[QUOTE="technologist, post: 53706, member: 4134"] To answer your original question, in my experience, PowerPoint-format files created by Keynote are huge. Apple does something wierd to embed all of the pretty Keynote graphics in the PowerPoint format, and the file sizes can get out of hand. You can always export it as an Acrobat PDF; they look good and don't take up much space. Use the Full Screen option in Acrobat. But you won't get any transitions, build-in effects, animations or sounds this way. But on the whole, if you have PowerPoint, and you're going to be showing it on a PC, then I'd use PowerPoint.
