PowerPoint 2007 (Windows) to DVD via Keynote?

HI....
I recently created a 245 slide presentation in PP 2007 for Windows. I need to convert the show to DVD, but now find that my options to do that are limited and the products on the market are not that great. Is there a way to import the WIN 2007 show into Keynote and then burn to DVD without losing all the special effects in the show? The show is mostly jpeg photos with one 2 minute WMF video clip.
Many Thanks!
Tom

Thanks for the no reply, no help, great.
I figured it out, stay away from FCP for this,
Use Powerpoint and Keynote 08, then use iSpring (Pro) (Windows, Parallels or BootCamp) to export PPT file (with mp3 audio) to a Flash (swf) file. Plays great in any web browser with Flash plugin, or Eltima or other Flash / SWF player

How do I set up original windows 8 DVD on a Macbook air when my external drive needs both usb ports?

got a brand new macbook air and want to set up an original Windows 8 DVD via bootcamp. Probleme: my external DVD needs 2 usb port connection so I want have a chance to plug in an usb drive at the same time.
Any other choice to get along?

ok I'll try this - why didn't I have this problem with my previous Macbook air - I cannot remember how I managed setting up an original Win 7 with exact.the same equipement. Has the bootcamp Software changed? I remember burning a cd with the Windows Driver.

Exporting Keynote 4.0 to Powerpoint 2007 and 2008

I know that this topic has been discussed previously with respect to Powerpoint 2007 but I'm somewhat frustrated with the export to powerpoint feature in Keynote. Some background:
1. Using keynote since version 1.0
2. Never had a significant problems with exporting to Powerpoint 2004 (minor issues aside)
3. Keynote files exported to .ppt don't open in Powerpoint 2007/2008 (exect very basic files). Exported file can be opened in 2004....
4. Thought that it was an issue with Powerpoint but after trying various combinations now convinced that it is Keynote.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem. When I export a Keynote 4.0.1 presentation to Powerpoint, it cannot be played with the new Powerpoint 2008 on that same Mac (Powerpoint crashes), and it cannot be played on a Windows machine with Powerpoint 2007 (puts Powerpoint into a weird state).
I can take that exported Powerpoint to my iMac where I haven't upgraded to Office 2008 and play it on the older Powerpoint 2004. If I bring the exported Powerpoint (from Keynote 4.0.1) into Powerpoint 2004 and then do a SaveAs from Powerpoint 2004, I can play THAT EXPORT with Powerpoint 2008 on my MacBook Pro.
Keynote 4.0.1 needs to be fixed soonest!

How can I force mount a dvd that isn't even seen by Disk Utility? I can see it on the Mac when using my Windows 7 partition via Boot Camp, but not in Lion, which is how I would rather be running.

Well if there is a EFI block, then running a program in OS X isn't going to do a lick of good.
After all EFI was designed for Trusted Computing and Digital Rights Management, to act between the OS and hardware, can read drives, contact the Internet and everything.
Windows doesn't use EFI, will have UEFI in Windows 8 though.

Why can I not see PowerPoint 2007 comments in KeyNote 09?

I created a KeyNote presentation for my class in KeyNote and saved it to a PowerPoint 2003 format (teacher request). I sent it off to the teacher, who used PowerPoint 2007 to add comments using the comments feature on the review tab, who then sent it back to me.
I opened the presentation in KeyNote and there are no notes shown. I made sure the SHOW COMMENTS option was selected in the file menu but they are nowhere to be seen.
I will note that there were no errors in the compatibility box when I opened it in KeyNote. I do have a copy of PowerPoint 2007 in BootCamp and the comments do show. But I'd rather, for obvious reason, use KeyNote.
Can someone help?

Can't view Powerpoint 2007 thumbnails in Bridge CS5 (Win 7)

I can view 2003 (win) files (saved from Powerpoint 2007) as thumnails in Bridge, but thumbs for 2007 files (*.pptx) are not generated.
Any ideas?
Windows 7
Bridge CS5.5 (4.1.0.54)

I have seen screenshots with PPTX thumbnails visible. I believe these Bridge thumbnails appear on WinXP installs so I'm thinking there is a Win7 aspect to this...
Using a Mac with CS6 I tried a pps, ppt and a pptx file and all of them only show as Powerpoint icon and none have a thumbnail with preview of the content.
Also tried it with Apple Keynote, the Mac PP equivalent and here I checked the option to include a preview of the file but same result, just an icon of Keynote application.
Looking at the file type associations their is neither support for Powerpoint not Keynote so it does not seem possible.
The screenshot from your memory is probably manipulated or you suffer from good memory like we all seem to do every now and then...

Opening Powerpoint 2007 file

I purchased iWork '08 a couple of weeks ago in order to open PowerPoint 2007 files on my computer at home. However when I download the PowerPoint file from the internet, it downloads as a folder (inside the folder is more folders labeled: _rels, docProps, ppt, with more folders inside them) instead of just a PowerPoint file. Keynote '08 wont open the folder.
Any ideas on different ways to download or save the file so that it will open?

Usually the Window menu allows you to adjust window placement in Microsoft Office products.
If not, connect an external display or projector and change the resolution to the maximum.
Save the document with the window residing on the main screen with the Dock.
That will force it to open on the main screen in the future.

Installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp Assistant on late 2013 iMac 27"

So here I am with a brand new 27" iMac bought on Nov 3. Machine is top of the line w/ 3.5GHz quad-core intel i7Core, 4GB Video Card, 3TB Fusion Drive and right out the box on first start up and first update, I install Windows 7 via Boot Camp. Best install of all time, right on through no problems whatsoever and I'm thinking - Problems? what problems! HA! ... well a week later Windows 7 crashes from my own bone-headed mistakes and i go to reinstall windows thinking oh i'll be down for maybe 2 hrs? but it'll fix my problem. No way.. 1 week and an exchange-for-another-identical-imac-from-store later plus $300+ dollars in tech services Here I am with no resolution to this problem of installing Windows 7 via boot camp. I just absoultely couldn't get past the stinkin' step of "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing partition... yadda yadda yadda"
UNTIL NOW - 9:07AM on 11/19/13 I have SOLVED the problem. Read from here down to get my instructions (with Pictures of course!!)
Before you even start this is VERY IMPORTANT. Things will go to all **** if you don't.
USB ports. On the back of my iMac, there are 4 of them. From Left to Right (you have to acknowledge this or things will never work), place your Super Drive (CD/DVD Drive) in the Left slot. Next, place your USB Mouse in the 2nd from Left slot. Finally, place your USB/Flash Drive in the 3rd Slot (it will be 2nd from the Right). See Fig1.
FIG.1
Now you go to Boot Camp Assistant, start it up, and check off the SECOND option:
"Download the latest Windows software from Apple". See Fig2.
FIG 2
Let the download do its thing and when its done, Boot Camp will advance to the partitioning screen. Allocate the space you want for the Windows 7 Partition and hit "Install".
CRUCIAL: Immediately after hitting "Install", Boot Camp will pop up a message stating that the USB/Flash drive currently inserted providing Windows Software drivers brings a functionality issue and Boot Camp will disable the drive to continue. This has to happen in order to avoid the dreaded "A new setup partition or existing partition cannot be located" message that comes during the Windows 7 Install when picking your partition. I am convinced that this pop up only occurs when you have your DVD drive, Mouse, and USB/Flash drives inserted into their appropriate slots.
After you accept Boot Camp's disabling of the USB drive, install is pretty standard there on out. Boot Camp will create the partition, the computer will reboot and begin its Windows 7 install via your CD/DVD drive. Also want to note that I used a wireless keyboard during the entrie intallation process. I had a wired keyboard installed in my numerous attempt this past week b/c I had read in so many forums a wired keyboard was better for this install - well NOT IN THIS CASE. In fact the added USB ports that come with the wired keyboard only confused things for me even further.
I am happy to say that Windows 7 has installed successfully on my iMac, and I've reached its appropriate updates as well. Now onto 3DS Max 2014 install.

You can't do what you want with GUI utilities, which will only allow a total of 4 partitions due to the limitation of MBR needed to support Windows. Those four partitions: EFI System (hidden), Mac OS, Recovery HD (hidden), Windows. So with Lion, you only get two visible partitions if you're going to use Windows with BootCamp. You can't make anymore with the included graphical tools.
If you need more partitions you'll need to use something like GPT fdisk (gdisk) to create the partitions in the GPT first. Then add the Windows partition only to the MBR and flag it as bootable. gdisk can be googled and downloaded for Mac OS X off sourceforge. It is not a GUI tool.
You should read this:

Thank you

Microsoft store will provide a download manager (.exe) using your Product Key, which needs to be run on a PC. This manager will then let you download an ISO image to a USB and/or DVD.

Apple wired keyboard. Number pad not working with Windows Office 07 via bo

I have a 27' Quad core i7 with windows 7 loaded via bootcamp. i have Office 2007 loaded in the Windows partition.
My problem is that the number pad on my wired apple keyboard does not work in excel or word. The number at the top of the keyboard work fine.
Has anyone found a solution please.
Message was edited by: Fernbergjim

Hi,
does the numpad work in other Windows programs, or is it just the MS Office programs ?
Have you tried the 'clear'-key (the one above the '7'-key on the numpad) to enable the numpad ?

PDF and PowerPoint 2007, strange slides and handouts

I'm getting strange output when I create a presentation in PowerPoint and print to Acrobat. The problems happen whether I print Slides or Handouts.
-- On some slides, the slide title is partially or completely missing.
-- In grayscale mode, some graphics show up in color.
-- Solid-color shapes (boxes) show up cross-hatched.
-- For handouts only, some slides have headers and footers, and others do not.
I'm using PowerPoint 2007, up to date, and Acrobat Professional 9.1.3.
I've used PowerPoint and Acrobat for many years and only recently began to have these problems. I've tried changing some of the endless printing options in Acrobat, but nothing I've found so far has made a difference.
Those problems (with the possible exception of the color graphics in grayscale mode, I don't remember) do not happen when I print to Microsoft's XPS format.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

Thank you! That's helping a lot. I don't see how to get grayscale in that route, but at least I'm getting proper color handouts, no errors. Plus it outputs much faster. Hmmm. I haven't tried saving in PPT format instead of PPTX. And then there's an Excel spreadsheet that takes several minutes to output 14 pages via print to Adobe PDF printer (it used to be much faster, I don't know why it suddenly slowed down, I didn't change the spreadsheet), I wonder if that would be faster if I saved in PDF format rather than printing to the Adobe PDF printer.
Again, thank you. You have helped, plus you gave me leads to follow.
ATB,
Mark

Printing Problems with PowerPoint 2007

Running Acrobat Pro 8.1.4, / Distiller Pro 8.1.3 / and PDF Maker Plug-in 8.1.3.0 / Windows XP.
Using the plug-in from PowerPoint 2007 to create a PDF file of that PowerPoint, I see the following: "preparing slide" and then "Converting to Adobe PDF ..." and then receive the following "Acrobat PDF Maker" error: "An error occurred when trying to print to Adobe PDF." On other occasions, when I've tried this -- my PC crashed.
When I use the printer function in PowerPoint ("print to adobe pdf" ) to get around this problem -- the first time, the process seems to complete, but then, no pdf file appears (I have the option set to open that file) ... and the file is not present in the saved location. However, when I try the same thing again -- the resulting file both appears and is available as a saved file in the right location.
Any insights / suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gary

Thanks Bill - appreciate your advice. I printed the PowerPoint "to file" (but was required to uncheck the "use system fonts only" option.) Having generated the print file*, I ran distiller without any problems - no error messages. Having failed to understand the problem that way - I saved the powerpoint in 2003 format, and again, tried to use the pdf maker plug-in -- and received the same error message at the same junctor as before. (I had preferences set-up with "embed font -- which I unchecked and also tried to run -- but without success.)
*Something odd -- the last several times that I have used the print to PDF (with or without "to file" checked) -- I seem to fail on the first effort ... but succeed on the second effort.
Will look forward to any further guidance.
And again ... thanks.
Gary

Compatibility with Powerpoint on Windows

Hi,
I use iWork mainly for page layout work in iWork but I have been trying out Keynote lately. I am a scientist doing my PhD and I was toying with the idea of making my confirmation seminar in Keynote because it is so much better than powerpoint. The problem is I have to do the presentation on a Windows XP machine with Office XP. I just wanted to know if I will run into any problems when exporting to a .ppt file. I am going to stick to the main Windows fonts and I think I will steer clear of any fancy transitions in case they don't show up.
Is there anything else I need to know? Any graphics formats that won't work and any other features I should avoid? I need to insert some graphs but Keynote's beautiful graphs look a bit blurry in Powerpoint 2004. I was thinking of making my graphs in Graphpad Prism anyway.
Thanks in advance,
Ben

One more thing I was wondering, do GIF files support transparency and vector data? I have been working on a graph in the program Prism on Windows. This program can export directly to powerpoint- from what I can tell, it sends the graph as a .pdf image into a new slide. The graph looks great on Windows when I do this but does not appear at all in Powerpoint 2004 on the mac.
Keynote actually shows the graph correctly, but if I then work on it in keynote and export to Powerpoint again, keynote converts the image to a .png file which will work in powerpoint on the mac but looks a bit blurry. The graph then appears black when I re-open it in windows! What a nightmare!
Graphpad prism does have other export options but I'm not sure which would be the best to preserve the appearance (transparent background) as well as cross-platform portibility. The options are:
EMF, WMF, PDF, EPS, TIF, JPG, PNG, BMP, PCX.
I thought maybe I could try TIF, then use a program like graphic converter to change it to a GIF file?

ISight to run in MSN (Windows Vista Business via Parallels)

Hi guys !
I'm a MAC newbee and as I need to run some Windows applications I have installed Windows Vista Business via Parallels.
Everything works just fine - except for the iSight web-cam when running MSN. I have installed the AppleiSight drivers from the Leopard DVD into the Windows Vista and I did get it running once. But since then the iSight won't start if running MSN. The iSight works perfectly in PhotoBoot, iChat and so on, so there's no problem with the actual HW.
If I try ro re-install the drivers it seems they're already installed, still my MSN doesn't find any cam connected.
I read somewhere that I might need to make the iSight camera "available" to Windows, but I haven't been able to figure out where that might be - if that is really the case... ??!! So if anyone can point me in the right direction here it would be just awesome...
THANKS !!!

I am having trouble getting the isight to work with aMSN messenger. When the video comes up, I can see myself in the screen viewing box, but the person I am messaging cannot. I am aware that MSN is a microsoft program and therefore might not work with apple. aMSN says that my isight is firewalled or blocked by a router and that I need port forwarding. I was wondering if there is any way around this or if anyone knows the numbers involved for the port forwarding?
"If you are unable to view a webcam in aMSN after a contact has send you an invite, or after you have issued the command to receive/send webcam, and you are behind a router, you may need to follow these steps:
If you receive: IP-Restrict-NAT and you receive false in webcam wizard, that means your connection is firewalled. (does not send the IP)
If this is the case, you will need to open some ports for the webcam to use because they are currently blocked.
To do this, open your router web-based configuration (check router manual for details on this). Once you have the web-based configuration open, browse for a setting called "port forwarding" or "port range forwarding" or something similar to that. (This might be found under the advanced features for your router).
Now that you have the port forwarding page open, you will want to set the port forwarding range so that aMSN will be able to accept and send the webcam stream.
Here's an example of how you will set up your port forwarding:
Application: aMSN
Start: 6890
End: 6900
Protocol: Both(TCP & UDP)
IP: xxx.xxx.x.xxx
Enabled: X (Yes/True)
Note: xxx.xxx.x.xxx is the IP of your machine that you are trying to send / receive webcam
If you have a web server open on your port 80, you can try to disable it too, sometimes it helps."

Cannot embed 3D PDF into powerpoint 2007

Hello:
I can't embed 3D model from .pdf file into powerpoint 2007.
Followed all instructions, the 3D model is captured from VMD program using acrobat 3d 8.0,
it is saved automatically as .pdf file,
it is able to open and rotate in the acrobat reader,
then in powerpoint 2007, when i want to embed it,
i click the embed 3D button, the add 3d data window appear,
but in the file selection, the .pdf file is not supported.
only those .u3d, .cad, ... are supported, and i tried these, they can be embeded.
but i am confused, how can i really embed the .pdf file to powerpoint?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for both of your help.
I am still not quite understand how the OCX means.
Does it mean the "embed 3D" button appeared in powerpoint or some other kind of software?
Currently what I did is export the 3d model in the .pdf to a .u3d file.
then I can choose the .u3d file and embed it since this format is supported. And I can rotate it in powerpoint. But the only problem is it's now in perspective view and I cannot change it to orthographic view inside the powerpoint.
Even in the .pdf I set the default view to orthographic, the exported and embeded is still perspective.
So is there any way to export it as orthographic model?
