Bragging Rights for Softmaker

Post by jimjutte »

Here is something I thought might interest folks. For some odd reason a number of students in course that I am currently attending could NOT open powerpoint presentations from the professor... Odd... they all had PPT...

However... thanks to 1) the ability of SoftMaker Presentations ability to open PPT presentations AND export to PDF... the other 60 odd students can now ALSO view the presentations...

Strange but true ;)
Cheers

That's cool. We sometimes hear anecdotal stories of TextMaker being able to open Word documents that Word refuses, but this is the first report about SoftMaker Presentations vs. Powerpoint.

If you can believe it, every single presentation that the professor created, about 50% of the other students were unable to open. Rather an oddity. I've seen one or two in the past, but never such a large number. In any regard... just another reason to "emigrate". ;)
