CE10 OR CR10 - MS POWERPOINT EXPORT?

[Wallie12]

I am using CE10 & CR10, I am unable to find where I can EXPORT in ADVERTISED MS POWERPOINT format. The admin guide refers to CR10 user guide & a off-line viewer. Has anyone used or heard of this beast?

Thanks in advance...

Hi, the PowerPoint viewer ( allows viewing PP presentations without it PP installed) is here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...22-B51F-4910-93FC-4CF2832D3342&displaylang=en

( This may not work with a click, so cut-and-paste)

Not sure if that is what is meant by off-line viewer, but maybe..

Thanks for the information.

In the new version of CE10 & CR10 an advertised feature was to allow the user to export directly from CE10 & CR10 into the powerpoint format as is currently allowed export into Adobe, WORD, and EXCEL. Has anyone utilized this advertised feature in CE10 or CR10?

Thanks in advanced

Wallie12,

Per the CR10 Features Document, export to MS PowerPoint is not a feature:

You might be thinking of the ability to export and/or embed report parts. Honeywell commonly uses '4-up reports', basically, PowerPoint presentations that have four charts in them. To the best of my knowledge, you could embed charts as report parts in PowerPoint presentations, but you can't export directly to PowerPoint. Also, in my experience with Honeywell, the users generally don't like the charts that are generated by Crystal Reports. They tend to export the data to Excel so that they can perform their own custom charting, including true Pareto Charts.
