How do I read MS Powerpoint presentations

I frequently receive course CD's created on PC's. They contain MS PPT presentations which do not work on the Mac. I simply throw them away, except I have one now that I really need. I have to be able to open and view the slide show.
Anyone in the same situation? What tools are available, other than buying MS Office?
Thank you.

And in Quick Look...
If there are any animations in the Powerpoint presentation, these are not viewable in Preview or Quick Look. You only see each slide. Better than nothing...

    How do I convert a powerpoint presentation saved as pdf to an editable word document minus all the frames around the slides?

    Hi Sara!
    Yes this sounds interesting. Can I update to that from the PDF Export I have just renewed? How much would that cost?
    Thanks for your quick answer.

  • What software is needed and how do I transfer a powerpoint presentation from my Macbook to my i pad?

    what software is needed and how do I transfer a powerpoint presentation from my Macbook to my i pad?

    You need an app that supports Powerpoint documents on your iPad e.g. Documents To Go (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/documents-to-go-office-suite/id317117961?mt=8 or the premium version http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/documents-to-go-premium-office/id317107309?mt=8). How to copy to that app is explained here http://support.dataviz.com/support.srch?docid=14497&pid=198 . I havn't got the app myself but I have seen other people recommend it.

  • How do I convert a powerpoint presentation to Keynote?

    I am new to Mac and have a lot of Powerpoint presentations. I would like to try to convert some to Keynote. Can anyone give me hints on how to do this without spending a huge amount of time. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the discussions, Vickt*.
    Keynote can open most older PowerPoint files with a few issues that remain (like fonts and some features that only PowerPoint has). The best thing to do is just open a few to see what your problems are going to be. After going through those few, you'll have a better idea of what issues you're going to see down the line.
    There's no Batch way to do this, though, you have to open each one in Keynote then Save it to create a .key file.

  • How do I disconnect a Powerpoint presentation from a Captivate .cp?

    I am a new user to captivate. I am using Captivate 4. I imported a powerpoint presentation into my captivate slides. I am not sure what I did, but the presentation is connected across my captivate presentations. For example: While practicing I created four presentations. If I edit a .ppt slide in one captivate, the slide edits in the other three. How do I disconnect the powerpoint slides from the captivates?
    Also, I have tried to import a new .ppt into a captivate and captivate will only open the old .ppt, even though I am pointing to the new one. Why is that?
    Thank you,
    Condopoe

    You may need to change the linkage to the PowerPoint file so that it becomes embedded instead of linked.
    Here are the instructions from the Help:
    Change link type after importing the presentation
    Open the Adobe Captivate project in Edit mode and navigate to a slide that was imported from the PowerPoint presentation.
    Click Edit PPT and select Find Presentation In Library. When you select this option, the PowerPoint presentation containing the slide is highlighted in the library.
    In the Library panel, right-click the presentation in the Presentation folder.
    Do one of the following:
    Select Change To Linked if you have not linked to (embedded) the presentation during import. Specify a location for the linked file on your computer.
    Select Change To Embedded to embed the linked file into your project.
    Here is the screenshot:

  • How can I highlight a powerpoint presentation during the presentation?

    Does anyone know an apps that allow us to highlight parts/make notes  of a powerpoint presentation during the presentation using an ipad?

    Noterize for iPad allows you to annotate your slides. You can also typically convert your slideds to a PDF and do it that way (but lose the animations).

  • How can i stream my powerpoint presentation with audio video content to the display devices

    i wanted to stream my Power point presentation with audio/video content inserted in between the slides how can i achieve this requirements
    is there any harware or software available for this
    Please let me know
    Thanks

    This is not a straightforward procedure. I normally take the exported PPt file onto a windows machine and import the video files into PPt before sending to a client
    Once the folder is copied to windows, the video files have to be imported  again manually to relink the files as they loose the link in the export
    Check that the video files are copied into the same folder as the Powerpoint file
    The only file types playable from Powerpoint in widows are:   mpeg   wmv   avi
    Use wmv for  best quality and compatibility

  • How do I import a PowerPoint presentation that has embedded audio and animation?

    I have a presentation that was created in PowerPoint and each POwerPoint slide has a embedded m4a audio file.  Is there a way to import the audio with the slides or playback the PPT with the audio and do it as a screen capture where the audio is recorded straight across with out having to go out through the speakers and in through the microphone?

    Hi there
    You should be able to play the PPT and record it from Captivate as a Video Demo. When you record, you should also see an option for recording System Audio.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How do I insert a powerpoint presentation onto an iweb page?

    I tried dragging the file to an iweb movie page, but that does not seem to work. I appreciate any help.
    thanks
    Joe

    Joe ~ If you post your PPT file to free Posterous, it will automatically be presented in a convenient viewer, e.g.
    http://dont-panic.posterous.com/posterous-automatically-displays-ppts-like-th
    And if you don't want to hyperlink to your Posterous blog entry, you could try embedding it into your iWeb site:

  • How can I import an i-tune into a powerpoint presentation?

    I am preparing a slide show for my wife's birthday on powerpoint 3.0, and I am a beginner. I want to play a song and show 93 slides. When I try to import the song by a file name, I can get into itunes, and I can select the artist and get to the album folder, but I can rarely get the song title itself to appear, and even when it does, I get a message saying that I have not designated the proper path, and tells me to check the path.
    Does anyone out there know how to break through past the artist and album name and load an itune into a powerpoint presentation through the "insert" and "movies and sounds" command features?
    I can play the music through the CD player and do the slide show, but I want to put the music into the presentation so that I can put the whole thing into a CD.
    Can anyone help? Thanks

    You probably need to link directly to the music not going through iTunes. If the music is from iTunes store you will need to convert to mp3 first then link to the mp3 version.
