Supported file formats drmacintosh 28.09.2006 05:41:02 I would like to know whether the format of H.264 &MPEG4 created from Apple's Quicktime Pro v7.x and .FLA & .SWF created from Adobe's Flash 8 Standard & Professional are readable in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 for Windows & Mac PowerPoint 2004 and Mac PowerPoint vX. I also would like to find out whether presentations created from Apple's Keynote are able to be read from PowerPoint for Windows & the Macintosh.

Could you enlighten me how this Active X control is obtained unless it is already something in the program. If already in the program then how does one harness the power of this Active X control. Since the Macintosh version of PPT does not not recognize Active X in the same way as the Windows version or even not at all then what is the solution then.

RE: Supported file formats tohlz 28.09.2006 21:34:01 dmacintosh, if remember correctly, Apple Keynote has an option that allows you to export keynote's presentation into PowerPoint format. Take note though, 3D transitions and soft shadows that you have added in Apple Keynote will not work in PowerPoint. -- Shawn Toh (tohlz) Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP PowerPoint) Site Updated: Sep 01, 2006 3 Cool Add-Ins Reviews http://pptheaven.mvps.org PowerPoint Heaven - The Power to Animate "drmacintosh" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I would like to know whether the format of H.264 &MPEG4 created from Apple's > Quicktime Pro v7.x and .FLA & .SWF created from Adobe's Flash 8 Standard & > Professional are readable in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 for Windows & > Mac PowerPoint 2004 and Mac PowerPoint vX.

Re: Supported file formats BongoBox 29.09.2006 01:44:01 Actually, I'm having problem w/ PowerPoint on a Mac & importing SWF files also. My specific problem is that I get an error that says "This file is not in a recognized movie format." Does the answer like in some Mac-based Active X control?

Sept 17-20, 2006 http://www.pptlive.com > I apologize that I was not very clear with my question. What I am attempting to ask is that are Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 & the BETA version of 2007's for Windows readable in Apple's Keynote & PowerPoint versions for the Macintosh? I also wanted to know whether, .SWF & .FLA files created from Adobe Flash 8 Professional are readable from within PowerPoint on Windows & on the Macintosh versions of PowerPoint for which you have told me in a previous post that only .SWF files are but that .FLA files aren't. I wonder whether what has been said above whether it also holds true for Keynote from Apple.

PowerPoint 2003's files should be readable by Mac PowerPoint; the more current the Mac PPT version, the more completely it'll be able to render the different effects that PPT 2003 is capable of. Unless you save back to 97-2003 format from the 2007 beta, nothing but the beta (and not always even that) will be able to read your files. I've no idea about Keynote. If it claims to be able to read PPT files, it should be able to read files from 2003 but again, not the beta. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
