Working with Text

This chapter describes how to add and modify the
appearance of text, including lists.

In Keynote, you can place text in text boxes, table cells, and shapes.

Adding Text

Master slides provide placeholder text (which you replace with your own) for slide titles
and body text.

Title text is larger than body text. Most body text is bulleted (preceded by a “dot” or
other ornament), but you can change to non-bulleted text using the Bullets pane in the
Text Inspector.

Here are ways to add text to a slide:

m

To add title text, double-click in a title text placeholder on the slide canvas and type
your text.

To add body text, double-click in a body text placeholder on the slide canvas and begin
typing.

m
