Overview of Keynote

You create a slideshow using a

theme

—a family of master slides—to ensure a

handsome and cohesive look throughout your presentation. Master slides provide

predesigned layouts for various kinds of slides, with coordinated fonts, textures, chart

properties, and more. Each theme contains a variety of master slides, making it easy to

add titles, bulleted text, and graphics.

As you work on your slides, you may want to zoom in or out to get a better view of

what you are doing.

To zoom in or out on the slide canvas:

m

Choose View > Zoom > [

zoom level

]. Or choose a magnification level from the pop-up

menu at the bottom left of the slide canvas.

The Slide Organizer

Use the slide organizer at the left side of the Keynote window to organize the slides in

your presentation. In the organizer, you can rearrange slides by dragging them, and

you can indent slides to group them.

The slide organizer has two views: navigator view, which is most useful for graphics-

intensive presentations, and outline view, best for presentations that are mainly text.

To change from one view to the other:

m

Choose View > Outline or View > Navigator (or click View in the toolbar and choose

an option).

To hide the slide organizer:

m

Choose View > Slide Only.

Navigator View

In navigator view, the slide organizer displays a thumbnail image of each slide in your

presentation, making it easy to see the flow of graphics-rich presentations.

To help you organize your presentation as you work, you can group slides by

indenting them, creating a “visual outline” of the slideshow. You can show or hide

groups of slides by clicking the disclosure triangles. You can also skip slides so that

they will not appear when you present your slideshow.
