Step 2: Create Your Slides
When you select a theme, a single slide appears in the slide organizer. You can begin
working in this first slide, adding text, graphics, movies, and sound. You can add new
slides to the document as needed.
To add a slide, do one of the following:
 Choose Slide > New Slide (or click New in the toolbar).
 Click New in the toolbar.
 Select a slide in the slide organizer and press Return.
Important: Save your work often by choosing File > Save. For more details about
saving Keynote documents, see “Step 4: Save Your Slideshow” on page 33.
As you work, you’ll want to use different slide layouts to place your text and graphics
on individual slides. Master slides provide the layouts you are most likely to need.
Using Master Slides
Each Keynote theme includes a family of master slides. Each master slide has a
different layout that may include title and body placeholder text, as well as object
placeholders for graphics, tables, and charts.
Most themes come with the master slide layouts described here:
When you create a new slide, it uses the master slide of the selected slide. (Except
when the selected slide is the first slide, Title & Subtitle.) You can change a slide’s
master slide layout at any time.
Master slide Recommended use
Title Title page or section titles within your presentation
Title & Subtitle Title page or section titles requiring a subtitle
Bullets General content pages that require bulleted text; the text area
fills the entire slide
Title & Bullets—Left Content pages on which you can place bulleted text on the left
and a graphic on the right
Title, Bullets & Photo Title page or section title with text and photo
Blank Graphics-rich layouts
