2 Creating a Presentation

This chapter outlines the basic tasks and steps for

completing a professional-quality slide

presentation.

Step 1: Select a Theme

To start a Keynote project from scratch, double-click the Keynote icon and select a

theme.

By using a Keynote theme, you can create an attractive presentation without having

to do a lot of design work. Each Keynote theme includes a set of templates (called

master slides) with styled text, bullets, layouts, and other formatting features already

set for you. Keynote themes come in a broad variety of textures and moods to suit

different kinds of presentations.

Whenever you create a new Keynote document, you must select a theme in the

Theme Chooser. You can easily change the theme of a Keynote slideshow at any time.

You can also make Keynote use a particular theme for new documents.

Importing a PowerPoint or AppleWorks Presentation

If you already have a slide presentation that you created in Microsoft PowerPoint or

AppleWorks, you can import it into Keynote and continue to work on it. Simply drag

the PowerPoint or AppleWorks document icon onto the Keynote application icon.

The document opens in Keynote and you can select a theme.

You can also export Keynote documents to PowerPoint. For more information, see

“PowerPoint” on page 127.
