Hi Eric,

Thanks so much for this post. It helped improve my knowledge of the flat OPC format a great deal.

Question for you, do you know if PowerPoint 2008 for the mac can understand the Flat OPC format at all? I have a .xml file that can be opened as a presentation in PowerPoint 2007 on the PC but can't be opened in PowerPoint 2008 on the Mac. I don't see the "Save as PowerPoint XML Presentation" on the Mac like the PC has so I was wondering if the Mac handles the pptx formats only.

Thanks in advance,

Richard

Hi Richard,

I don't know very much about Mac support for Open XML or the flat OPC format, but if it won't open it, nor has the option to save as PowerPoint XML, then would guess it's not currently supported. As far as I know, the product team hasn't announced anything regarding this. Wish I had more info for you, but unfortunately, I don't.
