Apple power point

[Guest]

We have a new apple at work with microsoft powerpoint on it ... we want to
show presentations that were designed in microsoft power point (windows) ...
we thought All we would have to do is insert the disc with the ppt file ...
are we missing something?

thanks Bryan

Bryan,

PCs cannot create AutoStart-CDs for Mac. Search for a file named
filename.PPT or filename.PPS and start it manually.

Kind regards,
Ute

What Ute said. Only in some cases even doubleclicking on the file.PPT or
file.PPS file won't start the show. In that case, start PowerPoint first, then
use File, Open to open the file from the CD.
