Make Keynote default presentation software

I have office 08 on my Mac but have now switched to iWork 08. I don't want to delete office 08 as there are some occasions when I need it, but i prefer to work in iWork 08.
How do I make keynotes the default program for presentations. Likewise for pages and numbers respectively?
Cheers

Highlight a known Word document in the Finder, highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose Pages. If Pages is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the Pages application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with Pages. You can then double-click the Word documents & they will open in Pages. Note that the icon for the Word files will have a plain, white icon.
Repeat with Excel/Numbers & PowerPoint/Keynote.

Impact on Keynote 09 after software change into OSX 10.6.2

I noticed unpleasant surprise on my latest slides presentation apparently connected with the just done update to the latest Snow Leopard software version - any of the description (titles) on the individual slides has been lost. They are still visible on the preview (left hand on the screen), but not during showing the particular slide or entire presentation running. I have been used the different fonts than standard ones of the particular sample available from Keynote file. What is more I recognized that for any new Keynote 09 presentation change from such standard fonts generate the phenomenon of unabling to put on any description (title). It would be interested to know whether other forum participants having experenced the similar issues.
Regards,
Tom

I have a similar problem after upgrading to 10.6.2. My keynote will open the file but a couple of slides do not display properly. They show in preview fine, the title displays ok, but most of the text is missing. This happens on only 2 of the 36 slides in the presentation. Using default fonts.

How can I make Keynote files read-only (eg: to share with students)?

I would like to share some keynote files with students, and I would like to set them up as read-only, so that the students can tap the screen, read my presentation, but not alter it. I've tried to set the files up as read-only on my iMac desktop, but when I load the file onto my iPad, it's still editable.
Any ideas re: how to make Keynote files read-only?
I've tried to export the files as PDF and load them into iBook, but some of Keynote's basic "build" functions won't work this way. Specifically, I have files set up with questions and answers (ie - a question appears, and you have to tap the screen to see the answer, but this "build" function seems to disappear when I get it to show up in iBook).
Any ideas how to make Keynote files read-only? I am happy to use another program, but I want the students to tap the screen in order to see the answer to a question.
Thanks!

as long as $PATH is set, you shouldn't need to reconnect them (i think). if you send the list of apps through | awk -F '/' '{print $NF}' | that'll strip the path
/edit: added the "(i think)" part

Possible to view Keynote files / presentations as read only ?

Keynote has been a wonderful study tool: I can tap the screen on my iPad2 or iPhone4, and the next bit of information appears (using the "builds" effects to make new info appear, eg: answers to questions). It's just like flash cards, but on an Apple mobile device. However, the temptation is always there to keep editing the text (ie: cut/copy-paste, and break up more paragraphs into question-answer format).
With the recent software upgrades (including a Keynote upgrade), is there now a way to make Keynote files "read-only," once they're on an iPad2 or iPhone4? Last year I tried to make my files "read-only" on my Mac desktop, but when I downloaded them onto my iPad2, they were still editable.
Or, does anybody know of any other app or program that can display Keynote on an iPad, with all its "builds" and effects, but in a read-only format so that it can't be edited in the iPad/iPhone?

Hi ,
Please try with the following code in the feeder class in GET_DATA method( after ct_data is assigned ) and check if it works.
   field-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> like line of CT_FIELD_USAGE.
   loop at CT_FIELD_USAGE ASSIGNING <FS_FIELD>.
     case <FS_FIELD>-NAME.
     when 'FIELD_NAME'.
         <FS_FIELD>-READ_ONLY = 'X'.
     ENDCASE.
CV_FIELD_USAGE_CHANGED = abap_true.

MacBookPro IR remote use with presentation software

Hi all. This is my first post to the forum, after my first full day with my new MacBookPro. I'm a long-time MS Windows / PC user, never used MAC before. (I wished I'd bought a mac sooner! I'm hooked!) So there's my background, now here's my question:
The new MacBookPro comes with this schnazzy little IR remote. Could anyone tell me if this remote can also be used to "select next slide" when using presentation software like PowerPoint, Impress (open-source), or KeyNote?
Since all of these software packages simply use an "Enter" or "Space" key press to advance slides... it seems this would be a simple thing to get to work.
I'm grateful for anyone's help or advice. Thanks!
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.9) New to MAC, not to computers.

Yes I used it with Keynote but first, go to system preferences/security and veryfie that disable remote control infrared receiver is not chek.

Any presentation software that can put equations inline?

As far as I can tell, this is not possible in Keynote, because it does not allow equations, graphics, etc. to be placed inline—that is, such that they flow with the text. For some reason, it seems like word processing apps can all do this, but presentation apps can't:
Pages, yes; Keynote, no. Word, yes; PowerPoint, no. LibreOffice Writer, yes; Impress, no.
You think they'd use the same text engine for both...
Anyway, anyone know of some presentation software that can do this? (I may be reduced to using Beamer/LaTeX, but this is not a thrilling prospect.)

Seef,
Is this site any use? http://www.mixalbum.com/main/C0
You mix your tracks online, but more importantly, you can get to try the system before you commit any money.
Good Luck!
Ken.

How to open and upgrade Keynote 08 presentations

Hello,
The new keynote can not open presentations saved with keynote 08. It asks for the presentation to be first opened in keynote 09.
The thing is, I don't have Keynote 09, and only the newest version is available from the app store.
So I can I open and upgrade my keynote 08 presentations ?
Thanks

Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

How do I change the default email software used when clicking on a link?

When I click on a link to email a page to someone, it defaults to outlook which is not my default email software. How do I change this?

Change the '''Action''' for '''''mailto''''' in the Applications tab of Options.

HT3430 Can't open a Keynote 09 presentation in Keynote 08

Keynote 09 does not have a "Save As" option so there doesn't seem to be a way to open a Keynote 09 presentation on Keynote 08.

Keynote projects are not backward compatible:
Keynote 09 projects can not be opened in Keynote 08, they are different file types.
Either arrange to have the project saved as an 08 project press the option key then; file > save as
file save as > save a copy in 08 format
or purchase Keynote 09

Adobe Reader drawing without Comment Tools or Method to set "Make Properties Default" without popup

Hi everyone,
Spending a few days to find a solution for drawing lines, polylines, polygons, circles, rectangles, etc. It looks like a "dead end" since I want to develop a plugin for Adobe Reader that can draw custom Lines, Polylines, Polygons, ... (objects I can set my styles without using built-in style dialog). I want to use my custom dialog to set styles and do drawing without using Comment Tools. The problem is: when I use AVPageViewDrawingProc callback, I can draw only rectangle, polyline, polygon, no way to draw circle, text, etc.
Another solution is to use Comment Tools. But when changing between tools I want to apply my styles to the tool (line color, text color, text size, ...), like the way you right click on an annotation and select "Properties", then mark "Make Properties Default" as checked before selecting "OK". I don't want to show the dialog to confuse user when he changes tools. So, is there any API method to help me selecting an annotation and mark this selected annotation to be default styles?
I still can't find a way to change text size of FreeText realtime.
Anybody can help me?
Kind Regards

If I were building something like this, I would have my plugin create custom annotations. You can draw whatever you want in the appearance of the annotation.

IE it tries to make itself default browser instead of Firefox

If a program starts IE it makes itself default browser. McAfee warns me and offers to change it back. Recent occurrence: I attempted to purchase Serif PagePlus updated version this started IE which then made itself default.

Click the Firefox button, then Options | Options | Advanced.
In the General tab, checkmark "''Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup''" located in the System Defaults menu. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u#w_general-tab General Tab | System Defaults]
