PowerPoint viewer for Mac OS X?

Members of my political group keep sending me PP (PowerPoint) presentations.
QUESTION: Is there a PowerPoint viewer that works with Macintosh OS X? (From what I see, the answer is NO, but sometimes I miss things.)
I have OS 10.4.7. Thanks a lot.

There's also this.

Not sure if it's able to open the lastest docs, but
might still be good in a pinch if the other viewer
doesn't work for a particular presentation.
Kyn, Hi!
Look at this cut and paste from that site: •
System Requirements for Using PowerPoint 98 Viewer:
To use PowerPoint 98 or Office 98, you need:
• Any PowerPC processor-based, Mac OS-compatible system.
• Apple System 7.5.5 to 9.x.
I am suspecting that since it was printed in 2004, and it says that it is good for "any PPC, MacOS-compatible system", it MIGHT NOT cover Tiger. And since Tonic Point works fine, I am going to stick with it. However, the downside to Tonic Point is also that I cannot print out the document that is shown. 8-(

Problem when saving a PowerPoint 2008 for Mac file to PDF.

When I save my PowerPoint 2008 for Mac file as a PDF, the text/font comes out wrong in the PDF -- kind of looks degraded (thinner, darker, more pixilated). I've tried changing the font in the PowerPoint file many times and tried saving it as a PDF both directly and through print -- but each time the text/font doesn't come through correctly in the PDF. The images/photos in the PowerPoint file all convert to the PDF just fine. Can anyone help?

How do I remove a white background from clipart in PowerPoint 2008 for Mac?

I have several clip arts that are in .jpeg and .png format. These are of somewhat irregular shapes, and are on a white background. I want to eliminate the white background so that I can use these clip arts on colored backgrounds. I know that there is a simple way to do this in MS PowerPoint 2008 for Mac, but I've forgotten how. Can anyone help? Time is of the essence. Thanks in advance. - Mark

I still use Office 2008 but have not encountered that issue. However, as Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:

Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

Is anybody know best image viewer for Mac..?

Is anybody know best image viewer for Mac..?
I like Windows Explorer Image view .. you just open one file and left and right will scroll though .. can do it in full screen too.
I try a Photo+ and everything is ok, but again must select all pictures or folder to open many photos. I click to one photo in folder, Photo+ open only clicked photos

Try this one... it's called Privcy
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/privcy/id828281323?ls=1&mt=12
Can easily navigate using cursor keys. What I like is that as you move past the last image it automatically shows the next folder or zip. Ideal for quickly looking at pictures.
Also you can paint/airbrush pictures immediately...

Inserting a .wmv file into a powerpoint 2011 for mac

When I try to insert a wmv file in powerpoint 2011 for mac I get the following error. "Powerpoint couldn't insert a movie from the selected file. Either the file is non standard or Quicktime is not installed properly." I do have Flip4Mac installed. I also tried to rename the .wmv file as a .mov file. Thanks in advance for your help.

I do have Flip4Mac installed. I also tried to rename the .wmv file as a .mov file.
Do you have the $29 (or greater) Flip4Mac decoder component installed? Changing the file extension at the Finder level does not change the data type contained within the file nor the file container type. If you want the WMV data in an MOV file container, you must use the QT 7 Pro (or MPEG Streamclip) "Save As..." option (together with the decoder component) to partially expand the WMV data (file will be noticeably larger) and place the expanded data in a "real" MOV file container.

Photo Viewer for Mac

Is there an equivalent of Windows photo viewer for the mac? I don't want to edit images in it, I just want to view in full screen and to go forward and back thought the images, with simple options to 'view at 100%' 'flip left/right', 'enlarge' etc. This is not big difficult stuff right?
I've played with iphoto and dislike it enough to delete it, you can download free apps better than iphoto. I've tried both preview and quick look but don't like them at all. If I select an image it always opens in 'preview' but the 'previous/next icons are always blacked out? Why?
If I use 'quick look' I can move forward/back using the keyboard but it never opens full screen, it always opens to the 'fit screen size' and then really irritatingly jumps about in size all over the place depending on the next image size. It's ok if I drag it to full screen, after which it acts pretty much like windows viewer except there are no options to open an image in an editing app, view at 100%, enlarge, flip left/right etc.
In short it's a poor viewer, I guess that's why it's called quick view uh? Is there some amazing mac facility that I'm missing here. I could just about live with 'quick look' if it always opened full screen but can't see any way to do this.

Preview IS the Apple version of Windows Viewer and its more powerful opening PDF, editing , JPEG, TIFF and other formats.it will even do audio !
Oh and clearly you don't get iPhoto it is a viewer light editor and photo image database. Again far more powerful than Windows Viewer.
Infact its data storage is based on industry standard Aperture.
Quick view is effectively a built in PDF/inline viewer tool within the finder than allows just about any document to be viewed irrespective of format.Probably nearest to what Windows Viewer actually does
It has no editing tools and that not its function.
To open it full screen you hold the ALT key whilst clicking the document in finder
You DO have the opton to open in a specific app at the top of a Quickview window by default it usually says Open Preview however just right click and a list of all potential applications are then listed. You then choose the one you want.
When you select an image from the finder to open in Preview that's exactly what it does- Opens that specific image. IT does NOT load the entire folder because its a separate application - NOT part of finder !
Again you need to work through iPhoto its really has more going for it than you think and no there really aren't better FREE apps out there.
Oh and why the need for full screen viewing - THAT really is a windows hang out. MAC OS is designed such that windows open to the maximum size to display content rather than a locked full screen model by default.
That said if you look in to top right of the window bars click those two divergent arrows you go full screen.
Sorry to say you really have to change your work flow else you may just have to go back to Windows .
As for alternative image viewer depends how much you want to spend and from the sounds of it nothing !

How to apply animations to ALL slides in Powerpoint 2011 for Mac

Hi - apologies for category of this posting as it applies to software, not the MBP exclusively. Could not find better location...?
I have powerpoint presentations that are from Powerpoint for Mac 2000 or something - recently upgraded to 2011, but my animations seem to have disappeared. Is there a way to apply animations to ALL slides in a presentation rather than doing each slide individually? I've searched online but have not found instructions that work for PPT2011 for Mac...
Thank you!

Interesting: I tried switching to a workspace where it's docked by default (Book), and it was properly docked (so it's definitely possible on my version/OS). I dragged it out so it started floating, and then couldn't put it back. (while docked, it does fix the F3 bug as expected)
Also, one funny thing that is happening is, about a quarter of the time I drag it into a place where I'd expect it to dock, the cursor turns into the Mac crashing beachball until I move it away again.
I guess this probably a sign something's corrupted. Will try deleting the preferences file when I've got some free time to set things back up again.
Another sign that something is probably corrupted: Ticking and unticking "Enable floating document window docking" makes no difference to anything. Ticked or unticked, I can still dock and undock all windows except the Tools palette.
Thanks

.dat Viewer for Mac

Hello, I'm a totally new for Mac and I have a silly question.
Is there a software that allow me to view .dat file in Mac?
Please help me out.
Thank you

Actually, I must disagree with Peggy, not all .dat files are Windows files. In fact, if you often use Spotlight, you may find .dat files all over your mac embedded within many applications(found over 40 on mine alone). For instance, WritersCafe uses .dat files to contain an entire project's data.
Consequently, AppleWorks uses .dat files as well for things such as spreadsheets.
DAT files are data files and are not absolutely Microsoft.
My question to you would be, What is the .dat file supposed to be? Is it a winmail.dat which you received randomly in an email? If it is, disregard it as most winmail.dat files are from people using Microsoft Outlook and the file is only for formatting in the email message. If you arent using Outlook, the email message will never look the way it was formatted so just disregard it.
If the file is from Appleworks and you dont have it, have the person you received the file from, export the file to something readable like .csv (comma separated values)and then import it into another program such as Excel!
On the other hand, if you are trying to read the file in Appleworks and the .dat file was created for another program, you may have a problem with formatting. You really need to find out what program created the .dat file and let us know here so we may be able to help further.

Serious problem with Powerpoint 2011 for MAC

Hi, if anyone can help. We are a team of designers who work on Apple Macs, we use Powerpoint but have serious issues with the decks. When we move the deck window around the screen, it fragments the screen, leaving us unable to do anything else. Once this
happens, we have to re-start our Mac each time, this becomes very time consuming. Thanks.

I have a problem with Powerpoint 2011 for Mac. I began preparing a presentation and everything was working just fine. At some point I switched away from presenter view and then back at which point the next slide had disappeared, never to be seen again.

Did I inadvertently hit some key that blocked out the preview slide? If so, what do I do to get it back? My presentation is on Thursday so I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.

Exporting Newsletter (PDF) and viewing for Mac and PC Users?

Hi,
I am trying to create a monthly newsletter for my business that can be sent on mass to various clients. Using pages, I save it as a PDF and when sent to MAC mail users, it appears in their inbox as a full 'page newsletter'.
PC users just get a pdf attatchment and no full page/email newsletter.
Being new to this and guessing its a cross platform issue, is there a way to make the newsletter appear in full in either 'inbox' or do I hav to go down the htm route?
Thanks:)
Mike

I second Sagesse.
As far as I know, there is no problem with the PDF you are creating. Rather, the email client that a person uses to view your email.
Mail.app on the Mac, for instance, shows images, PDFs, and other media inline with the rest of the message. Other clients, particularly web-based ones, often show media separate from the message as an attachment.
Most companies and groups that send out newsletters via email do so with HTML and CSS, the same language as a normal web page. Pages no longer has the capability to export to HTML, but even if it did, the resulting files/code would likely look *a lot* different than you intended, due to the nature of a print document versus that of a web page.
