Tips on Working with Keynote to Create PowerPoint Presentations

2013-05-23 Thread Harry Hogue
Hello,

I need to use Keynote to create a basic PPT presentation on 10-15 slides.  Is 
it able to be used with VoiceOver and then saved as a PPT format while 
retaining the original formatting, etc?

Thanks,

Harry

Hi,

Short answer is yes.  As long as you don't use fancy media or other 
transitions that PPT cannot deal with, you should be fine.  Just make sure to 
save it as a PowerPoint document after you're done.  Actually, I usually save 
it as both so I can more easily get at the original Keynote presentation if I 
need to make changes and such.

Later..

Check it first, though. My sister made a Powerpoint presentation on a Mac and 
saved it as a .ppt file, but when she opened it on Windows, her main graphic 
was upside down. So yes, it should mostly work, but run through it once on 
Windows to be sure everything came out correctly.

You can also save the presentation as a PDF. I forget the name of the PC open 
source program that plays PDFs as slide shows. I think it's Skim, like the Mac 
one, but someone can correct me.

I ended up having to do this for a presentation where my display adapter 
wouldn't work with the PC system, so I exported as a PDF and had to use basic 
transitions.

Let us know how it goes.

2013-05-23 Thread Harry Hogue
I've never made a PowerPoint presentation, either in Windows or on the mac.  Is 
there anything I should know as far as how I write it?  Since it does bullet 
points, I guess it does them automatically in the body text area, but do I need 
to be careful how much text I put on each line, etc?

Thanks for any tips.

Harry
