I had no problem opening this document on my iPad. Plus I have the Dropbox app on my device. These two factors may be why I could open it.

I agree that you should let the participants know that they will get the presentation up front...or bring them with you so they can follow along and jot notes on appropriate pages.


Apple products (OSx and IOS) usually have an application that can open .key files. Anyone using Windows or Android products would need to download an application.

If you are giving a class to potential photographers, they probably want to learn their complicated cameras. Based on that, I think you should remove this statement, “If you want a camera that does everything, get a point and shoot”.

Also, a set of pictures that demonstrates different apertures and different shutter speeds would be helpful.

My 2 cents worth (I miss the “cents” symbol)

On a PC, you can get the cents symbol (¢) by holding down the ALT key and hitting 155 on the numeric keypad at the right side of your keyboard. DO NOT use the numbers at the top of your keyboard. Make sure "Number Lock" is on. If 155 doesn't work, use 0155. 0162 also works, but 162 does not. If you use an Apple computer, I think it might be Option or Control rather than Alt.

I think I have changed this to a PDF presentation in dropbox. Can some of you see if it works now?

On my windows machine running firefox, the download symbol is next to the sign in button.

The download worked ok and was viewable using Acrobat.

Thank you for that. Unfortunately, my iMac came with a small keyboard without the numeric keypad. Now I have a reason to buy the bigger keyboard! Lol

The PDF version that I posted last should work for you.

There probably are function keys (normally in blue) that create a numeric keypad for you.

I'm on my Mac Book Pro while on vacation; but I can try that at home. In the meantime, I looked for the answer online.


Edit: A-ha...I found the answer. Hold the alt key and tap the 4 key...my 2¢

It did; but I had no problem opening your original version either. The PDF version is probably a better choice. Good luck with your presentation. That's great that you are doing this for FREE!
