Let's talks in depth about the preferences,
[00:00:05.0]
starting off with the preferences at the top here.
[00:00:08.0]
The first preference is 'Show theme selection dialog when creating new documents.'
[00:00:13.0]
If we have this unchecked like I do, that means the moment that you start Keynote,
[00:00:19.0]
the theme dialog box does not appear - and that's why I did it.
[00:00:24.0]
Now - 'Using smart quotes'. If you use a left quote, it will automatically create the right quote for you,
[00:00:32.0]
without you having to do it, and that's what smart quotes is.
[00:00:36.0]
The next one down the line is 'Check spelling when you type.' What happens is,
[00:00:41.0]
when you make a boo-boo or typo or spelling error,
[00:00:44.0]
it will put an underline underneath the word that you misspelled, letting you know that you made a mistake.
[00:00:51.0]
So that's very good to have as well.
[00:00:54.0]
'Show size and position when moving objects.' What happens is, when you move an object,
[00:01:00.0]
you will see a little dialog appear, and this will show the X and Y position which is the horizontal axis and vertical axis,
[00:01:09.0]
and also show the width and height of that object.
[00:01:13.0]
You also have 'Backup previous version when saving' - you can backup a previous version.
[00:01:19.0]
I like to use pixels as units, and we can change the colors of our guides - go ahead and play with that if you wish.
[00:01:31.0]
And this controls the way the guides are.
[00:01:34.0]
And you want to choose something very bright, something that stands out,
[00:01:38.0]
something that doesn't interfere with the way you work.
[00:01:41.0]
So, we also have pixels as a measurement. 'Place origin at the center of the ruler.' As you're moving an object,
[00:01:49.0]
it will place an origin at the center of the ruler.
[00:01:52.0]
Now, you also have 'Show guides at object center',
[00:01:56.0]
which shows the guides at the object center which you're moving the object around.
[00:02:01.0]
'Show guides at object edges'.
[00:02:03.0]
I suggest having these two checked off for alignment and distribution.
[00:02:08.0]
'Scale slides up to fit monitor'.
[00:02:11.0]
This scales certain slides to fit your monitor, as you're actually presenting.
[00:02:17.0]
'Exit presentation after the last slide'.
[00:02:20.0]
'Present on primary display' or secondary display -
[00:02:24.0]
you can actually have two monitors displaying your Keynote presentation.
[00:02:29.0]
Then the last one we have - 'Use alternate display when viewing slide notes'.
[00:02:34.0]
If you have two displays, you can use a second display to view your slide notes.
[00:02:41.0]
So while your doing your presentation, you have your notes handy that you can read.
[00:02:45.0]
It's like a cheat sheet or a teleprompter so to speak, but it doesn't move.
[00:02:52.0]
And then, we have display preferences.
[00:02:54.0]
[00:02:57.0]
:52.0]
And then, we have display preferences.
