>Hi folks! I'm beginning to branch out since getting my macs this year and am designing my first website for a class. I'm using Photoshop (wow! what a learning curve!) and now have to do a PowerPoint presentation on my proposed site. I use Windows XP at work and have just noticed that the PowerPoint in Office x v.Mac seems to have only 1/2 the variety of slide designs that the windows version has. Is this our lot as mac users...fewer options? Trivial point I suppose, but I think I won't be able to work at home on my Dalmatian with the PowerPoint presentation started at work with the "mountain" design (I chose this design for my topic: economic reconstruction in Afghanistan). Has anyone else noticed this? Can I import the options from XP to my v.Mac PowerPoint? I would think "no". The designs in the OS X version of PowerPoint just seem lame in comparison to the Windows version. Maybe I'm missing something here? Thanks, Donald< ----------------------- Donald,
I can't answer your question with certainty, but at least ever since Office 98, Microsoft has been building both the Mac version and the Windows version to have interchangeable document/slide/spreadsheet formats. I haven't yet run into a problem with opening a file created on the Windows version of Office with my Mac Office. Therefore, I don't think you have anything to loose by at least trying to work your slides with your Mac Office. I think you probably could even import that particular template design, but I honestly don't know. Try it and see if the Mac version lets you.
