Hi, So you have two options for doing slides etc with the Mac:
You can use keynote - the Mac presenter application - I find it fairly easy to use and you can create slides and save the presentation fairly easily. The slide formatter area allows you to add slide transitions as well. Keynote also as the functionality to save as a ppt file just in case you are presenting using a different computer. If you have office on your Mac then ppt is also very accessible and creating slides is usually straight forward. For both options you can either use a template presentation or create your won - the advantage of the templates is that they position the text on the slide where it needs to be etc. I do however, still find that I get someone with vision to check over the presentation just to make sure it looks ok etc But using both keynote or ppt I am able to add images, text graphs to slides - I can also add hyperlinks to video if I want to use that. One thing - and I need to check keynote again - ppt allows you to add a sound as part of the slide transition which is really useful when presenting with no vision as it lets you know the slide has changed. You can do this in keynote but it used to be more complicated - I will take a look to see if this has changed. If you need any more specific information this is just quite general get back to me and I can see if I can help > On 28 Oct 2022, at 13:58, Lucas Gil Nadolskis <nadols...@cmu.edu> wrote: > > Hello all. > I will need to give a talk in couple of weeks where I will be required to use > slides. > > I have never done such a thing using macOS, so I would be interested to hear > people’s experience with both creating the slides and presenting them. > > Thank you very much. > > Kind regards. > > Lucas Nadolskis. > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries > list. > > If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if > you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or > moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. > > Your Mac Visionaries list moderator is Mark Taylor.
