John C. Welch's Profile

"Now onto Keynote. Anyone who has seen Keynote in person or in demonstrations, knows that it is a powerful presentation tool capable of everything PowerPoint can do and more." Um, no, not even close. Keynote has one advantage...a small set of dubiously useful transitions. Try setting complex type features in Keynote...superscripts, subscripts, etc. It sucks. There's no automation features at all, at least PPT v.x allows you to use VBA or RealBasic. Keynote can't be bothered unless you want to use XML, which is data - format integration, not procedural automation. Keynote files also balloon at a shocking rate, which is just so nice when you're stuck sending one to someone and you don't have high-speed access. it's a nice application, but PPT is FAR more capable. john
