How to Convert an Apple Keynote Presentation to Microsoft PowerPoint File
What is Keynote? Keynote is a tool developed by Apple Inc. as a part of the iWork productivity suite; it is used to help users create amazing and memorable presentations on most of the Apple devices. The presentation files created by Keynote will be saved in the name of *.key.
Several applications on Mac and Windows have similar functions:
- Keynote and PowerPoint: used to create presentations
- Numbers and Excel: used to deal with spreadsheet
- Pages and Word: used to process text & image information
