How see the presenter's notes after exporting a Keynote presentation to PowerPoint?

I have tried to export a Keynote presentation to Powerpoint, but I could not see my presenters notes.


Also, the audio files wouldn't play.


I was at a conference where I was expected to load up my presentation with a thumb-drive to a PC on the podium. It was really awful, I needed my mac-book air side-by-side with a PC to see my show notes. I had to click two buttons every time I advanced a slide.


Is this normal?


I'm on my way to a conference where I will be speaking from a stage, and I want to see my show notes after exporting my file to a thumb-drive. I'll be standing in front of an audience for an hour and a half.


What do I need to know. Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Mike

What PowerPoint are you using at these conferences, Windows or Mac?


Have a look at this Microsoft support webpage: see your notes in Presenter view


Presenter notes export correctly from Keynote to PowerPoint

They are shown in the following view menus:

View > Normal

View > Notes

View > Presenter View


WhenPowerPoint is in play, presenter notes are seen in:

Slideshow > Presenter view

Slideshow > Rehearse



Audio files are exported and play on slides, however sound track files are not compatible from Keynote
