Hi Tassos, Juergen, and other Mac users, I know, it's off topic . . . Juergen Bosch wrote:
PDF has a great advantage when you're not presenting on your laptop - it's WYSIWYG - never worry about wrong fonts on the stupid presentation computer. Apple Powerpoint and PC Powerpoint don't use the identical Times font for example - that just screws your presentation. If you use Palatino - for a better reading experience - you can be certain, that what fitted into one line on your Mac will most likely not fit into one line when transferred to a Windows PC using Powerpoint.
another cool feature of Keynote2 is the export to a quicktime movie: the movie has ALL the effects of the Keynote2 presentation preserved, which makes also it a powerful tool for displaying a presentation on non-Macs - try it!
The only reason for keepin Word on a Mac is Endnote :-)
Endnote works also with OpenOffice: copy the reference place holders from Endnote into your writer document, and, at the end, export to rtf format and let Endnote scan your rtf. However, the "cite-while-you-write" is missing, and any changes should be done in the original file, not in the exproted rtf (this is only the very last step). For a detailed instruction, see for instance: http://www.adeptscience.co.uk/kb/article/C862 (I still have to see whether it works well enough in practice. If yes, this would get my last hurdle out of the way to make my Mac MS-free).
Apologies for the definitely off-CCP4 topic lecture, it seemed a good way to kill 5 mins typing it, and I hope people find it useful, I have given the advice in private and seems that most people appreciated it in the past.A.dito Juergen
