Actually, I'm impressed! Keynote did beautifully! with the file. It took
me a bit to get the hang of how to navigate the application, but once I got
the hang of it, it was quite a breeze. Now, having said that, for one, the
lady was mistaking. there was no transitioning nor audio/video, so I have
no idea how Keynote would a handled that with VO. Speaking of Keynote, by
the way, as longas where on that subject, I thought Keynote was a database
program, not a presentation app. so, what then do you all recommend for a
good database app that isn't real powerful. I don't want an MS Accewss for
the Mac, if you will. I just need something real down dirty sweet and
simple/non powerful. Just something for incredibly basic functionality.
Chris.

Hi Chris,
you can try the PowerPoint Viewer if you have a Windows installation. It is
free and can be downloaded from the MS website. Keynote works also but has
the compatibility problem as Zack has already mentioned. I think there's the
same problem with Open Office/Libre Office.
Greetings, Pierre

Hi Chris,
I do believe Keynote will open .ppt files. Whether its support is good
enough to handle all the advanced features your slideshow apparently has I
don't know. This is yet another example of the assumption most businesses
seem to still have that Microsoft software in one form or another is close
at hand.
Best,
Zack.

Guys, I do not own Microsoft Office for Windows, and as you all know,
it's not accessible on the Mac.
I have a job interview this Monday, however one of the requirements prior
to the interview is to review a power point presentation. I definitely
have the file on my drive, and admittedly, haven't tried openning it, but
it's just a standard .ppt file. I've been told however that it's not
exactly a simple little slide show, it has auto slide transitioning,
background audio naration, basically the whole 9 yards. They did say as
a very last resort, they could have someone go through the presentation
with me in person before or during my interview, but it's way more
prefered that I view it ahead of time. I do have the latest version of
IWorks, but to the best of my understanding nothing'll open a power point
file that is including in that bundle of apps. So, I have been told
Preview will open it within some reason. So, what's the best thing you
all recommend, and can you all give me a little hand, how to navigate
through this? Yes the file is copy written, but it's freely available
for absolutely anyone, whehter applying or not to freely at will download
and view. So I'd be happy off list thus fore, to send this file to
anyone who would like it to see if they can get it to work to then better
assist me with navigating it. But! generally speaking, what's the best
way to go about doing this?
Chris.
