Maybe I was mistaking but by the looks of this thread, I thought it was set
that Bento was a program Apple suggested for doing PowerPoint stuff. As for
how I know it didn't have the other features, the company who is
interviewing me, verified that the rep over the phone I spoke with was
mistaking on it having them.

Hi Chris,
Umm, how will Bento, a database app, help you with powerpoint presentations?
I'm glad to know your particular presentation worked well. I hate to be the
devil's advocate here, but are you sure there were none of those advanced
features in the presentation? If Keynote wasn't able to handle them, it
might not have mentioned them.
Best,
Zack.

Huh! I'll have to look into that. For what it's worth, Keynote did the
trick, but, if I'm gonna get more into power point down the road, which at
this point, I'm unsure, I'll certainly consider looking at this app you
mention.

Seems Bento is the one Apple pushes. I've never gotten a chance to play
with it though. I've seen screenshots, and it looks really user friendly.
You might could get a demo of it in an Apple Store.

Actually, I'm impressed! Keynote did beautifully! with the file. It
took me a bit to get the hang of how to navigate the application, but
once I got the hang of it, it was quite a breeze. Now, having said that,
for one, the lady was mistaking. there was no transitioning nor
audio/video, so I have no idea how Keynote would a handled that with VO.
Speaking of Keynote, by the way, as longas where on that subject, I
thought Keynote was a database program, not a presentation app. so, what
then do you all recommend for a good database app that isn't real
powerful. I don't want an MS Accewss for the Mac, if you will. I just
need something real down dirty sweet and simple/non powerful. Just
something for incredibly basic functionality.

Hi Chris,
you can try the PowerPoint Viewer if you have a Windows installation. It
is free and can be downloaded from the MS website. Keynote works also but
has the compatibility problem as Zack has already mentioned. I think
there's the same problem with Open Office/Libre Office.
Greetings, Pierre

Hi Chris,
I do believe Keynote will open .ppt files. Whether its support is good
enough to handle all the advanced features your slideshow apparently has
I don't know. This is yet another example of the assumption most
businesses seem to still have that Microsoft software in one form or
another is close at hand.
Best,
Zack.

Guys, I do not own Microsoft Office for Windows, and as you all know,
it's not accessible on the Mac.
I have a job interview this Monday, however one of the requirements
prior to the interview is to review a power point presentation. I
definitely have the file on my drive, and admittedly, haven't tried
openning it, but it's just a standard .ppt file. I've been told
however that it's not exactly a simple little slide show, it has auto
slide transitioning, background audio naration, basically the whole 9
yards. They did say as a very last resort, they could have someone go
through the presentation with me in person before or during my
interview, but it's way more prefered that I view it ahead of time. I
do have the latest version of IWorks, but to the best of my
understanding nothing'll open a power point file that is including in
that bundle of apps. So, I have been told Preview will open it within
some reason. So, what's the best thing you all recommend, and can you
all give me a little hand, how to navigate through this? Yes the file
is copy written, but it's freely available for absolutely anyone,
whehter applying or not to freely at will download and view. So I'd be
happy off list thus fore, to send this file to anyone who would like it
to see if they can get it to work to then better assist me with
navigating it. But! generally speaking, what's the best way to go
about doing this?
Chris.
