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.

    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).
