A file format for saving Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and Excel 2013 files so that they can be opened in spreadsheet applications that use the OpenDocument Spreadsheet format, such as Google Docs and OpenOffice.org Calc. Users can also open spreadsheets in the.ods format in Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and Excel 2013. To avoid missing and incompatible image files, follow cross-platform best practices when you use these assets in Mac PowerPoint presentations that you send to Windows users. Like the WMF format once popular under Windows, the Mac-specific PICT format can contain either vector or bitmapped resources.

The user can solve this problem by either using the original PowerPoint file which has all the content, or by using the iSkysoft PDF Creator program. The direct conversion of PowerPoint files to PDF on MS PowerPoint may alter the format of the document.

Or, it might be that the designer hired to create a presentation or template might use a Mac, whereas the presenter uses a Windows computer, or vice versa. Regardless, the differences between the Windows and Mac versions of PowerPoint have been giving presenters a fair share of problems. Whatever your requirement for cross platform compatibility may be, let us first share some good news with you: the file formats for PowerPoint files are the same on computers using Windows and macOS.

For years in my department we have been supplied with PowerPoint line drawings to put into our Indesign Executive Summarys etc and have had to redraw them as the quality is poor when copied across. Does anyone know if there is a plugin of some form that can actually convert these line drawings into vector for us so that we don't have to redraw them? I did find a thread that suggested doing 'print to file' from PowerPoint and saving the slides as Post Script files. I have only managed to get this to 'kind of' work with a couple of slides, the coloured boxes come across fine but the text comes across rotated at a 90 degree angel.

Once the upload is complete, you’ll be able to open and edit the document, from inside your iCloud account. If at any point you want to share this document, click the little ‘Collaborate on this document with others’ icon in the toolbar and choose whether you want to share the link via email, or use copy/paste to share it with the recipient yourself. The drawback is that this document is only accessible online, as a Pages for iCloud document. If you’d prefer to download a copy as a Microsoft Word document, then select ‘View Pages tools > Download a Copy > Word’ from the menu bar. Using Google Docs If you have a Google account, then you can upload Microsoft Word documents to your Google Drive account, where you can access, edit and share them as a Google Doc. • Head over to your account. • Click the big blue ‘New’ button, followed by ‘File Upload.’ • Select the file that you want to open.

When it’s time to share this spreadsheet, click the ‘Collaborate on this spreadsheet with others’ icon in the iCloud toolbar.

My more careful and considered suggestion: If you have the time, then use a dedicated vector graphics editor to recreate a graphics that look like those in the PowerPoint files. Talk about the wrong tool for the job! PowerPoint is a tool for producing crappy presentations, not vector graphics. That said, graphics created in PowerPoint are vector graphics. Certainly, line drawings are vector graphics. My quick & dirty suggestion: If the graphics are in a PowerPoint file, then print the file to PDF. Place the PDF in the Indesign layout.

EPS files no longer work on most PowerPoint versions for security reasons. • The Mac versions of PowerPoint come with special photo effects that were originally part of Microsoft's disbanded PhotoDraw program on the Windows side. Regardless, any Mac presentation file that contains images with these effects can be moved to any version of PowerPoint for Windows and all the special effects will remain intact. The only caveat is that you cannot apply these effects to images once the presentation has been moved into a Windows version of PowerPoint. Everything else • Most embedded objects in PowerPoint presentations created on Windows do not translate well within a Mac version of PowerPoint. For instance, if an embedded Word document or Excel spreadsheet has accentuated characters, these may not appear in a cross-platform presentation. Rather than embedding these files (Word, Excel, PDF, etc.), use hyperlinks to link them to the presentation file.

Tap Done to open the presentation in Keynote. • Open the Keynote presentation that you want to convert. • Choose File > Export To, then select the format.

• Select PowerPoint from the resulting menu ( Figure A). • Confirm the PowerPoint option is selected within the Export Your Presentation window. • Click the Advanced Options selection to expand the menu and reveal the Format drop-down box if you wish to save the Keynote file as a.ppt file (typically used by Microsoft PowerPoint 1997 to 2003 versions), but know that, by default, Keynote will convert the presentation to the current standard.pptx file format. • Click the Next button. • Specify the filename within the Save As field. • Ensure the proper file export location is selected (navigate to the correct directory if you wish to change the location where the new PowerPoint presentation should be stored), and then click the Export button. Note: The Hide Extension check box is selected by default; if you wish to save the filename with the.pptx extension, clear that check box before exporting the presentation ( Figure B).

As discussed earlier, PowerPoint 2016 for Mac no longer has this problem because it uses the M4A file format, also known as MPEG 4 Audio. Moreover, PowerPoint 2016 for Mac embeds media files rather than linking them—the difference is explained in the next point. • If you need to move a sound file recorded in PowerPoint for Mac to a Windows computer, embed the audio file as part of the presentation.

This new Office-wide feature is called Compatibility Report, and can be accessed easily from PowerPoint from the Tools menu. If you create on Mac, then move to PC • Don't use overly long filenames for your files and avoid punctuation characters other than dashes ( - ) and underscores ( _ ). Avoid spaces too. Use underscores instead of spaces or use CamelCasingToDistinguishWords. Upper/lower case doesn't matter to Mac or PC, though you'll want to be aware of it if you do much work in Terminal on the Mac, where it can make a difference.

It will give you a handy little folder with both the powerpoint and the media file. In this option the power point automatically saves as pptx, however. So, open it, save it as older version. Presto problem solves.

I don't know about the ones for the Mac - I find them rather obscure. I have a friend who used keynote, and that didn't play in windows either. She had to redo the whole thing on the windows pc.

• Speaking of OpenType fonts, some of them, particularly from Adobe's Pro font collection, will show without problems in both PowerPoint for Windows and PowerPoint for Mac. However, these OpenType fonts don't always work within older versions of PowerPoint on the Mac, such as 2004 or 2008. • Don’t space your text too tightly. Font rendering differences may add an extra line to a text box on either Windows or Mac versions of PowerPoint. Pictures and graphics • On the Mac, avoid using PICT graphics, since those are not compatible with Windows versions. On both operating systems, the GIF, PNG, and JPG image formats work best. For illustrations, use WMF or EMF files.

• Check Format, Replace Fonts to see what fonts are used in your presentation. You can safely count on Arial, Times New Roman, Courier and Symbol being present on every PC. Tahoma and Verdana will be there on any PC with Office 97 or later, but may not be there if the PC has only the free PowerPoint Viewer. Remember, Mac versions of PowerPoint can't embed fonts or use embedded fonts. • Use only RGB color for your PowerPoint graphics. PowerPoint will convert CMYK or Pantone colors to RGB anyway. It's better to do it yourself so you can control the conversion.

This is mainly about PC/Mac issues, so we won't take PowerPoint version differences into account here other than this general set of rules: We'll ignore versions of PowerPoint prior to 98 (Mac) and 97 (Windows). • PowerPoint 97 (Windows) is very much like PowerPoint 98 (Mac). • PowerPoint 2000 (Windows) has no equivalent on Mac, but it only added a few new features to PowerPoint 97. For all practical purposes, you can consider PowerPoint 97 and 2000 (Windows) and PowerPoint 98 (Mac) pretty much the same. • PowerPoint 2002 (Windows) and PowerPoint 2001 (Mac) both added multiple masters and a lot of other new features and bring the Mac and PC versions into rough equivalence again.
