Working With Text, Graphics,
and Other Media
By incorporating text, graphics, sound, and movies,
you can create compelling presentations with
Keynote.
It’s easy to add and modify text and the other elements you use in a presentation. This
chapter describes in detail how to add various media to your presentations.
Editing Text and Text Properties
To add text to a text box or shape, simply click to select the text box or shape and
start typing.
To enter and edit text in a text box:
1 Select the text box, or double-click the text, and start typing.
2 Adjust the text color, alignment, and font using the Text Inspector or Font panel, as
described in “Formatting Bulleted Text and Numbered Lists” on page 46.
Adding Text Boxes
Various master slides provide text boxes, but you can add a “free text box” to a slide
and move the box wherever you want it. Free text boxes are similar to the text boxes
provided in various master slides. The main difference is that text in free text boxes
does not appear in outline view.
To create a free text box:
1 Click Text in the toolbar (or choose Insert > Text).
2 In the text box that appears, double-click the text and type.
Note: You can add bullets to paragraphs in free text boxes. To create formatted bullets
(in which all text aligns and the bullet “hangs”), you use the Bullets pane of the Text
Inspector. For details, see “Formatting Bulleted Text and Numbered Lists” on page 46.
