Retaining or Undoing Your Style Changes

If you make style and formatting changes on a slide and then decide that you want to

return to the theme’s default styles, you can reset the slide to the default styles.

To reset a slide to the default styles for the theme:

m

Select the slide and choose Format > Reapply Master to Slide.

You can reset multiple slides at once by selecting them in the slide organizer.

If you make style and formatting changes throughout a Keynote document and then

change the entire document to another theme, you can reset all styles to the theme

defaults or keep the overrides you made. (For example, if you change the background

fill on a few slides, you can keep the same fill in the new theme or use the new

theme’s background fill.)

To retain style overrides when applying a new theme:

1

Click Themes in the toolbar and choose Theme Chooser (or choose File > Choose

Theme).

2

Select a new theme.

3

Select “Retain changes to theme defaults.”

4

Click Choose.
