Creating a Presentation

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.

To change the master for a slide:

1

Select the slide whose master slide layout you want to change.

2

Click Masters in the toolbar.

3

Select a master slide in the list.

For more information about modifying themes and master slides, see Chapter 9,

“Designing Your Own Master Slides and Themes.”
