How to Create Slideshows in Keynote on a Mac
- 1). Click the "Keynote" icon in your Dock to launch the program. Scroll through the selection of templates, and allow your mouse to run over each option to see the various slide layouts available within that template. Click the template you want to begin a new slideshow.
- 2). Click the title or subtitle to delete the placed text and add your own text. Click the "Colors" and "Fonts" buttons on the far right of the format bar to change the color and font of your text.
- 3). Click "New," located on the far left of the format bar, to add a new slide. In the task pane named "Slides" on the left, you can see thumbnails of all of your slides numbered and in order. Add as many slides as you wish. Click "Master," also in the format bar, while in a specific slide to change that slide's layout to another one within the template.
- 4). Click the "Inspector" button on the right of the format bar, which will open a small window containing options to add different effects to your slideshow. Click the "Media" button next to "Inspector" to add photos, video or audio to each slide.
