Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / June 2006hpgl format support
I was wondering if the hpgl graphic format was supported for the mac versions of power point. Thanks for any responses. Cheers, Jason Jason, On the PC version of powerpoint there is an HPGL graphic import filter. I think from memory, that you have to do a 'custom install' of powerpoint and choose the HPGL filter. I'm not sure about the mac version. Have you tried insert > picture > from file then point powerpoint to your hpgl file and click "insert" what happens? Can the software you use to create the HPGL create another format? e.g. eps, wmf, emf? CGM even!

The program is in the Windows environment. I just got a new MacBook Pro running mac os x and windows xp and I'm deciding which verison of Office to buy. I'm new to the Mac world.

As a grad student you are of course able to get the student/teacher version of Office 2004 for the Mac. It runs about $149 and allows three licenses for three of your computers. Some universities offer this even cheaper depending on their arrangement with Microsoft. My alma mater did not offer the Mac version at a discount, but they DID offer the full PC version (2003) for about $20 including FrontPage. I had an old PC and ended up buying the PC version but already had the Mac version too. I greatly prefer the Mac version for working, but there are a few tiny things that simply will not work on the Mac version. For example, I ran across certain custom scripts for Excel that were written in Visual Basic and they would not run on the Mac version. In addition, some of the effects in Powerpoint such as motion paths are not in the Mac version, but will run there if created on a PC. 95%+ of what you do can easily be done in the Mac version. Only you can decide if it is worth that occassional headache to enjoy what I think is superior software. Personally, I'd do it just for Entourage. Good luck, -Mark > Thanks for all the help. the file comes from a data analysis program > written by my dissertation advisor (I'm a grad student).
