Apple Keynote '09 - Manual (Page 54)

Note: The size of shrunken text is not indicated in the Fonts window, nor is the
apparent spacing reflected in the the line and character spacing sliders in the Text
inspector. These controls continue to reflect the font size, and character and line
spacing of the original text size. If you make adjustments to these settings on text
to which auto-shrinking has been applied, it affects the settings of the original text,
which you’ll see only if you copy and paste the text into a new text box to which auto-
shrinking has not been applied.
You can apply auto-shrink to the placeholder text boxes on a slide master, and that
quality is inherited by any new slides based on that master. To learn about modifying
slide masters, see the topics below “Designing Master Slides and Themes” on page 230.
Making Text Subscript or Superscript
You can raise or lower text from its baseline to display it as a superscript or a
subscript. Or if you prefer, you can raise or lower the text just a small amount from its
baseline, incrementally.
First select the text that you want to change.
To make selected text subscript or superscript:
Choose Format > Font > Baseline > Subscript.
m
Choose Format > Font > Baseline > Superscript. m
To raise or lower the selected text incrementally:
Choose Format > Font > Baseline > Raise.
m
Choose Format > Font > Baseline > Lower. m
To restore selected text to the baseline:
Choose Format > Font > Baseline > Use Default.
m
If you frequently use superscripts and subscripts as you type, you can add buttons to
the toolbar so that you can create superscripts and subscripts at the click of a button.
To learn how, see “The Toolbar” on page 21.
Changing Text Capitalization
You can quickly make blocks of text all uppercase or lowercase or format text as a title.
First you must select text or the text box that contains the text for which you want to
change capitalization style.
To change text capitalization, do any of the following:
Choose Format > Font > Capitalization and choose an option from the submenu.
m
To change the text to all capitals, choose All Caps.
