So now that we've covered where we're going in this tutorial, we want to start with a look at Keynote and we want to start our look at Keynote to create our presentations with just that very task; creating a new presentation. And to do so, we're going to go to the file menu and I'm going to choose in this example here new from theme chooser and the reason I'm going to show this is because you've probably already seen the theme chooser. If you launch Keynote for the first time, you're going to get this very thing and you'll see in a big grid here a bunch of different themed slideshows. Now, some of the themes you've seen before or you may have seen before in different versions or previous versions of iWork. That is true. But there are some definitely some new ones there as well, so as I started out this tutorial, I chose the Sedona, but you can choose of course whatever one you want. We'll choose this vellum theme and we click on choose and there we go. Now, you might have a window that looks like this. You probably don't. If you looked in that dialog box, you notice that the slideshow size, it also gives me an option here about what size to select my slides from the template. So it gave me slides that were too big for this display. This is an 800 by 600 display that I record the tutorials on. But I can change my view and one thing that I do here, one thing I like to do is remember that the view menu has a zoom menu and I can zoom in, zoom out or this is my favorite, fit in window. Now I always have a slide that fits whatever size window I'm working with. So as I resize the Keynote window, you can see that the window area resizes as well. So there we are, and again, the reason why you see that theme chooser that you just saw me invoke right there is because of the Keynote preferences, which you can get to from the Keynote menu or by using command comma. So let's try that out. Command comma and there we go. Ok, the one we're concerned with right now, and don't worry, we'll get to all these options as the tutorial progresses here, but for new documents, the call the presentations documents here, we want to show the theme chooser. Now, that doesn't have to be the default. We can choose it to that and we're going to specify a theme. Maybe we always want Industrial or Sedona and if I choose that and then click on choose, then bingo, Sedona is confirmed there, close. Now, if I create a new slideshow, I can use command N or file new and indeed, there is the Sedona theme that we start to work with just by doing file new. Now, that may be your favorite one, you always come, start your presentations with that particular slideshow, but you can change your mind as well. If you go up to the toolbar here and choose theme, you can always go back to something like that and start your slideshow with a completely different theme, even though your default theme you've set through the preferences may be Sedona. So lots of different ways to start to work with a slideshow. Of course, you can always open an existing slideshow, but that's pretty intuitive and I'm not going to bother with showing you how to double click on a file in order to open up a slideshow. Couple different choices again; new from theme chooser or new and then depending on your preferences will depend on what the selection is.
