I created a Powerpoint presentation on my MacBook Air (using Powerpoint for Mac version 15.15) and shared it with a Windows PC, running an older version of Powerpoint. The audio file on one of the Mac-created slides would not run on the Windows machine - giving the error message Codec not available. I see that Powerpoint 2016 and Powerpoint 2013 have Optimize Media Compatibility buttons. I can't find that on Powerpoint for Mac version 15.15. What should I do to make a slide with an audio file compatible with the recipient's set up? Windows 10 free usb download. While PowerPoint on the Mac can import a variety of sound files, some of those formats are only Mac compatible. Formats that are more universal are MP3 and WAV.

If the sound file is something like AIFF, it's very unlikely to play in Windows. To convert sound files from one format to another, try downloading and installing the free. To convert the existing files in your presentation, please follow these steps: • Make a copy of your presentation to a separate folder.

• Add.zip to the file ending. OS X will ask if you want to do this, choose Use.zip. • Right-click on the file and open it with the Archive Utility instead of PowerPoint. You will see several folders and a file called [Content_Types].xml. Adobe photoshop elements 13 download. • Open ppt/media. All the sound files in the presentation are here.

Recently, we covered Quick360, which is a free web app for conducting 360 Degree appraisals. Similarly, if you are looking for offline templates for conducting 360 Degree appraisals, you can use the 360 Employee Evaluation Feedback Template for PowerPoint. New PowerPoint 2015 (currently preview) has great new animation and transition in it. PowerPoint also support Audio and Video file as well as the Keynote do. So They can be played on both system with the correct version and extension.

• Open the ones that don't play under Windows in Audacity and convert to either WAV or MP3, keeping the file names the same except for the ending. • Go back to the folder where you unzipped the presentation. • Select [Content_Types].xml plus the folders, right-click and choose Open with and select Archive Utility. (If you don't see Archive Utility in the list of programs, click on Other, then find Archive Utility in Applications/Utilities.) • Give the file a.pptx ending and try opening it in PowerPoint. • If PowerPoint exhibits any problems opening the converted sound files, open another copy of the original presentation in PowerPoint, delete the problem sound files and replace them with the converted versions you just made. • Test in Windows.
