Will this advance slides in powerpoint and keynote?

No it will not advance slides. This remote was designed only for your music, control volume, control the shutter of your camera and close apps you have opened. That is all.

Not sure, I haven't tried it. I just downloaded the PowerPoint app to my iPhone. However I don't see why you couldn't configure it to work.

Yes, it will. You will probably have to lower the tray height. If your existing tray is wide and long enough for keyboard, then not an issue for these slides. I use corded Microsoft keyboard and lowered the height for me.

honestly, that is where this pointer comes up a little short. It's functionality for things other than slide advance and pointing is sketchy. the intention is there, but depending on how often you are going to use it you might be disappointed. I use it for irregular presentations, but my partner upgraded because he presents elaborate powerpoints for a living.

Hi, basically, yes (I'm using Tiger). When you plug the USB device in, the keyboard setup screen will pop up, and you'll have to ignore/close it, since Logitech doesn't provide drivers. The F5/start presentation button doesn't work in Powerpoint (I don't use Keynote), but the other buttons work (even the sound control). There might be better solutions for the Mac, but for me it works well enough.

Yes, you can download Abiword (open beta ATM) for .doc editing, and Gnumeric for spreadsheets. Unfortunately, there's no PowerPoint substitute.

Yes! I have an older USB presentation mouse, and although I got an "unsupported" message when I plugged it in, it works. Advances my PowerPoint slides right on cue.

Yes, it does. I am using mine right now, and was able to change from transition effects to straight slideshow. Hope this helps.

Yes it will. I use it to show powerpoint presentations at off-site locations for work.

It's excellent for PowerPoint presentations. I can't see why it wouldn't work fine for classroom presentations

I use my iPad and an app called "Presentation Link" to run PDFs as presentations. I could not get the app to respond to the Pointer. I tried iBooks too and it worked, though in iBooks there's no way to get rid of the "page-turn" effect so it wasn't useful to me. I worked with a great technician at Satechi and we were unable to find a compatible app that would work with the Pointer and allow me to set transitions to "None". It was a handsome and well made device that does exactly what the description says: "Works with Keynote on iOS (in accessibility mode), Keynote, Powerpoint, Google Docs, Prezi on Mac & PC" At the Apple store when I asked about a remote for the iPad they suggested I ask Best Buy. That's when I should have known it was time to sell my Apple stock.

Powerpoint gives you the option to save as a jpeg file. It will generate a separate jpeg file for each slide, and you can then display the slides as photos. It won't have any animation or video capability, but for simple presentations it works fine.

The F5 button can be made to work if you go to the keyboard settings in the System Preferences application. You can add a new keyboard shortcut to a specific application (e.g. Powerpoint or Keynote) by clicking on the + button, choosing the application (you may have to use the Other... option at the bottom of the menu). Then - for Keynote - set F5 to be the button for the 'Play Slideshow' command.

Does it advance slides and go backward in Adobe Reader in Full Screen Mode?

Yes. Suggest you visit the maker's website for detail: http://opteka.com/slidecopier.aspx

Absolutely! This is an awesome remote. The signal is so strong you can point the it in any direction and it'll advance slides. Only problem I've ever run into was when a presenter in a session next door had the same remote and, whenever he clicked, it advanced my slides! (That was about 5 years ago, though, and it hasn't happened since.)

Yes. I was able to present a ppt presentation via a jump drive. However, most of my presentations were via a laptop.
