Changing the Font Used in Outline View
You can change the font used when you view your slideshow in outline view.
To change the outline view font:
1 Choose Keynote > Preferences.
2 If the General pane isn’t showing, click General.
3 Choose a font and font size from the Outline View Font pop-up menus.
Adding Accents and Special Characters
If you need to type characters with accent marks (such as ü), mathematical symbols,
arrows, or other special characters, you can use the International preferences pane or
the Character Palette. You can also see where characters are located on keyboards used
for other languages by using the Keyboard Viewer (for example, you can see how the
keys on an Italian keyboard are laid out). All of these are built-in tools of Mac OS X.
Adding Accent Marks
You can use the Keyboard Viewer available in System Preferences to add accent marks
to characters.
To add accent marks:
1 Choose Apple > System Preferences and click International.
2 Click Input Menu, then select the checkbox next to Keyboard Viewer.
3 Choose Show Keyboard Viewer from the Input menu on the right side of the menu bar
(the one that looks like a flag or alphabetical symbol).
The Keyboard Viewer shows the characters for your keyboard. (If you've selected a
different keyboard layout or input method in the Input menu, it shows the characters
for the selected keyboard layout). For example, if U.S. is chosen in the Input menu, you
see the characters that appear on a U.S. keyboard in the Keyboard Viewer.
4 To see the different accent marks that you can type highlighted in the Keyboard
Viewer, press Option, or the Option and Shift keys.
The accent mark keys appear with white outlines. Depending on your keyboard, you
may not need to press any of the modifier keys to see the accent keys.
5 Place the insertion point in your document where you want to type.
