If you want to send your presentation to someone but they do not have PowerPoint
for Mac or PowerPoint
for Windows, you can export your presentation in a different format so that the recipient can view the slides.
Do any of the following:
 | Export your slides as pictures |
You can save one or more slides as pictures so that the recipient can view the slides in any application or device that works with pictures. Just make sure that you choose a picture format that the application or device can open.
 | Note When your slides are converted to picture files, any transitions, animations, movies, or audio are removed from the presentation. |
-
On the File menu, click Save as Pictures.
-
In the Save As box, type a new name for the folder to contain the converted files.
-
On the Format pop-up menu, select the picture format that you want.
For example, click JPEG.
 | Tip To set additional options such as image height and width, or choose to save only the current slide instead of all slides, click Options, and then under Save slides as graphic files, choose the options that you want. |
-
Click Save.
After you save your slides as pictures, you can share them just as you would any other picture file, by using applications or devices that can open pictures.
| Send your slides to iPhoto |
Sending your slides to iPhoto
is similar to exporting your slides as pictures, with the added advantage of being able to easily transfer the pictures to any device or application that connects to iTunes. When you send your slides to iPhoto, each slide is converted to a picture. This removes any transitions, animations, or audio and causes movies to be represented as a single frame in the presentation.
| Note To complete this procedure, you must have iPhoto
6 or a later version installed. |
-
On the File menu, point to Share, and then click Send to iPhoto.
-
In the New Album Name box, type a name for your collection of photos.
-
On the Format pop-up menu, select the picture format that you want.
-
Do one of the following:
To | Do this |
|---|
Send all slides | Under Slides, click All. |
Send selected thumbnail or sorted slides | Under Slides, click Selected. |
-
To save the slides as pictures, click Send to iPhoto.
| Save your presentation as a PDF file |
When you save a presentation as a PDF file, any transitions, animations, or audio are removed and movies are represented as a single frame in the presentation.
-
On the File menu, click Save As.
-
In the Save As box, type a new name for the folder to contain the converted files.
-
On the Format pop-up menu, click PDF.
-
Click Save.
