Send to Keynote

I notice in the Windows version of L4 that when right-clicking on a graphic image, one of the options is to send to PowerPoint.

Since so many Mac users prefer Keynote over PowerPoint, I wonder if there will be a similar option in the Mac version to send the graphic to Keynote?

If this isn't already on the drawing board, I'd like to suggest it.

good suggestion! I think that should be the default option for Mac!

If I may put my 2 cents in here, I'm a PC user, love MS Office, but this only makes sense to me.

Logos folks, another feature you can use for advertising: "When Logos 4 does not quite work the way you want it to, it's not a bug, it's a feature! Imagine the community life you will experience as you join with other users to entreat the Logos programmers to provide the featureset that is right for you."

How 'bout an option for Neo/Open Office. I didn't really like iwork 09. Pages was garbage. I never had an opportunity to use Keynote.

I shouldn't say Pages is garbage, but I don't like the way you need to save/export files to a different format.

I am all for being able to send to Keynote ... sending to Pages would be nice as well. Since Microsoft Office is originally for Windows ... it only makes sense for the default for the Mac version to be Keynote since iLife is Mac. But, as I do know some use Microsoft office for Mac (not me) it still would probably be good to have PowerPoint as an option and probably Microsoft Word as well. It would be nice if under settings I could choose my own default, KeyNote or PowerPoint and Word or Pages.

Philip,

You are correct ... I am a PC. Accidentally clicked on the Logos 4 Mac forum but immediately felt the warmth emanating from it, so I stayed a while and found this interesting thread where everyone is agreeing with everyone else. Is this really what the Mac world is like? It's a beautiful thing. Besides, why should there even be Mac/PC flame wars (or rumors of wars) when there are so many other things that could be profitably argued like KJV v. all other translations. [;)]

You guys are too funny. OK, I'd like the option of Keynote/Powerpoint and Pages/Word. I happen to have both, depending on where the end result is going. I know... it seems so wrong.

I think they ought to drop the "Send to..." option in both Windows and Mac. Since there's more than one presentation program, just let the user copy and paste into his program of choice. It's not like it saves that much time. It doesn't add much in the way of functionality, and it actually just needlessly clutters the menu for anyone who uses a different program. At the least give the user a choice of presentation programs that can be selected in the Logos program settings.

I don't agree, I'm afraid. PowerPoint and Keynote are by far the most popular slideware applications. The functionality exists within L4. So why remove it?

Powerpoint?? People still use powerpoint????

Keynote - ftw!

I think that the "Send" feature should remain with an option of Keynote/Powerpoint & Pages/Word. Those are the most popular applications.

Because only one of the two most popular slideware applications is supported. And most of the suggestions for changing the program seem to call for Keynote to simply replace PowerPoint, which still leaves out one of the main programs. That's the main thing I have a problem with. At least let the user choose. If the "Send to" option is going to exist, it should be made to work like the "Copy Bible Verses" in the Windows version (although I typically use the "Copy" button rather than the "Copy and Paste" button for the same basic reason I state below). "Copy Bible Verses" lets you pick the word processor. I wouldn't really have a problem with this if you could choose the target app.

However, I still would not see any real added value even if the target app could be chosen. The copy button actually gives the user more control over where the image is pasted in PowerPoint and Keynote. If you already have 10 slides, the "Send to" option is simply going to create an eleventh -- even if you're copying an image to use on the first slide. If I have to turn around and use cut and paste in PowerPoint or Keynote to get the image in the right place after using "Send to," has it really saved any steps? When using the copy button, you can then paste into whichever slide you want.

I'm all for more functionality. But if you're going to throw in the kitchen sink, I'd at least like for it to work well for everyone. If it doesn't, then it just takes up space, at least for some people. (How would you like a kitchen sink with a "Send to plastic cup" option when you're using a glass?) I just don't think the program with the most code necessarily wins.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this is worked out with time. It is in the alpha stage.

I agree with the majority as well. :-) Having a Send to Keynote (and possibly option to send to PowerPoint: mac) would be excellent. Same for text to send to Pages or Word. Would be fantastic!

There's no need for us to have this discussion at all - L4 already has the following options:

All of these functions work as expected. There's 'Copy' and 'Save As ...' for those of us who like a bit of control over where and how the image is moved into the presentation and there's 'Send to PowerPoint' and 'Send to Keynote' for those who just want a quick and easy way to add the graphic to a new slide in their presentation.

So I am at a loss to understand why you would want the developers to remove functionality that is already implemented.

Yes this function works very well, especially with maps and images. Things for the most part also enlarge well in Keynote. The only thing to keep in mind is you might want to keep your background white on some, because there is that on some of the images.

Also when you Command + Control (i.e. Right Click) you can choose "Save as" this saves it in a .png file format that will work in most programs that handle graphics! So that is also helpful, especially if you want to work in Pages.

Does Keynote integrate with Proclaim?
