Chapter 2 Creating a Presentation 43
To save a Keynote file:
1 Choose File > Save.
2 Type a name for the slideshow and choose where you want to store it.
3 Click Save.
Keynote provides advanced saving options for special circumstances. To see these
options, click the disclosure triangle (to the right of the filename) in the Save dialog.
 When you add sound or movies to your slideshow, Keynote automatically saves
them with the file. This is helpful if you plan to transfer the slideshow to another
computer. If you don’t want to save the file this way, click Advanced Options, and
then deselect “Copy audio and movies into document.” (This option is on by
default.)
If you deselect this option, and then transfer the slideshow to another computer,
you need to transfer the sound and movie files as well. Selecting this option makes
the file larger, so you may want to include media files (using Save As) only when
you’re ready to move the slideshow to another computer.
 If the presentation will be opened on a computer that doesn’t have the theme
installed, select “Copy theme images into document.”
This option ensures that all theme components appear correctly even if the theme is
missing. Selecting this option makes the document file larger.
As you make changes to your slideshow, you can save one previous version.
To save a copy of the previous version when you save a Keynote document:
1 Choose Keynote > Preferences and click General.
2 Select “Back up previous version.”
3 Choose File > Save.
With this preference selected, each time you save your document, the previously
saved version of your document is renamed “Backup of <document name>” and is
saved in the same folder as your document. This backup file does not include the
changes made since the last time you saved; the document that includes the latest
changes remains open. (Even if this option is selected, you won’t get a backup version
the first time you save a document.)
