26 Chapter 2 Creating a Presentation

To apply a different theme to a slide presentation:

1 Choose File > Choose Theme (or click Themes in the toolbar and choose Theme

Chooser), and then select a theme.

2 Select a slide size.

About slide size: Most projectors work best with slides at the default size, 800 x 600.

Newer ones may display slides well at a resolution of 1024 x 768. If your display is

larger than one of these sizes, you can set a custom slide size for your Keynote

presentation. For more information, see “Changing the Slide Size” on page 121.

3 Click Choose.

You can specify that new documents always use a particular theme.

To specify the theme used for new documents:

1 Choose Keynote > Preferences and click General.

2 Select “Use theme” and click Choose.

3 Select a theme and click Choose.

To modify themes or create your own, see Chapter 9, “Designing Your Own

Master Slides and Themes.” You can also use more than one theme in a presentation;

see “Using Multiple Themes” on page 33.

Kinds of Slideshows

You can make three different kinds of presentations in Keynote, depending on how

the presentation will be used. It’s a good idea to keep the kind of presentation in

mind as you design it.

Â Normal. These presentations are controlled by clicking the mouse or using the

keyboard. By default, a slideshow is normal (interactive) unless you make it a self-

playing or hyperlinks-only slideshow.

Â Self-playing. These presentations advance automatically, like a movie (no user

interaction is possible). You can use this option, for example, to play a presentation

in a kiosk setting. To learn about creating these kinds of presentations, see “Self-

Playing Presentations” on page 113.

Â Hyperlinks only. Viewers navigate through these presentations by clicking

hyperlinks. For more information about creating these kinds of presentations, see

“Hyperlinks-Only Presentations” on page 115.
