Patrik Svatoš As users of Apple products, you must have come across the iWork package. But today we will not deal with the entire office suite, but only a part of it – the tool for creating Keynote presentations. This is often the reason for more than one embarrassing moment during the presentation itself...
If you use Keynote regularly and transfer presentations created in this application to Windows computers, you have surely encountered more than one problem. I can assure you that even the Microsoft Office package for Mac is not 100% compatible with the same package for Windows. Keynote is no exception, so you'll often encounter scattered text, shifted images, and god knows what else you might encounter.
Not every option we mention is suitable for everyone. All you have to do is run into a teacher who insists that you submit a presentation in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, and there is a problem. Nevertheless, we will outline several scenarios to get around the poor compatibility of Keynote and PowerPoint.
Run presentations from your own Mac
One of the most ideal options is to run presentations from your own Mac. However, this scenario is not always possible, either because you are simply not allowed to connect external devices to the network, or it is not possible to connect the MacBook to the data projector. However, if possible, just plug in the cable, launch Keynote, and you're presenting one poem. Including all essentials.
Present with Apple TV
Another option to bypass the need to convert presentations from Keynote to other formats. However, using Apple TV is again only possible under favorable conditions, when you can connect your Apple TV to the data projector. Then you have the advantage that the MacBook is not connected by any cable and therefore you have a larger field of action.
Need to check or reach for PowerPoint
If you have no other option but to submit or present the work in PowerPoint, it is ideal to check everything in PowerPoint on Windows after a few steps. After a few steps, convert your presentation from Keynote and open it in Windows. For example, PowerPoint does not support all the fonts that Keynote uses, or there are often scattered images and other objects.
However, a much less painful way at that point is to use straight PowerPoint, either its Windows or Mac version. If you create directly in PowerPoint, you don't have to worry about any incompatible fonts, poorly inserted images or broken animations. You have everything as you need.
Keynote in iCloud and PDF
However, if you refuse to use PowerPoint for various reasons, there are two more options for creating in Keynote and then presenting it relatively easily. The first is called Keynote in iCloud. The iWork package has also moved to iCloud, where we can not only play files from Pages, Numbers and Keynote, but even create them there. All you need on site is a computer with an internet connection, log in to iCloud, start Keynote and present.
The second option to avoid PowerPoint is called PDF. Perhaps one of the most popular and tried-and-true Keynote vs. PowerPoint solutions. You simply take your Keynote presentation and convert it to PDF. Everything will remain as it is, with the difference that there will be no animations in the PDF. However, if you don't need animation in your presentation, you win with PDF because you can open this type of file on any computer.
In conclusion…
Before each presentation, you need to realize for what purpose and why you are creating it. Not every solution can be used on every occasion. If your task is just to come, give a presentation and leave again, you can choose any method, however, it is important to make the right arrangements, especially when you have to hand over the presentation. At that point, in the vast majority of cases, the format for PowerPoint will be required of you. At that moment it is sometimes best to sit down with Windows (even if only virtualized) and create. Of course, the Mac versions of PowerPoint can also be used.
Do you have any other tips for dealing with hostile Keynote and PowerPoint behavior?
Does anyone know how to create presentations in a keynote such that everything is on one surface and between the "slides" it is only zoomed to a certain part and then left... I hope you know what I mean...
By using a suitable cable, it is also possible to present from an iPad.
Or from an iPhone. with the iPad, however, I encountered the fact that on a monitor capable of 1600 x 1200 it only gives a basic VGA image and there is no way to set a higher resolution (it was on iOS 6, maybe the seven has other options?)
It's not just the fonts that are the problem. For example, Keynote can move the viewport around a large image, which Powerpoint can't. Another option is to export your presentation from Keynote to Quick Time video. When playing Quicktime for Windows, it can wait for a keystroke.
The solution to this problem is Prezi.
there is a prezi application on iOS, otherwise prezi works there too
Player only as far as I know. So you can't create without Adobe Flash, that's probably what the winemaker in question was asking.
in the ipad application you can normally create PRESENTATIONS, it's not that great, but it feels like an emergency
