Open in Powerpoint?

Hi Apple users
I am wondering if i buy iWork 09, and i create a document in Keynote/Pages/Numbers with a lot of effects there not are in Office. Can my friend (Who has a PC with Office) open my iWork docoment?

There have been many postings on this problem recently. It seems that opening the exported PP in 2004 and saving it will then allow it to open in PP 2011. If you don't have an older version of PP, try to download OpenOffice or some other free office program, open the exported PP in there and then try in PP 2011.

Why can't i open a powerpoint deck without it asking me to 'open using a web application'?

Can anyone tell me how to open a powerpoint deck on my mac--each time I click on the attachment it says, "Open as Web Page"?

Hi Rob_Jones-
I would recommend reading this Support article, as it troubleshoots issues with opening/downloading files:
[[Managing file types]]
Hope that helps.

Outlook 2010 gives error when opening a PowerPoint attachment.

Outlook 2010 gives error when opening a PowerPoint attachment.
Hi All,
We have several VIP employees that are getting the following error on all PowerPoint documents that come as attachments from Outlook.
I have researched and tried the following steps and verified these settings are already applied.
I did find a work around but not a fix and our security team will NOT allow me to change this setting however if I uncheck the setting all employees can open the outlook attachment.
Any other ideas on a fix for this if I am unable to uncheck Enable Protected View.

Hi Matthew,
This is a perennial problem, here is a thread which has a deep discussion about this issue:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/07f710a5-a6ca-4256-8f27-6aac41a6b37e/outlook-2010-unable-to-open-word-excel-and-power-point-attachments-from-an-email?forum=outlook
It looks like nobady really find a solution there, the only workaround is what you have found - change the protected view setting in Trust Center. You will lose some security by doing this but it seems to be the only solid solution currently.

How can I get firefox to open a powerpoint online instead of downloading it ?

Whenever I save a powerpoint presentation from a web page, it automatically downloads on my mac. How do I get it to open the powerpoint instead of downloading it?

Make sure that the file has the .html file extension.
That should be sufficient.
Windows hides some file extensions by default.
Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

PPTs exported from Keynote won't open in Powerpoint 12.2.8

When I export a Keynote 09 file as a Powerpoint and then try to open it in Powerpoint 12.2.8 I get the following error message. "There was an error accessing Symbiont:Users:Symbiodin:Desktop:02EpitheliatextA.ppt This happens with all files I export as ppts, not just one. Curiously, the files will open in Powerpoint 12.2.7? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Or better yet, have a solution for it. (-;{

I also had this problem. I found, by trial and error, that an image I had in my master slides caused the issue. When I removed it, exporting to PowerPoint worked correctly.
This image had been there for a long time, and I'm not sure what was wrong with that image. It used to export fine with older versions of Keynote. Or the latest Office update broke it. I'm not sure who is at fault, as I updated both.
Anyway, that might be something to try. Either in the master slides, or one of the slides.

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

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

When i open a powerpoint, the file is not presented right

When i try to open a powerpoint, the file is opened, but not presented correctly. The background colors and pictures seem missing ( only grey color). The texts are there but in wrong fonts. In the center a small blue box with question mark appears. Strangely enough, if i forward the file to a colleque, he can open it without any problems (he uses ipad 2 and i ipad)
Any ideas?

What app are you using to open a PowerPoint file? Is the friend using the same app?

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.

Keynote is not repsonding , how do you get it to open a powerpoint that is not Keynote is not respond to. It just runs, and runs and never opens, and I have to force quit.

Keynote is not responding.When I click on Keynote Powerpoint presentation icon that is saved on my desktop, it just runs, asnd runs, and runs. I heve to force quit it. I'v never had this happen before. Never had this problem until last night when it would run and run and run. What can I do to open this powerpoint presentation?

I had this same problem as well. The original file had been converted from PPT, and it just got to a point where, while opening, the beach ball would just spin and spin and...
I followed some advice I saw posted somewhere, as follows:
1) Delete everything that is inside of Library/Caches and also ~Library/Caches; i.e., the one is accessed through "Macintosh HD:Library:Caches" and the other, ~Library:Caches folder is accessed by going to the Finder's "Go" menu and holding down the Option key. Delete everything inside each of these Caches folders.
2) Restart the machine and hold down all 4 keys of Command + Option + P + R while starting up, until you hear two bell chimes. After the 2nd bell chime you can let go. This resets the parameter something or other.
Open up Keynote and open yoru file. Should work. Worked for me.

I'm trying to download a powerpoint presentation but it won't open in powerpoint.

I just switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox and now I cannot get files to open in the proper program. I am currently downloading Powerpoint files which used to open in Powerpoint automatically. Then I would save them to my hard drive or thumb drive. Now they just open online as if they are an internet window and I can't save them at all. Are there some settings I can adjust so the computer knows what programs to open things with like it used to? Please help. I'm not very computer literate.
Thank you very much.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unable to open some Powerpoint 2010 PPTX files which were emailed to me

A presentation created by a colleague was emailed to me via Outlook 2010. After saving the file (save attachments) in a folder, I cannot open the PPTx file. I get the following error ina dialogue box:
     Powerpoint found a problem with content in XXX.ppt.
     Powerpoint can attempt to repair the presentation.
     If you trust the source this presentation, click Repair.
When I click on 'Repair', I get another dialogue box which says:
   This error can be caused by following conditions:
    ---- none of which are applicable to my system. Can somebody help me with this problem?

Hi there. I had a similar issue. How I was able to resolve this was by doing the following. You will need Office 2003 (with compatibility pack) and Office 2010.
1. Open the Powerpoint presentation in Powerpoint 2003.
2. Once you have the presentation opened in Powerpoint 2003, save it as a Powerpoint 2007 presentation.
3. Open the presentation using Powerpoint 2010. You may get some error prompts (you can ignore). Click on save as, and save it as a Powerpoint 2010 presentation. Close it.
4. Now open it again using Powerpoint 2010, you should be able to work on it without any issues.
Not the most elegant solution but it worked for me. I hope this helps.

Opening a Powerpoint in JSP and run under Linux

Hi,
I need to have a JSP page that provides a link to open a powerpoint file and this JSP is to be run under Linux. When I try to click on the link in Linux to open the powerpoint, it gives me a lot of junk characters. Can somebody please help mi, thanks a million!

You have the mimetype for the HTTP response set to something other than what will make the browser start a powerpoint viewer and direct the content of the HTTP response to it.
In your jsp use the setHeader(String key,String key) method to set the value of "Content-Type" to the mimetype for powerpoint.
Of course the users must have browsers that are configured to launch a powerpoint viewer or plug-in. If you provide the correct mimetype and peoples browsers desn't have this, then they will get the "save to file" dialog box.

Saved as PPT doesnt open with PowerPoint

Hi friends;
I made a presentation with OpenOficce 3.1 Impress. I saved it as .PPT but when I try to open it with Microsoft PowerPoint in other pc's that dont have OpenOffice nor the sun patch for Microsoft Officce it doesnt work at all.
I have seen in another post that someone solved this using the previous version of Impress and saving the presentation as .pps
Does it mean I have to make the whole presentation from the beginning in an older version of Impress and then save it as pps to be seen with PowerPoint?
I would really appreciate if you could tellme how to save a presentation done with Impress 3.1 to be opened with PowerPoint.
Thanks in advance!!
OppenOffice 3.1 on Windows XP

That's the problem I saved it in Photoshop CS5 and It wont let me open it in that. The message:
"Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
Pops up when i try to open it with Photoshop.
