Keynote 08 to Powerpoint 08
Posted on May 6th, 2008
The latest version of Keynote exports files in Powerpoint format that the latest version of Popwerpoint can’t read. Charming.
A discussion board pointed out, however, that if you strip out all the presenter notes from your Keynote file, the exported Keynote file will indeed open in Powerpoint. I tried it on one small file, and it worked.
Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to strip out all those notes. And I haven’t seen anything from Keynote about an update.

How…. cute.
In a pinch you could export to pdf then view in full screen mode for the actual presentation (Preview on the mac supports this, I think, and I’m sure Acrobat Reader on Windows does as well)
I have been running into this as well. I have been looking for scripts to automate this. But, it is looking like I have done my last required powerpoint for a while (video presenations do not work with Keynote yet).
