Keynote will open PowerPoint files.
And in my opinion does a better job of it then PowerPoint for the Mac.
It will also export its presentations as PowerPoint files.

I have a MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) with OS X Lion 10.7.4. I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 and cannot open older PowerPoint Files (non .pptx). It will always open the same .pptx file and then the machine hangs up and just keeps spinning.

Thank you - that all makes sense. It is, indeed, exactly what I did when I upgraded.
I'm also writing this on the machine that crashed a few minutes ago (I posted the crash in another thread). I got back with a 'safe boot' - as I have done a few times before.
I've also de-installed little snitch (and then done a safe-boot & then re-boot ) since that seemed involved. I de-installed Adobe flash, since that seemed to be a problem - I then re-installed the later, apparently fixed, flash. The most recent crashes don't seeme to have a problem with flash any more.
I've posted the various ( generally different ) crashes. I also posted a summary of the similar lines that turn up in most of the crashes.
Unfortuantely, I'm actually trying to use the machine to meet some urgent deadlines and all this is not making it at all easy.
I had had great hopes for 10.7.2 - I thought that the crashes must be pretty common, so would have a common aetiology. There do seem to have been some fundamental changes to the file sytem and to the video interface (that seems to cause problems to brand new iMacs as well as to my 2009 iMac).

You can even use the Pages app that is installed on your computer. Finally you can buy a license of Office for Mac and have Word, Excel, PowerPoint and if you want Outlook too.

Unable to open Microsoft Powerpoint. Check your Microsoft Powerpoint installation

This is the message I get when I try to edit powerpoint 2007 files. I also can't import PPTX files into Captivate 5.5 (only PPT - Powerpoint 2003 version files)

This is what happens when I try to import/open a MS PowerPoint 2007 file:

Hi Anjaneai: thanks for your reply. The version of MS PowerPoint is 2007 (Portuguese Brazil Version) 12.0.6654.5000. I have tried the steps you suggest but still can't edit from Captivate (only at MS PowerPoint then updating in the library)
Thanks,

When I run multiple Microsoft powerpoint files at a time on my MacBook Air, it simply gets hotter and generates little noise (most probably fan noise). Will this make any effect on life span of MBAir??

When I run multiple Microsoft powerpoint files at a time on my MacBook Air, it simply gets hotter and generates little noise (most probably fan noise). Will this make any effect on life span of MBAir??

Theoretically, yes.
Heat, and heat cycling certainly do take a toll on even solid state components. I have several "very old" Macintosh computers, and the logic boards exhibit the effects.
The fan too, running at higher speeds, does eventually cause wear. More than anything, the higher airflow leads to a higher propensity for dust accumulation on the fan, and the heat exchangers.
In practical terms though, maybe not so much. If you plan on having your computer exhibit a reasonable useful life before you retire it or upgrade, you may never experience any of the detrimental effects. I rarely use a computer longer than 3 years, before I sell, give it away, or just stop using it.
Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. Your computer is well designed to give you a long life, even in the manner in which you describe. Take care of it, but use it for what you bought it for. Nothing you mention is in any way, abuse.

How can I open Microsoft Publisher files

Use a product such as OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Google Docs, iWork, or Microsoft Office 2008 or newer. In the case of Word documents, you can also use TextEdit.

Can Quick Look but not open a PowerPoint file

Someone sent me a power point file, and I can open it in Quick Look both in Apple Mail and in the Finder. However, Quick Look doesn't allow me to enlarge it big enough to make out the details or to print it. Text Edit won't open it. When I try to double-click the file, the finder displays the message:
The document could not be opened. The file is not in the right format.
I have no idea why Windows users blithely send people files like this in proprietary formats under the assumption that anyone and everyone will have no problem opening them. However, since Quick Look can view this, is there another default program on the Mac that can actually open it?

OK, downloaded and installed NeoOffice, and it did indeed open and play the PowerPoint presentation--which, incidently, seemed to employ every single transition known to Microsoft, made me a bit queasy.
As to why Windows users are so enamored with presentations, danged if I know. And why they have to email the things to everyone they know....well, it's a mystery.
Anyway, you can get NeoOffice here:
http://www.neooffice.org/
It's open source, and thus has to be free. But if you actually end up using it very often, consider a donation.

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.

How to browse, view, open Microsoft Office files in Contribute CS4

To browse or view Microsoft Office files (not Office 2007)in Contribute CS4: (I won't say how long it took me to figure this out!)
Make sure Contribute is closed.
Open C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Contribute CS4\Configuration\ViewableExtTypes.txt
Add doc,xls,ppt to the list, save & close ViewableExtTypes.txt and restart Contribute/
It doesn't work for Office 2007 file extensions.
I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.

Opening Microsoft Works files

I am trying to open Microsoft Works database and word processor files. I have saved them on my windows pc with the .db and .wp formats for Mac. Will AppleWorks for Mac open these files if they are in .db and .wp format?

Hi Julie,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
You may find an answer in this discussion of a similar question in this forum about a year ago.

Everytime i open a powerpoint file on my imac it freezes and i cannot close it down or work on it...

WHy does a powerpoint file freeze everytime i open it on my imac...

Please do NOT post your question multiple times in different threads.
One possibility is that the version of Powerpoint installed on your Mac is enough older than the version of Powerpoint on the PC used to create the file that it cannot read it.
Hope this helps

Opening Microsoft Publisher file in Mac

Does anyone know of a way to open a Publisher file on a Mac. My son started a school project in publisher -- he needs to complete the project now as a home assignment. I guess they think everyone works with windows -- Ha.
Any thought?
Carl

Another course of action to take is to save out the .pub file into a .doc file to take home and work on then rehash the .doc file back into a .pub file. But that just seems to much to be had.
I thought that OpenOffice.org would open publisher files but then after the air cleared from the brain **** I had, it was Powerpoint files, hey, they both start with the letter 'P'. Publisher, Powerpoint, Presentation. LOL.
Nonetheless, converting .pub to .doc, working on .doc, then converting back to .pub is a way to go at this point, but that would be tripling the work, eh?
