Chapter 10 Designing Your Own Master Slides and Themes 193
4 To allow master objects to interleave with objects added to slides based on that master,
open the Master Slide Inspector, click Appearance, and select “Allow objects on slide to
layer with master.”
For more information about layering objects, see “Moving an Object Forward or
Backward (Layering Objects)” on page 70.
5 To fill the slide background with color or an image, use the Background controls in the
Appearance pane of the Master Slide Inspector.
A common use of background layers is for alpha-channel graphics (graphics with
transparency); you can add objects to a slide and layer them so that they show through
part of the background image.
Adding Alignment Guides to Master Slides
You can create alignment guides to help you place your text and graphics consistently
on each slide. Alignment guides created on a master slide are available when you are
placing objects on any slides based on that master.
To create alignment guides on a master slide:
1 Select the master slide to which you want to add the alignment guides.
2 Click View in the toolbar, and then choose Show Rulers.
3 Place the pointer on a ruler and drag an alignment guide to wherever you want on the
master slide.
To place a horizontal guide, drag from the ruler at the top of the slide.
To place a vertical guide, drag from the ruler on the left side.
You can also turn on gridlines that show on master slides and appear dynamically on
slides. For more information, see “Using Master Gridlines” on page 72.
Defining Default Attributes of Text and Objects
You can define default attributes for text and objects.
For example, you can set up Keynote so that every time you click Table in the toolbar,
the default table is added, formatted with the number of rows and columns, header
and body text font, and border colors you’ve predefined.
To change an element’s default attributes, you create the element with the desired
attributes, and then define the element for a specific master or for all masters in the
theme. If you define the element for one master, the defaults apply to new elements on
slides based on that master. If you define the element for all masters, every new
element in the document uses the defaults.
