[QUOTE="reallycheep, post: 315487, member: 26374"] My wife just got a new teaching position so it seems like the perfect time to try out the Macintosh platform. I'm ordering her a Macbook Core2Duo, and trying to decide between buying a copy of Office 2004 for Students/Teachers ($149) or having iWork preinstalled ($49). As an Art History teacher she relies heavily on presentation software. All of my wife's work up to now has been created in Office. Will she be able to open all of her .ppt files in Keynote? Also, if she creates a presentation in Keynote, can she save it as a .ppt so that it can be opened with PowerPoint? I'd love for her to be able to use Keynote but if it's going to cause issues then I'll stick with PowerPoint and pony up for the Office suite. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
