How To Give PowerPoint on Honeycomb Xoom without the Rendering and Format Issues

Blog Article: http://www.sleeplessninja.com/?p=373

So we saw yesterday with my QuickOffice Pro HD App Overview that it isn't a perfect Application. But it has allot of solid features. Unfortunately, like allot of Office Suites there is some rendering and formatting issues when it comes to Microsoft Word and Powerpoint Documents. So if you are looking for an app to deliver your Powerpoints on, you might have to look elsewhere because they most likely won't look the same. Unfortunately there isn't allot of options out there, in fact I couldn't find any. Please someone prove me wrong :) . However I have been going through a couple solutions. One solution is one I use at work because formatting problems even occur going across different Microsoft Powerpoint versions. So we convert to PDF and then present with a PDF viewer in fullscreen. An app like this doesn't seem to exist yet. Again please someone prove me wrong :) . I dug a little deeper and came up with this Workaround. You can save your Powerpoint as Pictures on your computer. Its very easy in Microsoft Powerpoint and then you can load them in a folder on the Xoom and use the stock Gallery App to view them. And you know what... It Works!!! It has a very nice full-screen effect works great on the projector, and really isn't too many additional steps. Its not the best thing in the world. But if you want to deliver powerpoint on your Xoom without worry about format getting messed up, this is a workable solution for now.

What is that apps widget with the shortcuts on your homescreen? Is it Xoom default? Nice video by the way.

the problem with PowerPoint is PowerPoint! I like your work around of putting it as a picture

@CRAZY6256 Thanks. I also have a workaround using eZ PDF App. You can write and highlight on your presentation that way as well. Check it out!

My powerpoint scrolls through the slides really fast with no obvious way to control the speed. Any ideas? Also, the powerpoint won't play some of the slides on my W7 desktop but plays htme perfectly on my Xoom. Why would that be?
