Chapter 2 Creating a Presentation 31

To turn rulers on:

m Choose View > Show Rulers.

To change the unit of measure in the rulers:

1 Choose Keynote > Preferences and click Rulers.

2 Choose an item from the Ruler Units pop-up menu.

Make sure that “Display ruler units as percentage” is deselected. Selecting this option

displays measurements as a percentage of the distance across the slide, rather than in

the chosen unit of measure.

To place the ruler’s horizontal origin point at the left edge of the slide:

m In the Rulers pane of Keynote Preferences, deselect “Place origin at center of ruler.”

After you’ve placed graphics exactly where you want them on the slide, you can lock

them to the slide canvas to prevent them from being accidentally moved as you work.

To lock an object to the slide canvas:

m Select the object and choose Arrange > Lock.

You cannot modify an object that has been locked to the slide canvas. To unlock an

object, choose Arrange > Unlock.

Note: If you often lock and unlock objects, you can add buttons to the toolbar for

these commands. Choose View > Customize Toolbar.

Changing the Appearance and Behavior of Alignment Guides

You can place your own alignment guides on any slide to help you line up objects

where you want them.

To place alignment guides on a slide:

1 Choose View > Show Rulers to make the rulers appear at the top and left side of the

slide canvas.

2 Place the pointer on a ruler and drag to the slide canvas.

3 Drag the yellow guide wherever you want on the slide canvas.

You can add alignment guides to a master slide so that they appear on any new slide

based on that master. For more information, see “Adding Alignment Guides” on

page 132.
