    iWork suite. Transferring to a PC

    I have built a keynote presentation for some first year nursing students I have to speak to at the start of their semester. The projector runs off of a PC and my keynote will not translate to PowerPoint. Mac does not have a keynote reader for PC. It seems possible that you can upload to keynote to iWork.com (I think) and it'll play fine on a PC from that website, however, it seems that feature doesn't work when uploading from an iOS based keynote, only the newest Mac based keynote. Is it possible to transfer the iOS keynote to a Mac keynote then transfer that to the website so that the feature will work?

    I hope this explanation suffices, I can clear up co fusion if there is any.

    Well if you can get it to open on a mac keynote then you should be able to save it as a .ppt anyways. Worth a try.

    If you don't have an answer by tomm I can ask some people I work with who would know the answer.

    Edit: I just made a keynote on my iOS device, and under the tool-wrench button it gives you to the option to "Share via iWork.com" it's an ipod touch so I'm not sure if it's the same for an ipad....

    Edit #2: How does this work?

    Edit #3: K I see what you're saying....hmmmm

    All that is well and good, but transferring to a .ppt file isn't feasible, as all the keynote features do not translate. As I said in the OP, I understand how to share, that's not the problem. iWork.com's website allows you to upload your keynote and even play it in a browser, however, this feature is only present if the keynote was uploaded to iWork.com through a Mac based version of iWork, not the iOS version. So, my question is, can I open my iOS version of the keynote in a Mac version of Keynote, then upload it from the Mac version to the iWork website to be viewed in a browser?

    sounds like something you can complain (email) directly to steve jobs and maybe you'll even get a reply!

    Yes IOS and Mac version of keynote are the same at 99.9% lol

    So yes transfer it to a mac then upload it to iWork.

    Even though you cannot open it from a PC I think you can send it by email to your PC and still upload it to iWork.com

    But i'm not sure on that 2nd point

    Yes it works if you go through a mac, i just tried it. Pc wont work because you cant obviously open iwork and "share" it. And theres no other way to upload the file to the website as far as i know.
