Keynote Basics / Master Slides

Subtitles of the Movie

Let's work with master slides. Here we have an empty slide, and this is slide number 1 as you can see. I can choose a master slide. For example, bullets. I could also resize my entire canvas from the bottom left pull-down menu. I can change the percentage of my canvas. And this is very helpful in a lot of ways. I'm going to go ahead and add some text, some dummy text here. If I hit enter, of course it adds another bullet. And the more I hit enter, the more bullets get added. Now I'll choose a master slide, which is a different layout that you can pick and choose - and these are defaults. If I pick and choose another layout, you see it gets rid of my bullets. But if I choose another bulleted layout, it's going to rearrange the bullets I created. And there you see, the title, and of course the bullets. I can add a shape, and place the shape over where a photo could go. Place a photo in this box. And notice that you see the position and width and height dialog box as I'm dragging the object out. And there, if I move it, you see a guide goes across the screen, and it shows the position of that object, along with some other information. And now I can add another slide by hitting the plus symbol, and that adds another slide in my slide show. And then I can pick and choose the layout for that particular slide. And you can double click the text and type what we like, and I could also change the bulleted text. And every time I hit enter, it adds another bullet. And I'll change this with another layout. And you will see that the bullets are still preserved - bullets to the right. And there you go, you see the content is preserved, unless you choose blank. So you see, you can pick and choose several layouts. Let's go ahead and change the title for this box: let's call it 'Woman and a dog'. Now I going to import a graphic for the first time. Very simple, very basic - you go to the edit menu, choose place and then choose your graphic. And we have to go hunting for the graphic in our lesson files. We have to open up our lesson files. I'm going to choose png. And there you see. Now if I move this graphic down a little bit, you'll see the crosshairs are telling me that it's dead center in the canvas. And I could use the handlebars on the edge of the graphic to manipulate the shape of the graphic. ic to manipulate the shape of the graphic.
