Powerpoint to IPOD

[MMM]

I need to convert a Powerpoint slide show to be viewed on an Ipod.
When I was in the Apple Store a tech showed me how to do it but I
don't have a Mac so I can't recreate it. Is there a SAVE AS or CONVERT
button in Powerpoint for Macs that can convert it easily? Any other
ideas?

PPT can indeed easily convert your presentations into a QuickTime movie.
I don't believe there is any equivalent in the WIndows version.

Hi,

Since you don't have a Mac you'll have to turn the presentation into a Movie
file of some sort first. This URL explains how to do that.
http://pptfaq.com/FAQ00156.htm

The movie file format you are seeking is 3gp. Apple's QuickTime Pro for
Windows ($30) can export many movie formats to 3gp, as can several other
Windows programs.

If you scoot to the bottom of the above mentioned link you will find the
explanation of how to save a PowerPoint presentation as a QuickTime movie on
a Mac (it's File > Make Movie).
