Is keynote compatible with powerpoint

i teach and have all my lectures done in MS Powerpoint 2004 for Mac.
is Keynote going to be compatible with or is it better to continue with the MS Office 2011.

Keynote can import and export Powerpoint files.
There are a number of issues that you should be aware of if you want to transtere between the two applications; fonts, animations (builds), transitions and themes not available to keynote wont import or export.
If you want to operate a fail safe presentation, continue to use use PowerPoint and use Keynote for stand alone presentations.

Flash is not compatible with powerpoint despite claims it is.

Hi.
It is claimed that swf plays in powerpoint, it doesn't ! The workarounds to this problem are taking many hours with no solution yet.
We have three swf files, car animations, place them into Powerpoint using the Shockwave Flash Object method, address to file into the properties window, then play the slide show. First slide plays ok, next slide is showing the end of the animation, as is the next.
I gather from others that swf and powerpoint is not a happy marriage.
Another experienced body said we found that out, we gave up, we now screen capture the swf movie and convert to avi and play that. So we try that now, but the trouble is the Camtasia prog we have tried makes an avi that does not play on other users PC's unless they have a Techsmith codec installed. We need something that involves no further effort for the client. We convert to wmv but the quality is not so good and vehicles are jerky.
What should we be doing to get three swf files to play correctly in powerpoint ?
We created a reset movie button and play button and the user must remember to click reset before progressig to the next slide, if they forget then the presentation gets embarrasing ! Pupils get to see the answer before the question as it were !
The coding for the buttons also messed up the animation, it ran the last frame of the movie clips.
I understand its Microsoft not wanting to play ball with Adobe. Also Apple mov files dont play. Windows video files do.
I reckon Adobe and M'soft should get round a table over this. The headaches and time spent trying to resolve this is not on !

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgradeto iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

Which Keynote fonts & transitions are compatible with Powerpoint?

Hi,
I've used some jazzy transitions in my Keynote and will export to Powerpoint and play it from a PC. Now I'm told that there might be compatibility issues with the transitions. Can anyone tell me what are the safe transitions I can use in Keynote that Powerpoint will play without hiccups? Similarly, I've used some fonts like Catull and Headline. Will these be a problem in Powerpoint or does it just read off the pixels, not the font?
Thanks.

You will have font problems unless you can install your fonts on the pc. There aren't many compatible transitions, even dissolve may turn into the ugly blocky transition if you have Powerpoint 2003. Pushing a slide to the side may translate. It's just not a good idea to create a fancy presentation in Keynote when you know you are going to have to convert it to PC Powerpoint. You will always create more work for yourself. You can do initial layout in Keynote but any animating, special fonts, etc. you should do in the platform you will use in the end.

Is keynote completely compatible with PowerPoint?

Hello,
I was wondering if the design and effects from keynote would work good with microsoft office 2007? I want to know because I want to make a presentation on the keynote app, but I need it to be able to play on PowerPoint but still work well.

Hi there,
Keynote for iPad can export the presentations you compose on the device into PowerPoint friendly format. You can then access these files through itunes file sharing, or you can e-mail them in .ppt
You may notice that some transitions will be removed, so I recommend sticking to something like a fade, and some fonts may be changed, although they will be changed to similar looking ones!
Hope this helps!

Acrobat 7 Std compatible with PowerPoint 2007

I have Acrobat 7 Standard Edition; have used it for years with Office 2003. Recently I updated my PowerPoint 2003 to 2007, and now when I go to convert my 07 PowerPoint to a PDF I get the following message "Missing PDF Maker files" "Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" I run it in repair mode and it just does the same thing over again. However when I convert any of the other Office 2003 doc to a PDF it's fine, so I am thinking it's a compatibility issue with version Acrobat 7 and PowerPoint 2007, can anyone confirm?

You will have to print to the Aodbe PDF printer. That is your only option, unless you either want to backup to an earlier version of OFFICE or upgrade Acrobat. The first version to work with OFFICE 2007 was AA8.1.2 (maybe 1). Bill

Reader X not compatible with PowerPoint?

I frequently create Microsoft PowerPoint presentations with linked PDF documents. This has never been a problem until the update to Reader X - now, when attempting to open a linked PDF from Show mode in either PowerPoint 2003 or 2007, the PowerPoint application crashes. I uninstalled Reader X and reinstalled Reader 9 and the files open with no problem. Has anyone else experienced this issue and resolved it using Reader X?

Dear drewpo,
you can find earlier versions of Adobe reader at their ftp site (even back to version 6.x):
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/
Up till now I have not received any notification of Adobe or someone else that this would be fixed. However, I see now on their ftp site that an update is available of adobe X, version 10.0.1 dd 8 feb 2011. However, not all languages are available (yet). Possibly the problem might be solved with this update, but I did not test that yet.
Good luck.

How far is the compatibility with PowerPoint and Keynote '09?

Hello everyone
I love making presentations and strangely while I'm an Apple fan the only thing I still didn't convert to is iWork
Keynote is the best presentation tool I ever saw. The problem is with playing the presentations in college or anywhere else.
I know that keynote is compatible with PowerPoint, but how far?
Will the beautiful transitions and animations on keynote work on PowerPoint? Alongside with the beautiful graphics, charts and backgrounds?
Thanks

I would say the compatibility is "just good enough". If you NEED to use it you will, but you don't want to ever NEED it.
You shoud think of the compatibility as being like trying to playback high resolution, color, widescreen, Dolby stereo content on a small black and white mono tv. There are some things that old telly just won't be capable of. Sure, you can see the motion and hear something, but you're ultimately limited by what you use to PLAYBACK the content, not what you used to CREATE it.
Because Keynote has features that PowerPoint doesn't, PowerPoint will never be able to playback exactly what you see in Keynote. The reverse is true as well.

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:

Does iWork come with a form of powerpoint presentation compatible with Microsoft Office Powerpoint?

I recently bought a MacBook Pro and need to purchase iWork or Microsoft Office. Does iWork come with a form of powerpoint presentation? If so, is it easy to use and compatible with Microsoft Office presentation software? The latter question is extremely important as we use Microsoft Office primarily at the college.

Yes, Keynote is iWork's PowerPoint equivalent. You can save as a PowerPoint file as well. Very easy to use IMO.

Keynote 09 to Powerpoint with media files

Can anyone direct me to a tutorial etc. that walks me through the export command Keynote to Powerpoint, "BUT" allows the media files (usually .mov) to transfer as well?
I have tried the "making a folder with the media files (.mov, .avi, .mp4) and the converted Powerpoint (.pptx or .ppt) but nothing seems to work.
Thanks,
Doc

Yeah, my son (grade 6) attempted to export his keynote '09 to powerpoint and that was a disaster, most of the photographs resumed their size and positioning prior adjustments made earlier in keynote. then tried to export as dvd and I kept getting messages about something to do about a fault with earlier in the chain. i cannot remember. so then tried to save it to dvd with manual adjusting i kept getting that message. then clicked onto timed adjusting and it worked. so i think its got something to so with the manual adjustment.

Is Keynote iso compatible with keynote for Mac?

Is Keynote iso compatible with keynote for Mac? Can I run a presentation on my ipad that was created on my Mac? And can I make changes on my ipad to a presentation that was first created on my Mac?

Keynote files created on one platform can be played and edited on the other, but there are many incompatibilities.

Keynote Saves .key files to default open with Powerpoint

I've been finding that whenever I create a new keynote file and save it somewhere, if I double click on the file it will automatically attempt to open it with powerpoint. After powerpoint opens it will obviously say it does not recognize the file. I can correctly open the file with keynote by right-clicking and manually opening with keynote.
If I open 'get info' on the file I will see that it is selected to open with powerpoint. I can open the drop down menu to change the opening option and see that powerpoint is selected but keynote is listed right below with '(default)' beside it. If I select keynote (default) and close the drop down menu it will stay as keynote and the file will correctly open with keynote all subsequent times.
However, if I click the 'change all' button below to set all files of this type to the selected option (keynote - default) then my selection automatically changes back to powerpoint in the drop down menu. It is really weird and confusing.
Any help?

I've posted this many times & others have posted their methods more than once as well.
This is what works for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update.

Keynote swfs not compatible with Flash cs3 As3

I have flash timeline controls now written in AS3 but when I export swf from keynote I get a conflict- looks like keynote swf exports in as2 only. Is there anyway to change the keynote preference? Anyone know of other converters to produce swfs compatible with AS3?

Have you tried visualhub. It is a very versatile format transformer.

Pages and key note not compatible with word and powerpoint

Dear members
I have received valuable help here, but still pages does not open word documents, I am having problems because I am the only person in my organisation who uses Mac! All the documents are in word format. Yvan kindly helped me and told me to use some tests. I wonder what kind of tests are, I spoke with Apple care, they spent 40 min on the phone doing the following after explaining:
I have a new Mac pro laptop which came as a replacement because the first one had a problem with bluetooh.
The previous Mac pro could open word and powerpoint using pages and key note
When I received the new mac pro I passed the information to the previous one to this one using time machine
I noticed immediately that the new mac pro could not open word using pages
After this I have received snow leopard , installed it , the problem remains
I explained this to the technician on the phone
Then:
put caches on desktop
updated the snow leopard to 10.6.1
created a file and saved as a word file using pages, but pages still not open the same doc created by it
The technician tried to contact a senior member and I was left waiting for 20 min to speak with a senior and never happened, I called again and they did the same
Of course that there is something wrong with my system because the previous faulty mac could open word and powerpoint
Any ideas?
Best Regards
Omar

I love iWork, but honestly, if I were the only one in an organization to use a Mac, I would get NeoOffice or Open Office, which are intended to be directly compatible with their Microsoft equivalents. Or, you know, buy MS Office for the Mac.
