Saving a Custom Theme
If you have made modifications to master slides in any theme, and you want to use these
modifications again in other slide presentations, you can save the modified theme as a
custom theme. Once you save your custom theme, master slides with your modifications will
be available in the theme selection dialog. You can then select the custom theme as you
would select any theme in the dialog.
To save the current theme as a custom theme:
1 Choose File > Save Theme.
2 Type a name for the theme. You can also type a few notes about the theme in the Description
field.
3 If you want to save the theme in a different location, choose the location using the Where
pop-up menu.
4 Click Save.
Unless you save your theme in a special location, custom themes are found in the following
folder on your hard disk:
[Home]/Library/Application Support/Keynote/Themes/[Custom Theme]
Only themes found in this location are available in the theme selection dialog. However, if
you choose to store your theme outside of this location, you can open it as a blank Keynote
document and work directly in it to create a slideshow.
Restoring Original Theme Defaults
If you have made modifications to master slides in one of your Keynote documents and you
later decide you want to return to the original theme defaults, you can do so by reapplying
the theme to your document.
To restore the theme defaults:
1 Choose File > Choose Theme.
2 In the theme selection dialog, select the original theme.
3 Choose a presentation size from the pop-up menu.
4 Make sure the checkbox labeled “Retain changes to theme defaults” is not selected.
5 Click Choose Theme.
