e Welcome to Keynote
With Keynote, impressive presentations are just the
beginning. This preface provides an overview of
Keynote features and lists resources for learning
more.
Keynote is a robust program for creating professional-quality presentations. Powerful,
simple tools make it easy for you to deliver compelling presentations, create studio-
quality storyboards and portfolios, and build interactive slideshows. You can
incorporate photos, movies, or music from your iLife libraries, as well as Safari web
snapshots.
Present your data using any of the charts and tables built right into Keynote. Use the
handsome and versatile themes that come with Keynote, or customize themes to suit
your specific needs. Add engaging animations to text and tables, and save your ideas
with comments.
Your Keynote presentation can be viewed in several ways. You can watch it on a
computer, project it from a computer to a large screen, or print it. You can also export
your presentation as a set of image files or to Flash, QuickTime, PowerPoint, HTML, or
PDF format so that it can be viewed on other computer platforms. (For more
information about viewing options, see Chapter 8, “Viewing, Printing, and Exporting
Your Slideshow.”)
