When trying to load a powerpoint document made on a PC in powerpoint on my mac the viewer shows the first slide yet when I press open the screen is completely blank. There's no error message, it just doesn't appear. How do I convert this doc so that I can edit it and save it on my mac? Please help! Thanks.

Some PP files make my iMac "stall" - most are fine.

But with some, I cannot open the (right clicking) next etc etc box.

I have to shut down the Mac and begin all over again, deleting the file as it again will make the iMac stall

Help!!

Hi,

Mac PowerPoint does not support password protection of PowerPoint documents.

If you wish that Microsoft would address this problem, please use
PowerPoint's Help menu and send feedback to Microsoft so that they are
aware that Mac users expect this feature to be there.

Thanks.
