Actually i have this same issue EVERYTIME i need to do a powerpoint presentation at school, church, or anywhere else since not everyone is on a mac. I was thinking of just buying the VGA adapter and connecting my macbook directly to the projector.
The simplest solution to this is to save a Keynote.key presentation as a PowerPoint.pptx presentation, which can then be opened in Microsoft Office, Google Slides Docs, Keynote, OpenOffice, or just about any other presentation app regardless of the platform it runs on, whether it’s Windows, Linux, another Mac, or even iPad.
From what i hear, its software that you have to purchase that allows the pictures to convert to window's format. If anyone has an idea of how to get around this, it would be great. But if not, i'd like to know where to get that software also. Sorry i couldnt be of any help, but youre not the only one with this issue =). Actually i found a very easy way to fix this problem!!

Okay so here's what you do. When you're on a website and you find a picture that you want to put in your powerpoint, instead of copying it, what you do is right click and save it to your desktop. Then open it up from your desktop and then click file then save as and where it says 'format' save it as 'BMP' which is for windows. After you save it as that then when you are in powerpoint go to insert, picture, from file, and choose the BMP picture you saved and then it should work on a pc!! An old but ongoing problem with MS Office.
Check out this site here: There's a couple of workarounds suggested in the comments. One that isn't: presumably you're using Safari. To copy/paste images from webpages to an PowerPoint (or any MS Office app), try using Firefox instead. The root cause, for those interested, seems to be explained in the last comment on the page. Basically, apps built using Carbon and Cocoa frameworks store copied images in the clipboard differently. Copying from Safari or Preview (Cocoa) to PowerPoint (Carbon) result in this 'Quicktime' problem when opening it on Windows. Copying from Firefox to PowerPoint (both Carbon) should be okay.
