Cannot import from Powerpoint anymore?

[tmichocki]

I seem to have lost the ability to import my Powerpoint presentations into Active Inspire. I could do it before, but now when I go to File--Import---all I can see are PDF files, ExamView files, and SMART files. I used to be able to see PPT as an option with a further option of import as an object, or import as a picture. (I am using a Mac for this)

Anyone got any ideas?:(

I don't think that the Mac version ever had the import from PowerPoint option. You could either ask a PC friend to import it for you or perhaps you could save the powerpoint as a pdf and import the pdf?

Hmmm....it worked like a week ago. I wonder if upgrading to the new 10.6.2 version of Snow Leopard over the weekend had an effect??

Anyone have any experience with this yet?

The Mac version has never had the option to import from PowerPoint. This is only available on the PC side. You can print a PowerPoint to a PDF and then import the PDF version, but there isn't a direct import from PowerPoint on the Mac side.
