Glenn, Here is a possible suggestion, that I heard someone else say about their PowerPoint presentatoion. This person was at a meeting to give a presentation, which for some reason wouldn't open with the convention computer and PPT application software. He supposedly was able to open his presentation file with Keynote, he claimed, and with minor formating problems was able to give his talk. This is strictly heresay information, but someone else said they had heard that also. That is the sum total of my knowledge of the subject since I have never used either application personally. I hope it is correct and helpful. Don
