How can Keynote presentations be imported into Proclaim? There are instructions to find but they say the import menu in Proclaim has a choice for Keynote/Powerpoint while I only have Powepoint choice. Anybody?

    George, that's probably right and might be the best workaround. The challenge is that the export to PPT has to be performed by the one who uses MAC/Keynote. We try to motivate the preachers as well as the worship leaders and other contributors to make their stuff and insert it into Proclaim themselves. So, if somebody are not aware, or forget, that even though Kenyote is supported on their MAC it will not work in the service where a Windows computer is used for presenting. A cloud solution should be agnostic to what kind of device or operating system is used.

    All that has been said above is good, but if you uncheck "use only on this computer," the Mac user's Keynote can synchronize over to the Windows computer,

    Hi Torfinn, what you want would be nice, but it won't happen. The problem is Proclaim does not actually handle PowerPoint or Keynote file formats, to do so would present licensing issues. When you do an import in Proclaim it commands PowerPoint or Keynote to send it the individual slide images. So on a Mac you need Keynote installed to import PowerPoint or Keynote files, and on Windows you require PowerPoint to be installed to import a PowerPoint file. If there was a Keynote version for Windows, (and you had it installed) the developers would be able to use that to import a Keynote file.
