Hi Sarah, Exporting to QuickTime is only one of the exporting options under Pages. After you select "Export…" under Keynote's File menu, interact. You'll hear VoiceOver say "Keynote toolbar item palette". The six options you can choose are Quicktime, PPT, PDF, Images, HTML, and iPod. I just tried opening a PowerPoint presentation in Keynote, then going to the File menu on the toolbar, selecting "Export", and choosing "PDF" from the toolbar item palette options. I accepted all the defaults and created a PDF file. Then I opened the PDF file in Skim and read all the slides. If I wanted to run this as a presentation, I could have gone to the View menu for Skim on the menu bar and selected "Presentation Options" (shortcut Command-Control-T), which would let me set up page transitions and synchronization with notes (but I didn't choose to export notes -- just took the defaults). I could enter presentation mode in Skim with Command-Option-P (also in the View menu). On a Mac that supports an infrared remote (not the MacBook Air models, but the MacBook Pro will support this), I can use the remote to advance or control my presentation. Otherwise I use the arrow keys. I'm not sure that I'd want to accept all the default export options now that I've done this -- it's a pain to hear VoiceOver read "Sunday, April 22, 2012" at the bottom of each slide. And I found an actual PowerPoint presentation to try this on -- one that was constructed under PowerPoint and not in Keynote.
HTH.
