Getting Started with Keynote

Adding and Formatting Text

Each slide includes various kinds of text—title, subtitle, bullets—depending on its

master. Choose a master slide with the combination of text and other elements that

best suits the slide’s content.

Most body text is bulleted. For information about creating text without bullets,

see “Adding Text Without Bullets” in Keynote Help or the Keynote User’s Guide.

Here are ways to work with bulleted text:
 To add a new line of bulleted text, press Return.

 To indent a bulleted line, press Tab.

 To move an indented line to a higher level, press Shift-Tab.

 To add a new line of nonbulleted text (to create a subparagraph under a bullet,

for example), press Option-Return.

You can change text properties—such as font, size, color, and spacing—at any time

using either the Font panel or the Text Inspector. For more information about these

tools, see “The Font Panel” on page 19 and “The Inspector Window” on page 17.

Adding Graphics and Other Media

You can add many types of media to your presentation, including photos, movies,

audio, graphics created in other applications, and tables and charts created in Keynote

or one of the other iWork ’08 applications.

Many of the master slides contain placeholder photos. Although you can add photos

anywhere on a slide, dropping a photo on one of these placeholders automatically

positions and sizes the photo. You can use the placeholders for other types of media

too, including movies and sound files.
