Power Point to Keynote??

I got an email from a friend that is a PowerPoint Show. When you click on the attachment on a windows with PowerPoint the show plays by its self. It may play without PowerPoint. But try it on the Mac and no work. I tried opening it in Keynote 2 and it opens but it is missing two fonts and there is music with it and that does not play. And the slide are like 5 inches tall by 6 inches wide on my screen. What I'm trying to say is that the slides do not fill the screen like they should. So can anyone help me get it running?
Thanks
Taylor

Hello. Probably the best bet is to download Powerpoint for Mac which will provide you a viewer for your the Powerpoint your friend sent you. You'll have to run it using Classic, though.

I am trying to sync power point in keynote

I puta ppt into keynote-when I hit + in keynote it appears but is not available (grayed out) I cannot sync power point to keynote in my ipad.
I tried emailing it to myself but keynote did not appear as an option to send to.
Any ideas out there.

Throw it onto iCloud. Www.icloud.com. Then hit iWork and keynote is an option. Drag the PPT into there. Then it should appear on your iPad. Just make sure in iPad settings that your logged into iCloud and you have documents and data ON.

Can I modify a power point presentation on the keynote and send it back as a power point? Will a PC be able to open it?

Can I modify a power point presentation that was sent to me on my keynote (OS X version 10.9.4, processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, memory 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3), and send the presentation back after the modification as a power point? Will a PC be able to open it and work with without any problem? How should I do it? Also, there are some videos that do not play, what should I do?
Thanks for the help.

Can I modify a power point presentation
Keynote will open, edit and save PowerPoint files.
In Keynote use: File > Open, then select the PowerPoint file.
Once edited save it by: press the Option key then, File > Save As
PowerPoint file will open if the user has either PowerPoint or PowerPoint Viewer installed on the Windows computer.
Also, there are some videos that do not play, what should I do?
If they are Windows Media files they would have to be converted to play on a Mac.

FCP and Power Point

I have a power point presentation that I need to incorporate into a Final Cut project. I have no problem converting slides to video. The problem is keeping the resolution high enough to see details clearly. I have tried using power point and Keynote. Both creat files that pixelate in final cut. Any suggestions?

Kevz,
Just a guess . . . But sometimes if the RT (Real Time) is set to Safe it can pixelate the preview to allow a real time preview instead of a 'sharper' unlimited one.
Sometimes if you can afford to (time permitting)coninue and encode the file, you may find the resolution of your original is still there.
Hope that helps

New to apple and wondering if using keynote is easier than power point.

Hello all,
I have only been using os x for about 6 months, and I was wondering if using keynote is easier than power point? I am in school so I need to know if keynote will save in ppt format. The school that I go to only uses MS office 97 to 2004 format for all docs and power points. Is using keynote that much different?

i find keynote MUCH easier in almost all areas. it did take me a little learning in the beginning. the main thing to know is that apple uses a floating pallet call "inspector" to control just about all the details of the presentation. they also have a "formatting bar" which is conceptually similar to the formatting bars microsoft uses in the previous versions of office (font size, etc...).
the basic entry for slides is the same, where one just types into the fields on the slides. what i find much better is the control i have in the "inspector" to fine tune anything. i've gotten completely dependent on keynotes "staging" which is how one makes the slides animate. if i have a series of bullets and a diagram, i use the staging to get the diagram to be revealed in stages and to get the bullets appear one at a time in sync with the diagram i'm explaining. nothing is more boring for an audience to have someone just stand up, thru up a slide with 100 words and read the text bullets.
i find keynote to be much easier to develop diagrams or to copy and paste in a PDF picture. then add the staging effects i need to develop the story to explain the diagram or picture. it does take a little learning how to do it the first couple times. but the interface is consistent and it's not hard to learn it.
the only aspect i find a little easier in powerpoint is the indenting style, which is controlled in one of the editing buttons in office 11 and before. keynote controls the indenting from the "inspector" instead of having a little button in the formatting bar. but in every other way, i find keynote to be MUCH easier to use. and it has other features that powerpoint doesn't have. plus iwork is very inexpensive compared to microsoft office. finally, if you are near an apple store, they have free seminars on iWork fairly often. the 1st time i used keynote, i went to the apple store workshop and got a few answers. just see how easy it is to get person to person help for microsoft office...
the only other game in town are the various releases of the open source programs, "open office" and "neo office". they are free, also read and write ppt files, but are a little harder to use than keynote and don't have as many features.
anyway, that's my experience.
good luck!

Need to play Power Point Presentation with Audio in Keynote

My wife and I have lots of Power Point slide shows with audio from the days when we were windows users. We have downloaded a trial version of iWork 09 and would like to know how we can play these .pps files that contain audio in Keynote.
We appreciate any help that anyone could provide as we would much prefer to use Keynote/iWork than MS Office.

That's interesting about NeoOffice. I keep a copy of it up to date but don't use it too often.
This may be too involved for the OP but I would play the file in NeoOffice and record the audio with WIreTap or similar, export it as an MP3 file and then import it into Keynote.
WIreTap can have its input source set to Mac Audio so that it will record from any application that is capable of producing sound.

RE: Keynote to Power Point; timing off

I created a file in KEYNOTE with multiple transitions on the BULLET POINTS. When I EXPORTED to POWER POINT then sent to my client the transition timing was off. For example, a TWO SECOND DISSOLVE translated into 1/2 SECOND. Is this a systemic problem with KEYNOTE?
Thanks, Andy

How to import power point sound on keynote ?

how can I import power point diaporamas with the sound on keynote ?

Sorry, Adobe Reader only reads PDF files, not PowerPoint files.
However, if you bought Keynote for about US $9.99 in the App Store, you could open PowerPoint files.

Portrait power point not formatting correctly in keynote

I am moving from a pc to a mac. Most of the work that I would have created in pages on a mac was created in power point. From what I can tell is that keynote doesn't handle portrait mode. I really don't want to spend hours reformatting all my files. Is there an easy solution to this issue?
Thanks!

Most of the work that I would have created in pages on a mac was created in power point.
Pages is a text creation tool from Apple used to create printed paper output, not for creating presentations.
PowerPoint is a presentation tool from Microsoft used to create screen based presentations.
Keynote is a presentation tool from Apple, used to create screen based presentations.
From what I can tell is that keynote doesn't handle portrait mode.
Keynote can present presentations in either; portrait, view or square formats; Inspector > Document >Document > Slide Size > Custom Slide Size
I really don't want to spend hours reformatting all my files
If you have existing PowerPoint files they can be imported into Keynote and saved as Keynote files in whatever size format they were created in.

How edit text from a MS Power Point thats now in keynote?

how to edit text in Keynote from a file that came from MS Power Point 2010?

A Powerpoint file imported into Keynote is converted to a Keynote file.
All text functions are therefore available:
single click to insert the cursor
double click on a word to select a word
treble click to select a line
typing on a selected word will change the text

Will my recording slideshow on keynote translate well as a power point on a PC?

Hello, I'm creating a power point presentation while narrating it using the" record slideshow" option on keynote. I will need to turn it in a for a letter grade. However my professor will be using her power point program to view this presentation, and I was just wondering whether or not my voice narration would be transferred over?
Thank you.

The best information is in the Keynote user manual from Page 107.
Be aware that many users are having problems playing back Keynote with narration, especially in Mountain Lion.
Additionally, the links to media files are lost when exporting from Keynote, therefore the narration will have to be imported into Powerpoint again. I never use Keynote to export to PowerPoint if there is video or audio involved, it just does not work properly, I therefore work in PowerPoint directly. If you don't have PowerPoint, download Open Office for Mac, its every bit as good, and being freeware it costs nothing.

Date Labels in Keynote compared to Power Point

I am used to Power Point where when I create a that has dates on the X axis I can have the labels shown for each 1 year or each 1 week. In Keynote, it seems like I can only either auto select or select each "x" categories. This is OK except when there are 366 days in a year or you want to do one label for each quarter and there are differing number of days in a quarter. Any thoughts other than deleting the date labels except the ones I want to use?

PowerPoint does not have a "slideshow recording" feature, therefore the recorded sound can't be included.
You would need to record a separate narration using Quicktime, then use PowerPoint or Libra Office to add the sound to the PowerPoint file.
Libra is an open source freeware application and can be downloaded from their website.

How to export keynote to power point when sharing with other people

I had to manipulate a master's of someone else on keynote, record my slides and then post it to a discussion board, it kept removing my recording when I exported it to power point for presentation. I could not do it and I tried everything renaming it with no characters. Help!!!

PowerPoint does not support recorded presentations when exporting the recording is removed.
You will need to use a Keynote presentation without the recorded timings or usePowerPoint, Open Office or Libra Office to author a presentation with individual timings on each slide.

When I open Power Point files in Keynote the music does not play. How can I solve this?

When I open Power Point files in Keynote the music does not play. How can I rectify this?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
