To add more slides:
m Choose Slide > New Slide (or click New in the toolbar). A new slide appears in the slide
organizer.
Select a slide in the slide organizer to work on it.
As you work, you’ll want to use different slide layouts to place your text and graphics on
individual slides. Master slides provide the layouts you are most likely to need.
Using Master Slides
Each Keynote theme includes a family of master slides. Each master slide has a different
layout for title and body text, as well as blank areas for graphics.
Each theme comes with several different master slide layouts, such as the examples
described here:
Each new slide you create takes on the master slide layout of the slide that was selected
when you chose Add Slide.
You can change the master slide layout for any individual slide to best suit the content you
want to place on that slide.
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 Choose 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.”
