Learn the basics of working smart when you open,
import, edit, save, back up, and password-protect your
Keynote documents.
This chapter provides tips on how to quickly save your presentation while you work
and how to protect your documents with a password.
Keynote works seamlessly to open PowerPoint and AppleWorks presentations, making
it easy to continue work on presentations you’ve already created in other applications,
or to collaborate with others who are using other applications.
To learn about saving a Keynote document in PowerPoint or another format, see the
topics below “About Exporting a Slideshow to Other Formats” on page 217.
About Creating or Opening a Document
Each slideshow you create is an individual Keynote document. There are several ways
to begin working in a Keynote document:
Create a new Keynote document. Â
Import a document that was created in PowerPoint or AppleWorks. Â
Open an existing Keynote document. Â
Creating a New Keynote Presentation
To create a new Keynote presentation:
1 If Keynote isn’t open, open it by clicking its icon in the Dock or double-clicking its icon
in the Finder.
If Keynote is already open, choose File > “New from Theme Chooser” or press Shift-
Command-N.
