Chapter 1 Keynote Tools and Techniques 15
When you want to create a slide with particular elements—such as a title, a block of
text, a bulleted list, or a graphic—you select the master slide that most resembles what
you need. Master slides contain placeholders, which you replace with your own
content.
 Placeholder text (“Double-click to edit”) shows what your text will look like. Double-
click this text and type your own. To learn more, see “Adding Text” on page 38.
 Media placeholders can hold images, audio files, and movies. Drag your own image or
movie to the placeholder. Although you can drag media files anywhere on a slide
(not only to a placeholder), using media placeholders automatically sizes and
positions the image or movie. To learn more, see “Using Media Placeholders” on
page 88.
You can also add your own elements, such as tables and other objects, to any slide.
