In the Theme Chooser, click “Open an Existing File” and locate the document you want

m

in the Open window and click Open.
To open one of the last several documents that you’ve worked on, choose File > Open

m

Recent and choose the document from the submenu, or click Open Recent in the
Theme Chooser, and then select the name of the file you want.
If the document has password protection, double-click the document icon, and then

m

type the password in the field and click OK.

If you see a message that a font or file is missing, you can still use the document.
Keynote replaces missing fonts with a font that’s available on your computer. To restore
the missing fonts to the document, quit Keynote and then add the fonts to your Fonts
folder (for more information, see Mac Help). To make missing movies or sound files
appear, add them back to the document as you did originally. To avoid this problem,
you can save media files as part of the document when saving; see the details in
“Saving a Presentation” on page 31.

Note: If you open a document that was created in iWork ’08, and you want to preserve
it for use with the older version, save it in the same format. See “Saving a Presentation
in iWork ’08 Format”
on page 217.

About Saving Presentations

Graphics and chart data are saved within a Keynote presentations, so they display
correctly if the presentation is opened on another computer. Fonts, however, are not
included as part of the presentation. If you transfer a Keynote presentation to another
computer, make sure the fonts used in the presentation have been installed in the
Fonts folder of that computer.

By default, audio and movie files are saved with Keynote presentations, but you can
change this setting. If you don’t save media files with the presentation, you need to
transfer them separately to view them within the presentation on another computer.

If you’re running Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) or later, Keynote auto-saves your presentation
frequently in the background, so that you don’t have to worry about losing changes
made to your presentation if the application closes unexpectedly. You can also
save the presentation manually, creating an archive of older versions, which can be
recovered at any time.

Saving a Presentation

It’s a good idea to save your presentation often as you work. After you save it for the
first time, you can press Command-S to save it quickly while you work, using the same
settings each time.
