What Is Powerpoint? And is it the same as Keynote?

Valerie

I have to do a PowerPoint in school, and I was wondering what is a PowerPoint? and would that be considered the same thing as keynote?
I tried downloading Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 but it tells me I gotta enter a product key. I am young so I don't have money to buy one, what should i do?

Answer
Hello Friend, PowerPoint is the name of a proprietary commercial presentation program developed by Microsoft. It was officially launched on May 22, 1990, as a part of the Microsoft Office suite, and runs on Microsoft Windows and Apple's Mac OS X operating system.PowerPoint presentations consist of a number of individual pages or "slides". The "slide" analogy is a reference to the slide projector. A better analogy would be the "foils" (or transparencies/plastic sheets) that are shown with an overhead projector, although they are in decline now. Slides may contain text, graphics, sound, movies, and other objects, which may be arranged freely. The presentation can be printed, displayed live on a computer, or navigated through at the command of the presenter. For larger audiences the computer display is often projected using a video projector. Slides can also form the basis of webcasts.
PowerPoint is an alternative to keynote.The basic theme designs offered by Keynote are without competitionâgenius in design and simply gorgeous with 44 standard themes. They are minimalist and cool, so Keynote won the contest both graphically and functionally. Of course, there are several free PowerPoint and Keynote templates for download online, so you wonât run out of choices when it comes to presentation templates.

Should I get Keynote?

Anonymous

I currently own an iPad and a Mac. I'm contemplating buying Keynote for both. I'm certain that switching presentations between my iPad and Mac will be flawless and easy but my university, which I will need to make power points for, only has PCs hooked up to projectors. My question is, if I export a Keynote presentation (or whatever it's called) to powerpoint, can I expect formatting to be consistent? Is this feasible? I know from past experiences with OpenOffice that exporting to PowerPoint was always a pain in the ass cause the formatting was always messed up and the transitions didn't cross over. Should I expect the same from Keynote cause if that's the case, I won't get it. I'm wondering if there's a read-only format I can export to that will work just as fine on a PC as a Mac. Is there one? The most thoughtful answer (which answers BOTH of my questions) gets 10 pts.

Answer
You can expect formatting issues immediately. Only Microsoft products come with the default fonts used in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, so all other applications have to substitute fonts. Therefore, things will always look different unless you're careful to specify cross-platform fonts.

The open file format for presentations was set by an international standards body more than 8 years ago, but each program offers various levels of support. Microsoft fully supports open formats. Keynote can open files saved in standard format but can not save in standard format.

Just the same, you'll need Keynote for your iPad because there's no Microsoft PowerPoint for iPad (Sept 2011). So you're kinda stuck with Keynote as the intermediary. Make your presentations in Keynote so they play on your Mac and iPad. Export them to PowerPoint 97 format from Keynote for the rest of the world. To take advantage of PowerPoint's features, these exported files can be saved in PowerPoint format in PowerPoint before sharing with everyone.

problem connecting macbook aluminum to projector?

Ms.Justice

I connected my mac to a projector and I opened my Keynote presentation. I put the slideshow on but the projector is projecting the two little boxes with my keynote presentation slides. one is the present slide and the other box if what the next slide is going to be??? what do I do to make the projector project a fullscreen slideshow of my keynote presentation.

Answer
Click on the Help menu in Keynote and type PROJECTOR into the search field. You'll see several choices, including the text that I've pasted below.

Your issue seems to be a "mirroring" vs. "dual display" issue.

Viewing a Presentation on an External Display or Projector

Seeing your slideshow and presenter information (notes and a clock, for example) on one screen, while viewers see only the slideshow on a different screen, is called a dual display configuration.
You canât use a dual display configuration on some notebook computers; you have to play the identical slideshow on both screens (called video mirroring). If you have less than 32 MB of video random access memory (VRAM) on your computer, you may have to use video mirroring to display your slideshow on an external projector. See Configuring Video Random Access Memory (VRAM) and Tips for Using an External Display for more information.
To view a presentation using dual displays:

Connect the second display or projector according to the instructions that came with the display or projector and the instructions that came with your computer.
See Tips for Using an External Display for some setup recommendations.

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Displays.
>>> make sure "Show displays in menu bar" is checked = very handy!!
Click Arrange and follow the onscreen instructions.
If there is no Arrange button, your computer detects only one display.

Make sure Mirror Displays is not selected.
Choose Keynote > Preferences and then click Slideshow.
Select âPresent on primary displayâ or âPresent on secondary display.â
The primary display is the one with the menu bar. If you choose âPresent on secondary display,â you can customize what the presenter sees on the primary display. See Customizing the Presenterâs View.

Click Play in the toolbar.
Advance through the presentation by clicking the mouse or pressing the Space bar. See Controlling a Presentation with the Keyboard for other options.

How to get a Keynote presentation from an iPad play on a PC?

ryan

I have a Keynote presentation on my iPad mini and I need to get it to play on my PC so it can be shown through a projector. Or is there a way to connect the iPad to a projector that does not require the purchase of a $40 adapter or require an internet connection as I will not have WiFi so everything will need to be offline during the presentation. Please help! Thank you!

Answer
In Keynote, export the file as Microsoft PowerPoint file format.

Then, upload that file to SkyDrive (free). The presentation will then play in SkyDrive on any Mac, PC, or even in LINUX.

I have an Epson powerlite s6 projector. Will it work with my Mac Book Pro?

Mr. Atoz

I want to give a presentation with Keynote on my Mac Book Pro.

I also have an Epson powerlite s6 projector.

Will they work together?

I don't have them both here with me so I can't know for sure.

Answer
I have given presentations on a Mac with fifty different projectors in the past six years. There is no projector that is a "No-Macs" projector. Almost all projectors are "old technology" VGA connection, because most PC makers are too cheap to change to modern Mini DisplayPort. You will need an adapter and a VGA cable (probably M-M). Most schools and hotels have VGA cables for this, but I travel with both M-M and M-F cables as a belt-and-suspenders approach.

If you are going to a remote location, ask if their sound system is working. I estimate 20% of systems I have needed to use had out-of-order sound on their consoles, so I also travel with a pair of small speakers to connect directly to the computer. A desperation solution is to hold the mic near the computer's speaker.

Now here is where I jump on your case for not telling what you have. The early MacBook Pro had DVI out. All recent ones have Mini DisplayPort out, because it can send video and sound out one port. Tell what you have, and I'll tell what adapter you need.

If you want to use "Mirroring", set the resolution to "1024 x 768 (stretched)", because almost all projectors are old nearly-square aspect ratio. You should also create your presentation in this old-school aspect ratio. Yeah, that's right-- nothing much is up-to-date in PC-land.

Sometimes the projector does not respond to the connection, so you will arrive ten minutes early to try it. The most reliable approach is to turn on the computer first, connect all cables, and after the system is fully loaded, turn on the projector, and if you are connecting through a console, immediately check that the switch is set to "laptop" and not to an under-desk tower. If you have a console with such a switching setup, any delay in switching may get the projector to respond to the tower connection,and that may lead it to fail to recognize the MacBook Pro. If that happens, turn the projector off, wait three minutes for the lamp protection timer, and turn it back on. Occasionally even that isn't enough, so always have the System Preferences set to "Show Displays in menu bar", and you will then click the displays icon to choose "Detect Displays".

On rare occasions, you may find a projector will not notice your OS X-generated signal at all, even after restarting both projector and computer. The quickest fix is to boot to Windows, all is well, and then reboot in OS X, all is well. That's the main reason I have Windows installed in Boot Camp. VM Windows won't help for this. In all my university classrooms, there is a Windows box under the console, so I don't need the Boot Camp setup. I just turn on the tower, make the connection to the projector, and then press the button to switch to "laptop".

Questions about overhead projectors?

d

I am looking to purchase an overhead projector but don't know too much about them. It would be for a classroom setting. Wanting one that's top of the line. 1080p resolution with hdmi ports. LCD display. I am wondering if any overhead projectors can run wireless. I want the projector to show a duplicate image of my ipad's screen and want to move around the class without wires. Mostly running keynote presentations. Is this possible?

Yes, this is possible. For more information visit the following link:
