Compatibility and Powerpoint

Today we are going to look at different things you can do with powerpoint files.  For example, saving powerpoint files as powerpoint shows alllows one to view the powerpoint file on a computer that does not have powerpoint installed on it.  This will be a .ppsx file.  You can also savce the powerpoint as a PDF file which can be opened with Adobe Acrobat reader.  If you choose this method however, you will not be able to edit the powerpoint. Windows Live Movie Maker is also another way to make your presentation viewable.  Files can be saved as .wlmp but in this format they are not compatible with most things on the internet.  You can also save your file as .wmv which is compatible with things on the internet such as youtube. We also learned about Prezi, which is an alternative to powerpoint that is much cooler.
