Re: [applekeynote] Reading in Powerpoint

Office 2007 files (with the X addition to the extension) are in an XML format. There used to be a converter put out by MS that would allow you to convert the files to a format that other versions could read.  However, a brief search today did not 

reveal it.  There are a number of converters on the web that might do the trick; however, the ones I saw were for converting word and excel to pdf.

Sorry, no real help here.

I went to a presentation today and the presenter had a new PowerPoint file that our office's Windows version of PowerPoint couldn't open -- version was too old.

I thought I'd show off and import it into Keynote for the presenter, but I got an error msg that said the file's encrypted and couldn't be loaded. But the presenter didn't understand what that meant about being encrypted. Anyone else dealt with this?
