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.
Dick

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.

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 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.

Issue opening microsoft powerpoint presentation

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.

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.

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

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:

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 want to use Panopto software on my iMac. It works on the PCs at the office, but when I try to open it on my iMac it only opens the video and audio, it will not open the powerpoint presentations. Does anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

Why won't the PPt show when I am trying to record and video tape a PPt presentation on Panopto?

Don't rely on 'Preview'.
Share/Export as .ibooks file and then drag that to iTunes and sync to your iPad.
Still no joy, find a pre-processing recipe ( that includes export for iPad) that doesn't spoil the quality in the process.
Just keep in mind that low quality in means low or lower quality out, in this example.

When I open a powerpoint presentation with keynote the slides are very small. How do I make them fit a page?

When I open a PP with Keynote the slides are very small. How do I make them fit the page, like they did in PP?

I had the same problem.
Go to preferences, slideshow, and check the box "Scale slides to fit display."
Hope this helps!

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?

You cannot open keynote in Powerpoint.
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

Saving a PowerPoint Presentation as a pdf from With Outlook Code

I'm trying to write a macro in Outlook that will open a Powerpoint Presentation (that part works) then save it as a pdf. The code I've seen does not seem to work when running the code from Outlook. Here's what I've got so far, all the commented
lines are my attempts that are based on msdn code.
Sub PPD_PDF()
Set powerpointapp = CreateObject("PowerPoint.application")
powerpointapp.Presentations.Open "K:\PPD Minutes.pptx"
'PowerPoint.ActivePresentation.ExportAsFixedFormat "C:\Users\rhammond\Documents\test.pdf", ppFixedFormatTypePDF, ppFixedFormatIntentScreen, msoCTrue, ppPrintHandoutHorizontalFirst, ppPrintOutputBuildSlides, msoFalse, , , , False, False,
False, False, False
'ActivePresentation.ExportAsFixedFormat _
' FileName:= "C:\Users\rhammond\Dropbox\PPD\" & ActivePresentation.Name & ".pdf", _
' FixedFormatType:=ppFixedFormatTypePDF, _
' ppFixedFormatIntentPrint,
'PowerPoint.Application.ActivePresentation.SaveCopyAs( _
' "C:\Users\rhammond\Dropbox\PPD\PPD Minutes.pdf", _
' ppSaveAsPDF)
End Sub

Would you not want to replace the PowerPoint variable with powerpointapp?
And prefix ActivePresentation with "powerpointapp."?

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.
