Changing Border Style and Color

For drawn objects (shapes), chart elements, and table cells, you can choose a style and

color for the object’s border, or you can specify no border. You can also put a border

around imported images. You set border line style and color using the Graphic

Inspector and the Colors window.

To set the line style and color of an object’s border:

1

Select the object that you want to modify.

2

In the Graphic Inspector, choose a line style (or None) from the Stroke pop-up menu.

3

To change the line thickness, type a value in the Stroke size field (or click the arrows).

4

To change the line color, click the color well and select a color.

5

To give a line endpoints, such as arrowheads or circles, choose left and right

endpoints from the pop-up menus.

Note: Keynote also provides shapes in the form of arrows and double-headed arrows.

You can add one using the Insert menu or the Shapes button in the toolbar.
