Working With Slides

When you create a new slideshow, Keynote automatically creates a title slide for you.

When you add the first slide after that, Keynote automatically switches to a “Title &

Bullets” slide layout, unless you choose a different master for the first slide. You can

change the master used for that or any other slide by clicking Master in the toolbar

and choosing a different layout.

If you choose a different master for the first slide, the next slide you insert will use the

master you chose. When you add a new slide, it uses the same master as the selected

slide (except in the case described above).

To add a slide, do one of the following:
 Select a slide and press Return.

 Click the New (+) button in the toolbar (or choose Slide > New Slide).

To duplicate a slide:

m

Press Option and drag a slide in the navigator until you see a blue triangle (or choose

Edit > Duplicate).

To copy a slide:

m

Select a slide, choose Edit > Copy, select another slide, and choose Edit > Paste.

To indent slides:

1

In navigator view, select the slide you want to indent.

To select multiple slides, hold down the Shift key and select the first and last slides in

a range.

2

Press Tab (or drag the selected slide to the right until a blue triangle appears).

You can create more indent levels by pressing Tab again. You can indent a slide only

one level deeper than the previous slide (known as the “parent” slide).

To move slides to a higher outline level:

m

Select the slides and press Shift-Tab (or drag the selected slides to the left).

To show or hide a group of slides:

m

Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the first slide in the group.

To skip a slide when you play your slideshow:

m

Select the slide and choose Slide > Skip Slide.
