computer in your presentations.

Note: If you use special fonts in a Keynote document and you send it to others, be

sure the recipients have those fonts installed on their computer.

tasks. A comprehensive list of keyboard shortcuts is available in onscreen help. Many

keyboard shortcuts are also listed in the Keynote Quick Reference card.

Many commands are also available in shortcut menus that you can access directly
