Working with a Keynote Document

After you create a new slide, you customize it by adding your own text, images, shapes,
tables and charts, and more.

Adding Slides

Here are ways to add a slide:

m

Select a slide in the slide navigator and press Return.

m

Select a slide and click the New (+) button in the toolbar.

m

Select a slide and choose Slide > New Slide.

m

Press Option and drag a slide until you see a blue triangle. This action duplicates the
dragged slide.

m

Select a slide and choose Edit > Duplicate.

These methods add the new slide after the slide selected in the slide navigator. To add
a slide in another location in your slideshow, use the Copy and Paste commands, or
drag the new slide where you want it.

In navigator or light table view, you can also create a new slide by dragging movie,
sound, or image files from the Media Browser to the desired location in the slide
navigator. (To open the Media Browser, click Media in the toolbar.)

When you add a new slide, it uses the master of the slide selected in the slide
navigator. (For new Keynote documents, the first slide uses the Title & Subtitle master
slide, and the second slide uses the Title & Bullets master.) You can change a slide’s
master at any time by clicking Masters in the toolbar and choosing a new master.

Reordering Slides

The navigator, outline, and light table views make it easy to reorder slides.

To reorder slides:

1

Click View in the toolbar and choose Navigator, Outline, or Light Table.

2

Select one or more slides and drag them to a new location.

Grouping Slides

In navigator view, you can create groups of slides by indenting them as many levels
deep as you need to. Indented (subordinate) slides are called “children.” Indenting
slides doesn’t affect how the slideshow plays.

To see navigator view, click View in the toolbar and choose Navigator.
