -- as I understand it, there are a few things that Keynote can't do in terms of actual presenting. That said, Keynote's graphic features far outstrip those of PowerPoint, and if your goal is to put a presentation on the Web, then Keynote is an excellent choice.
If you put a movie exported from Keynote up on YouTube, then yes, it will be playable by anyone (YouTube takes care of that). If you put a movie up for download, then things are a little more complicated, as not all Windows users may have QuickTime on their machine, so you will need to use a format that is more universal (such as MPEG-2).
PowerPoint charts and graphs should come in OK, but it is well worth the time re-creating such using Keynote's native tools, as the results will be much more satisfactory. There are some limitations in terms of the kind of graphs that Keynote can do, but the types that it can look stunning.
You can certainly have your friend limit his font choices to those you also have, but that will likely give you the standard boring Windows-compatible set (Arial, Times New Roman, Trebuchet MS). I would suggest that instead you take a look at the fonts that are used in some of the Apple-provided Keynote templates, as they may give you some inspiration as to how nice good typography can look. It is relatively easy to change the fonts in a presentation.

  • Can I convert a pdf to use in a powerpoint presentation

    can I convert a pdf to use in a powerpoint presentation

    ..and now I can reply less cryptically:
    Export to PowerPoint (PPTX) is available in Acrobat XI Pro.
    The all-new Save As > Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation feature will not only convert an existing PDF file into an editable PPTX file, it will (try to) recognize elements and reconstruct Master Slides, re-convert Speaker Notes and convert things like tables into genuine PowerPoint tables. The feature works on both Windows and Mac.

  • Is there any solution for convert document spreadsheet presentation to images with Office Web Apps?

    Hi there!
    Is there any solutions for convert document spreadsheet presentation to images with Office Web Apps?

    Hi,
    As far as I know, there is no build-in feature that convert Office file to image format in Office web app yet.
    I'll collect the information, and submit it with internal ways. Then, we could also submit the feedback here:

    It's recommended to download and install

  • How can I convert Float numbers which are represented as 'E-05' to full precision

    I have over 6,000 records which all have 'E-05' in the field.
    It should actually be full precision, such as:  0.000046793055472781
    How can I convert all of these?  There are around 600,000 records in the whole table, so I only want to convert the 'E-05' records.  For some reason these are incorrect, but all the others are totally fine.
    Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

    If they are float values, they have the full precision you can get with a float value.
    Keep in mind that what you see in management studio is a textual representation of the value. It is not the value itself. A float value is stored as 53 bits of mantissa and an 11-bit exponent which is a power of 2.
    To view the value without the exponent, you can cast to decimal, although this will give you a slightly different value. You can also use the str function:
    DECLARE @f float
    SELECT @f = 0.000046793055472781
    SELECT str(@f, 20, 18)
    However, formatting of the value is best done in the presentation layer. You should not change the data you have in the table. But if the source is actually exact decimal values, maybe you should use a decimal data type instead.

  • How can I convert an InputStream to a FileInputStream ???

    How can I convert an InputStream to a FileInputStream ???

    Thanks for you reply, however, I am still stuck.
    I am trying to convert my application (which runs smoothly) to a signed applet. The following is the original (application) code:
    private void loadConfig() {
    String fileName = "resources/groupconfig";
    File name = new File(fileName);
    if(name.isFile()) {
    try {
         ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileName));
         pAndGConfig = (PAGroupsConfig)in.readObject();
         in.close();
         return;
    } catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
         System.err.println("++ERROR: "+e);
    } catch(IOException e) {
         System.err.println("++ERROR: "+e);
    System.out.println("Can't find file: " + fileName);
    Because all code and resources now reside in a Jar file (for the signed applet), I must use the following line to access the resources:
    InputStream is = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream(fileName);
    I then need to convert the 'InputStream' to 'ObjectInputStream' or 'FileInputStream' so that I can work with it.
    I would be very grateful if you could help shed some light on the matter - Cobram
