Working With Text, Graphics,
and Other Media
In the Keynote slide canvas you can easily manipulate text, graphics, and other types of
media all in the same workspace. Placing and editing text in Keynote is as easy as working in
any text editor. Manipulating graphics, sound, and movie files is just as simple. This chapter
describes in detail how to add different media elements to your slides.
Editing Text and Text Properties
Choose a master slide with the layout that suits your needs and enter your text by typing in
the title text box or body text box on the slide. (To learn about choosing a master slide, see
“Using Master Slides” on page 21.)
To enter and edit text in a text box:
1 Double-click the text box to place the text cursor inside the box.
2 If the text box is empty, type your text.
3 If you are editing text already in the box, double-click to select it and make your changes.
4 Adjust the text color, alignment, and font using the Text Inspector or Fonts window, as
described in “Changing Text Properties,” next.
If you want a text box without bullets, you can add a “free text box” to the slide.
To create a free text box:
1 Choose Edit > Place > Text. A text box appears in the center of the slide. ( You can also click
Text in the toolbar.)
2 Double-click in the text box a nd type the text you want to add to the slide.
Note: You cannot use formatted bullets in free text boxes. To get formatted bullets, you
must use a body text box. See “Adding Title Text and Body Text” on page 39.
