[QUOTE="Nightblade, post: 53699"] Alright, here's the problem. I have to create a presentation on MC Escher for art class on Wednesday, but I'm wondering if I should use Keynote instead of PowerPoint. I mean, I have both on my computer, but my school computers are Windows machines, so they obviously only have PowerPoint. That's not a problem though, since files created by PowerPoint can be read and manipulated by Keynote, and vice-versa, correct? Now, here's another problem--sending it to school. I have to do it by e-mail, since I don't have a CD burner (I USED to have a computer with a CD burner, but my brother took it with him when he moved into university at the beginning of September), but I don't have a Gmail account, so I think I can't make the file any bigger than 10 MB, or else no account will accept it as an attachment (Gmail would be the only one to accept it, as far as I know). This raises the question: Can the size of a presentation file differ depending on whether Keynote or PowerPoint has manipulated it? If so, which program causes the file size to increase less than the other? Another thing I should mention is that I have no experience using Keynote, but from what I've heard, it's not too hard to learn, is it? It's just that I'm really not a big fan of PowerPoint (due to how much of the CPU's power it takes up when it's running, glitches, and I'm looking for a superior alternative). So, should I use Keynote or should I stick with PowerPoint? [/QUOTE]
