step one: Identify the PowerPoint in iDisk and select “open in” keynote.
Back in my “iPad, one week on” post I bemoaned the compatibility between Keynote and PowerPoint on the iPad, and specifically the problems I had trying to import a PowerPoint presentation. I am happy to say those issues are a thing of the past and I can now easily achieve this in a few swift clicks.
1. From your Mac or PC upload the presentation (I use .pptx) to your storage cloud. iDisk is perfect, but there are numerous alternatives that devices that Good Reader will connect to.
2. From your iPad located the file and download. In iDisk the .pptx presentation opens in a document viewer.
3. Click on the open icon in the top menu and select Keynote.
4. The PowerPoint will convert and a dialogue will advise on any issues encountered in this process.
5. Job done, you can now edit, present and do great things with your slide deck.
Final step: After some import crunching you get to review any import issues and start presenting.
