On the menus and shortcuts front, PowerPoint – albeit oldskool – still has the edge. Useful it may be, but also poorly designed. At the same time, the inspector itself is a little small and cluttered, which it hampers its own utility. And although you can have multiple versions of the inspector open at the same time to access options quickly, the window is quite large and you can’t do so without sacrificing screen space (even on a retina display, this is too much of an imposition). It would be nice to be able to keep some of the inspector tabs anchored to the menus, but this isn’t possible. In fact, having them all located in one area, under separate tabs, proves to be a handy way to accessing them. However, as I mentioned, you can add some more functionality into the toolbar by customizing it, and once you fully explore the ‘inspector’ window, you’ll find that most things are collected together there as you’d expect. I work with a large number of shortcuts attached to my toolbar in PowerPoint, so having to hunt through the icons to find what I need is frustrating. Other options, such as ‘send to back’ and ‘flip horizontally’ can only be accessed by manually adding them to a customized toolbar. While all the options you need are there – things like colour formatting, drop shadows, text alignment, they are squirrelled away behind drop-down menus and tabs. In typical Apple style, Keynote presents you with a sparse, clean – but unfamiliar menu. The first difference between the two programmes (or Apps as we are now supposed to call them) is the set-up of the menus. My challenge was to pitch PowerPoint vs Keynote, to go about creating Keynote versions of BrightCarbon visual slides and document the differences between the process and the results.

I’ve used a Mac as my home computer for a long time, and flitted between it and Windows for work. And with that comes the question: ‘Can we do this on Keynote?’
However, precisely as Apple planned – the ‘halo’ effect of the iPhone and the iPad has encouraged more users to bring Macs to work.

PowerPoint has been the staple of the business presentation for a good many years, and with the imminent release of PowerPoint 2013 and the inevitable shift towards tablets that Windows 8 will help facilitate, it is likely to be so for a good many more. Can a PowerPoint user be converted to Keynote? Is this the perfect excuse to use Macs more? And how well do they work on iPad? Read on…
