Keynote Basics / Using Text
Subtitles of the Movie
OK, here's a little slide show that I created. You see it has: 'welcome to our pet show', 'the winners are' - and it shows 3 items and some bullets. I'm going to open up the Inspector. And what I'm going to do is select the text and double click the color well, choose crayon. As of right now, the color really isn't changing, and there's a reason for this. Let's go back one more time, click the color well again, and now change the colors. You have to make sure that your text is completely selected. Select the text, make sure you completely select it, and choose one of the color crayons, and you get some different colors. Now, we're going to close the Inspector out and go to our font. Now, what we're going to do is change the font to something a little more fancier. The word 'the winner' will have Caslon. And for the title 'welcome to our pet show', we'll also have same font. And we close the font out. We're going to open up the image library, and you choose the file, the Keynote file which is a library. And a slideshow will open up, but each slide will be an image. As you can see I'm going to scroll up here and pick an image of a globe. Double click that slide, click on the globe. And do Edit>copy. Let me move this out of the way for now. Go back to my document, click in an clickable area such as a text box, and paste. The globe becomes imported, but it's up to you to choose one of those handlebars, or those points, and scale down your globe, and position your globe in the middle. And the guides will help you along And if you really want absolute positioning, I highly suggest using the arrow keys on your keyboard to nudge the graphic into place. There are other ways to align things. We're going to create a text box, and you see it's right on top of my globe. So what we'll do is move this over, and you see a guide comes out. We'll select the text, and type 'the world', enter, 'will be there!' You've got to click on the edge of the text box slowly and carefully, and you can use the arrow keys to nudge your text box up and over. If you want to get technical, you can take it a step further. I'll just nudge this up a little bit more. You can drag a guide from your ruler, click and pull down a guide from the ruler, and you can use the guide to align your objects correctly. And that'll help the absolute positioning. d that'll help the absolute positioning.
