Will my presentation made on keynote 4.04 open in the newest version of powerpoint?

I spent all this time working on a presentation in Keynote but it has to be sent to a pc and be read by powerpoint. I thought it would work since powerpoint opens in keynote but I'm trying to open my presentation on the old version of powerpoint on my mac and its not opening. Will it open in the newest version of powerpoint in a pc? If not, how can I make it?

    When you save your keynote document, save it as a powerpoint file and you should be good to go.

    PowerPoint can open any presentation saved in a standard open presentation file format such as .pptx and .ppsx.

    Keynote does not save in the standard open file format because it uses its own private proprietary file format. Keynote can export a presentation in the old PowerPoint 97 file format (.ppt) from the File > Export menu in Keynote.

    You 'ought to' be wonderful. The microsoft place of work courses are frequently superb with backward compatibility. If it would not open, it ought to refer you to acquire a module to enable to open the document (demands cyber web get entry to). i've got have been given Powerpoint 2003 and it helps me to maintain as 1997 or perhaps 1995 in case you ought to have it working, or are purely walking into the room and expected to present day without training - Then i might do a backup plan besides !!!! Do a save As besides and save the presentation as "JPEG" information. they're going to save to a folder. those will open on any workstation without requiring any utility. purely double-click on the 1st jpeg and then use the arrow keys on the biggest phrases to circulate left and real. the place presentation are in touch, its constantly a good option to have a backup plan. regardless of in case you do each little thing real, you could discover something is misguided the different end. I frequently do print outs besides --- so a minimum of I even have something to instruct regardless of if theres a skill decrease!
