Font conversions to Powerpoint 08 from Keynote 09

I have a font called CAC Leslie that I am trying to bring in to a powerpoint presentation from keynote. When I export it out the font shows up on the powerpoint font list but the actual characters show as some type of sans serif font like arial or verdana. Is there any sort of plugin that can remedy this so the font shows as it should?

Is the PowerPoint presentation on the same machine, or a different one? Both PowerPoint and Keynote use the fonts that are on the presenting machine -- if the required font is not available, it is substituted. There is no plugin for either application that addresses this, as you simply need to have the required font installed.
As a workaround, you could make the text into a graphic in Keynote.

Conversions from PowerPoint to Keynote... again

Sorry if this is an FAQ, but there is no FAQ file available yet, and I can't find an answer by wading through thousands of posts.
I have a lot of PPT files which are provided by the textbook publisher for a course I am teaching, and I would like to use this material. However, I use Keynote exclusively for my own lectures, and want to convert the PPT files so I can customize them. I am running Keynote 2.0.2 and PowerPoint 11.2.4 on OS X 10.4.7.
When I open these files in Keynote, most of the bulleted text and some of the simple graphics come across OK, but unfortunately, a lot of the more complicated graphics don't. When the original slide has a lot of lines, rectangles, etc., the conversion seems to change all of the graphics into a single uneditable bitmap of some sort. I have experimented with cutting and pasting indivisual graphical objects from PowerPoint to Keynote, and even on simple things like a line segment at a 45 degree angle, the object gets converted to a picture, and worse yet, the line width is changed from the original 2 points to 6 points!
None of these files are complicated or "challenging". There are no transitions, animations, videos, audio, or any of the things that seem to plague a lot of users. I am just talking about text and simple line drawings (schematics, etc.) I suspect that there are tricks or procedures that I am not doing right, but don't know where to look for help other than this forum. Can anyone give me an assist?
Thanks

Most of this stuff appears to be just simple line art primitives. What begins as a line in the ppt file ends up being a .pict file dropped in to the Keynote file. It isn't consistent either; a lot of objects come across OK (rectangles, horizontal and vertical lines, for instance). Angled lines and more complicated shapes seem to be converted to .pict drop-ins.
I am continuing to explore this; I'll post any significant discoveries.
Thanks

I'm changing from powerpoint to Keynote. In powerpoint you can change slides by typing in the slide number and hitting enter. I want to do the same in keynote without the slide switcher popping up at the top. Possible?

Wow, I may be losing my mind, you're right. I guess I was doing what you said out of old habits and not even realizing it. Much appreciated.

Keynote conversion to Powerpoint

How do I convert a Keynote presentation to Powerpoint including the music files used from ITunes?

Have you checked Microsoft's website to ensure that you're supplying the right file format?
Also, if there is a requirement that Windows users of PowerPoint open files with no problems, then you're doing yourself a disservice by not buying PowerPoint. Keynote is an excellent tool and when giving a presentation it still beats PowerPoint handily. However, Keynote isn't and will likely never be a replacement for PowerPoint.
There are other free tools that DO aspire to be carbon copy clones of PowerPoint, though, you may want to check those out.

Moving Animated Images from Powerpoint to keynote

Hi
I'm just getting into using Keynote as i have just starting lecturing
All the lecture files i have been given are Powerpoint Presentations
I have converted all of them to Keynote but i am having a bit of a problem with one
It has an image which when you play back the slideshow in powerpoint it is animated
The image is not a photo image I think it is a Flash image but i'm not sure as i cannot track down the maker of the PP file & i cannot find any info about it as the only place i can see it is in the PP presentation & that doesn't give too much away either
I'm probably not giving you enough info about it but its as much as i can come up with myself
The question is as you have probably worked out is how can i take the image from the PP presentation & put it into the Keynote Presentation with the animation working in Keynote
Thanks for your time

Great Question! The answer is not as great. From my previous work the only way I have gotten good results is to open powerpoint and keynote then copy/paste each slide over and build the transitions I want into the presentation. This has been the only way to get the results I wanted.
Hope this helps.

Export ok from Keynote 08 but file wint open i PowerPoint 08?

Hi,
I am having problems after exporting a presentation from Keynote 08 (4.0.3)to a PowerPointfile (Office 08 fully patched). The file exports ok but wont open in PowerPoint?
Its about 50 slides and a mix of pictures and text. Is it possible to run any kind of transformation from older Keynote presentations to newer versions of Keynote.

Gee, an effectively superior Apple product ceases to work on a new version of M$ Offal. Surprise! I suppose the best solution is to just drop back and do all of your presentations in piece-of-cake-PowerPoint 2008. And you might just as well get rid of Pages & Numbers, too since there'll be problems of transfer with those, also. Maybe they'll apply one of the millions of exquisite "patches" that they're so good at. It's all Apple's fault for doing things too well.
Actually, your question was whether one could transfer from older Keynote (version?) to newer (version?) Keynote. Did you mean Keynote to Keynote, or, as an earlier reply mentioned, Keynote to earlier PP? Could you clarify?
Can't you just use your Mac and be done with it? If not, I'd personally just use Office 2001 while gritting my teeth and resist the big MS gorilla.

Transfer from keynote to ppt

I received a keynote presentation and would like to tranfer it to powerpoint. Draging from Knote to ppt does not work

OK, ..."export to ppt" from Keynote on my own Mac, ...load that onto a PC, ...fix it on the PC using its version of ppt, ...and standard fonts, ...convert MOV movies to WMV so ppt can use the movies, ...insert the wmv's into ppt on the PC, ...
Assume the City laptop has an older version of ppt so the movies (in wmv) are put into the same folder on the thumb drive, so the City's laptop will link the movies to the ppt presentation? Will the City's PC be able to link the two?
I'm a Mac guy, an architect. I've never looked at Bootcamp, nor at VMWware Fusion. I suppose you're recommending that I get those?
There are some free conversion sites online. I just converted an mov to a wmv using: http://www16.online-convert.com/init-video-conversion , ...unfortunately only the audio came through, in a much smaller file.
ZAMZAR is another conversion site. I tried them yesterday and I think the movie conversion worked, though the ppt work I tried, ...didn't. Must try again, using somebody's PC and ppt, as you say.
This is such an unnecessary trial, ...not to mention waste of time. Twenty hours or more, wasted due to an obsolete City policy. Such dummies down there.
I've used the Office for Mac Suite a bit, mostly Word to open documents sent by others, and was hoping 2011 would "export" to a useful file.

Font conversion of symbols

Before purchasing I would like to know how the font conversion works and if there are further settings once purchased. In my free trial I converted a simple music chord chart (lyrics and chords only, not notation) and though it did a fair job of conversion, the flat signs were missing. I do have notation fonts installed on my PC and need to know if this can be set to recognize upon conversion or not. This would be my primary reason for even purchasing the converter being a worship leader and needing the flexibility to alter charts, etc.
Here is a sample of what it converted, though missing the flat sign after the 'E's: etc. (the cut/paste misaligned some placement, otherwise that wasn't too bad after conversion)

Could you try disabling the 'Recognize Text' function and converting your document again? I've seen mixed results in the past with converting guitar tab pages. This has helped in some cases.

Open powerpoint in keynote

Hello!
After I got ios 7 on my Ipad, I couldn´t open powerpoint in keynote? Just me or do also have this problem?
When I click on the powerpoint file on the internet, I didn´t got a question about to open in keynote? Why?
Please help me!!

A small edit before the presentation usually leads to jawdropping "how-did-you-do-this" effects.
Even if Keynote won't do anything powerpoint does, it does the most of them much better. An average PP should be no Problem converting and presenting.
But i just can repeat what you said: A small timewindow for tweaking is important. But: Even a perfect set up PP can do murky things with another PC if there are missing fonts or other things to consider...

How do I convert DOWN from Keynote '09 to '08?

I'm trying to take a Keynote presentation and convert it from Keynote 09 down to 08. Please tell me there's an easy solution!

you cant convert a newer version of a Keynote file to an older version. The file types are completely different and not backwards compatible.
Thishappens with many applications when they are upgraded like Final Cut Pro, DVDS Pro, Aperture, et al
If you need an 08 file you will need Keynote 08 to create it.
You can export a Powerpoint file from Kenote 09 and then import that into Keynote 08 but you must keep it simple so it can export across.
(file > export > Powerpoint)

What does "Out of memory" mean from Keynote?

I have had my macbook for about 5 months, and I am still learning to use the Iwork programs. Today, i tried to open a powerpoint file and I repeatedly receved a "out of memory" notification from Keynotes. What does that mean? And is there a way for me to open this document?
Thanks for any help, in advance!

You should not keep a String array of all the lines of the file read.
Instead for each line read, parse it, then write the parsed line in the other file:      public void loadFixedWidthFile() {
         BufferedReader in = null;
         BufferedWriter out = null;
         try {
            //File must be in same director and be the name of the string below
            in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("files/FLAT.txt"));
            out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("files/outfilename.txt"));
            String str;
            while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
               //System.out.println(str.length());
               str = parseThatLine(str);
               //write out the parsed str to another file
               out.write(str);
         catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace(); // At least print the exception - never swallow an exception
         finally { // Use a finally block to be sure of closing the files even when exception occurs
            try { in.close(); }
            catch (Exception e) {}
            try { out.close(); }
            catch (Exception e) {}
      }//end loadFixedWidthFile()Regards

Animated GIFs don't loop in exported movies from Keynote 3

I am just getting started with Keynote 3.0 and really like what I have seen. I created a series of slides and pasted animated GIFs in various places. They are set to loop on each slide as Keynote presents the slides. The slide show has preset transition and build timings and there is music playing continuously, throughout the show. It works quite well. (However, there is very intermittent choppy audio and video playback when there are builds or transitions occurring. Any thoughts on optimizing this?)
The problems begin when I ask Keynote to export the slideshow to a movie. The main problem that I am struggling with is that the animated GIFs don't loop in the rendered movie, regardless of which compressor I choose. I don't see anything in the documentation. I have also searched several of the discussions on making movies from Keynote 3 but have not specifically seen animated GIFs discussed. What am I missing here?
Also, I want to be able to play this movie on a DVD player at an upcoming function. Any recommendations for an approach that will be best? I have QT 7 Pro and the iLife '06 suite.
Thanks, in advance, for any forthcoming suggestions.

My guess is, it's too much of a pain to have to calculate how many times it will actually loop and create the loops and then composite everything. Running it in Keynote just tells the thing to keep playing over and over till you do something that stops it. There's a BIG difference there as one is just being told to play, the other is having to be placed in a movie with an exact number of frames, so there are a bunch of calculations involved.

How can I remove some themes from Keynote??

How can I remove some themes from Keynote??

What a co-incidence... I just deleted those same goodies. They were in /Library/Application Support/Keynote-folder on my machine. I just deleted the whole folder, cause there seemed to be nothing more but those downloaded files. And Keynote worked great afterwards. There seemed to be another folder for iWork09, which is not to be removed.
