Overview of Keynote

21

You create a slideshow using a theme—a family of master slides—to ensure a

handsome and cohesive look throughout your presentation. Master slides provide

predesigned layouts for various kinds of slides, with coordinated fonts, textures, chart

properties, and more. Each theme contains a variety of master slides, making it easy to

add titles, bulleted text, and graphics.

As you work on your slides, you may want to zoom in or out to get a better view of

what you are doing.

To zoom in or out on the slide canvas:

m

Choose a magnification level from the pop-up menu at the bottom left of the slide

canvas. Or choose View > Zoom > [zoom level].

Different Views

Keynote gives you a choice of four views to streamline the way you work.

 Navigator: In navigator view, use the slide organizer at the left side of the Keynote

window to organize the slides in your presentation. This view displays a thumbnail

image of each slide. You can rearrange slides by dragging them, and you can indent

slides to group them. Navigator view is good for graphics-rich presentations.

 Outline: Use outline view to see a text version of your slides in the organizer. This is

a good view for presentations that contain mostly text. As in navigator view, you can

rearrange and indent slides.

 Slide Only: Switch to slide only view when you want to hide the slide organizers

and concentrate only on slides.

 Light Table: Light table view shows your slides as if they were arranged on a

photographer’s light table. You can move slides around until you have the sequence

you want.

To change from one view to the other:

m

Click View in the toolbar and choose an option (or choose View > Navigator, Outline,

Light Table, or Slide Only).
