Re: [applekeynote] PP Export

Good suggestions, but no go. Also uninstalled and reinstalled MS Office to no avail.

In my mind, when something like this happens I can only assume that something snarky has happened to my computer. Just as a coincidence, an office mate of mine came to me an hour ago with the problem that he couldn't save a document from Word: he was getting a message that there was no room on the HD to place the file (112 GB wasn't enough space??)

We downloaded Leopard Cache Cleaner (from versiontracker.com) and ran it in demo mode. We went over to the last tab and did a Medium cleaning of all three caches (Local, System, and Users). Then after restarting, we checked off all of the top four generic repairs in the Maintain (first) tab (Permissions, Maintenance, Prebindings, and Log Archives). After these were complete, we had to restart his computer again.

After the restart, his problem was solved.

In short, we often neglect general maintenance of our computers until they force us to. Whether this will solve your problem or not I cannot guarantee. However, it's a good place to start.

There are other generic maintenance repair programs for the Mac, Onyx is free, Leopard Cache Cleaner is about $9 and can do other things. Either way it's your call. I first used LCC when I was REALLY REALLY  up a wall, ran it in demo mode and purchased a license because it saved my butt.

Good luck and let us know how it works out.

I'm having a problem I've never had before.

As a backup, I always export my presentations in PP on a flash drive  
in case I have a technical problem and need to borrow a windows  
machine.  I'm trying to do this for a talk on Friday and for some  
reason PP won't open the file. It tries for several minutes then  
fails, telling me there is something wrong with the file. I'm using KN  
'08 on a MBP 2.4 GHz w/ 2 GB RAM.  I also have MS Office 2008.

I have tried it with  a couple of different presentations and same  
problem. I have had no problem doing this in the past. Any idea what  
to try next?

I do not have a Windows version of Office to test in on.

Thanks.
