  • Can you open a powerpoint presentation in pages?

    I have a powerpoint presentation sent to me from a client that needs to be editable in pages. There are no animations and the size is 8.5 x 11. Can this be opened in pages in a editable format?

    Kelley,
    No, you can't open PPT files in Pages. If you plan to do this often, purchase Keynote. The other option is to use OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

  • I cannot open a Powerpoint presentation in Captivate 8.  Any ideas as to why?

    I cannot open a Powerpoint presentation in Captivate 8.  I'm following the directions to double-click on the "From Powerpoint" icon to start a project.  I can double-click on a PP project, but then I get a message "Unable to import.  File may be damaged."  I know my files are fine.  Any ideas as to why I cannot open?

    I realize this was a few months back. But I had this problem and exchanged numerous emails with support, with NO resolution.
    I was running Windows 8.1 and Captivate 8 (64 bit).
    Finally (and I should've tried this much earlier on) I decided to uninstall 64-bit Captivate and try 32-bit.
    Voila. Problem solved. 32-bit imports .pptx files perfectly.
    Hope this might be helpful for anyone else encountering this.

    Firefox doesn't have any built-in ability to display PowerPoint files in a tab. You can check how Firefox is set to handle PowerPoint files in the Options dialog:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
    ''This list may take a while to load.'' In the search box above the list, you can type pow and let Firefox filter it down. Usually these would say "Always Ask" but you might have customized them to "Use Microsoft Powerpoint".
    There are some sites that have a Flash-based PowerPoint viewer, such as OneDrive/SkyDrive and SlideShare. Maybe Gmail has one now, too, I haven't checked. But all such sites also should have a separate download button, either before showing their viewer or as part of the viewer. If there are particular sites where you notice this problem, maybe someone know how to bypass the viewer on that site and go straight to a download.

  • Can you open a keynote presentation in PowerPoint and vice versa?

    I've opened a powerpoint presentation in Keynote but had trouble opening a Keynote in Powerpoint.  I wasn't sure if it was just that particular keynote or is does it just not work.  I know some formatting sometimes get lost.  What's the quality like when doing both?

    But you can open a powerpoint in Keynote.
    Correct?
    Yes correct
    I'm not sure what you mean by "you must export to powerpoint in keynote to convert files".  How do you do that?
    In Keynote;    File > Export > PowerPoint

  • Why can't I open my Powerpoint presentations with Keynote in my new Ipad 4 although?

    Im using Icloud to share the powerpoint file from my windows to my Ipad. But, I still can open my powerpoint presentations neither in my Iphone.. Can someone help me, please. Thank you.

    I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
    Yes, the Panasonic FZ45 is listed but it was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 6.2.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Then go to this table to see which versions of Photoshop are compatible with ACR 6.2: CS5 and later. Not CS3.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    So your options are to upgrade to CS6 or subscribe to CC (check out the Photoshop Photography Program: PS CC + Lightroom 5).
    Or download the free DNG converter, convert all your FZ75 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS3

  • I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

    I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

    If there are fonts, transitions, builds, video or audio in the PowerPoint file that are not compatible with Keynote, it will either prevent the presentation opening or Keynote will substitute the settings causing playback changes.
    I use Open Office to play and open any PowerPoint files sent to me, they play exactly as in PowerPoint.
    Open Office is free, you can download it here:

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration.

  • Issue opening microsoft powerpoint presentation

    I am having issues opening a powerpoint presentation through microsoft word. The error message I am receiving is "There was an error accessing MacintoshHDusers..." Any suggestions? I am receiving the file from another mac user who I believe is using keynote.

    I only know that the slide shows has .pps as an extension which is > PowerPoint and that all of these I receive as attachments the sound will not play when I open them in Keynote. Keynote opens it as a PowerPoint presentation but I have the option to change it to Keynote. The sound will not play in either option. The audeo could be in any number of Microsoft audio formats.

    Same problem here... I finally updated whole system yesterday (last full system upgrade was on 2011-11-26) and same problem appears. File /usr/lib/libwbclient.so.0 was not present in system, so i reinstalled package smbclient - without any effect, then reinstalled libwbclient package and requested file appears. There is no error about upgrading libwbclient in pacman.log (from yesterday system update).. How is this possible?

  • Snow leopard  to lion so I could use cloud. Now I can't open any word doc. that I receive in emails. Is there any way to remedy this?

    You don't tell us what version of Office for Mac you presently have, but I'm guessing it might be Office for Mac 2004. If so, in addition to the suggestion to download OpenOffice you can purchase the most recent version of Office for Mac 2011 directly from MS <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/buy>. You can also purchase Pages productivity suite from the Mac App Store <http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id409201541?mt=12>.

  • 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.

  • When I open a powerpoint presentation in Keynote I only see the first 8 slides

    When I open a powerpoint presentation in Keynote I only see the first 8 slides.  Any ideas?

    Curious.
    If I had this problem I would try the followinng:
    open the PPt file in PowerPoint (or Open Office for Mac, which is a free and  reliable option to MS Office) save it  as a PPt file and open in Keynote
    open in PPt or Open Office,  save all the slides as individual TIFF files and bring those into Keynote ( builds would not work on individual text or objects on a slide but at least you have the content)
    Open Office

  • Opening a PowerPoint Presentation

    When I open a PowerPoint presentation the slide show plays but there is no Audio. The show tells me to turn on my speakers, which are always on. The inspector window lets me select from my iTunes Library, the only choice.
