To set Keynote to automatically detect that something you’ve typed is an email address
or a URL, select “Automatically detect email and web addresses.” Email and web
addresses you type automatically become hyperlinks for Mail or Safari.

To replace one or more characters with one or more different characters, select “Symbol
and text substitution.” Then use the rows in the table to define and activate specific
substitutions. For example, when you type (c), you can have Keynote automatically
convert it to © by putting a checkmark in the On column. To define your own
substitution, click the Add (+) button. To remove a selected item, click the Delete (–)
button.

After you specify substitution settings, they’ll apply to any text you change or add in
any Keynote documents.

Inserting a Nonbreaking Space

You can insert a nonbreaking space between words to make sure that the words
always appear in the same line of text.

To insert a nonbreaking space:

m

Press the Space bar while holding down the Option key.

Checking for Spelling Mistakes

Keynote can catch spelling errors in your document and help you find alternative
spellings for misspelled words.

Finding Misspelled Words

You can set the spell checker to flag spelling errors as you type, or you can check your
entire document or selected text at any time.

Misspelled words appear with a red line below them.

Here are ways to find misspelled words:

m

To check spelling as you type, choose Edit > Spelling > “Check Spelling as You Type.”

To turn off spell checking as you type, click Edit > Spelling > “Check Spelling as You
Type” to deselect it (make sure the checkmark is not visible next to the menu
command).

m

To check spelling from the insertion point to the end of the document, click to place
the insertion point and choose Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling. To limit spell checking
to a specific part of the document, select the text you want to check before choosing
the command.

The first misspelled word found is highlighted. You can correct it or choose the same
menu command again to continue checking the document.
