We’ve redesigned Pages, Numbers, and Keynote to work even better with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Now, more features are supported, including commenting, conditional formatting, and bubble charts. And each update adds greater compatibility. It’s never been easier to take a Microsoft Office document from your Mac or PC and import it into Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. So you can keep the workflow flowing.
Because the app runs alongside PowerPoint and Keynote, there is no real difference between using it with either software. You have the freedom to choose which slideware application you wish to use. You need to use Microsoft PowerPoint 2011 or higher for Mac, or Keynote 5.3, 6.5 or higher (Note: Keynote 6.2 is not supported). The question of which is best depends on which platform you are on in most cases. Keynote is best, in general for Apple/iOS users and PowerPoint is best for desktop and Windows users. However, Apple loyalists can tap into the power of PowerPoint as well by downloading the app or investing in the full program. Open it with either PowerPoint or Keynote. All your polls will appear as placeholder slides, like this one: The new Mac app positions polls perfectly in the slide. Keynote is a presentation software application developed as a part of the iWork productivity suite by Apple Inc. Version 10 of Keynote for Mac, the latest major update, was released in March 2020. On January 27, 2010, Apple announced a new version of Keynote for iPad with an all-new touch interface. On your Mac, open PowerPoint and browse to the PPTX or PPT file. Then, click on Open to launch into Keynote. Choose File Open in Keynote and browse to your PPTX file to start converting it. Now, you'll see the presentation in Keynote.
