2 Working with a Keynote
Document
This chapter explains how to create, open, import, and save
Keynote documents. It also describes how to add and
organize slides, and how to change a slide’s theme, layout, or
master.
Before you start working in Keynote, you may want to go through the tutorial in the
iWork ’08 Getting Started book. It will help you become self-sufficient in Keynote quickly.
Creating or Opening a Slideshow
Each slideshow you create is its own Keynote document. You can create a slideshow by
doing any of the following:
 Create a new Keynote document
 Import a document created in PowerPoint or AppleWorks
 Open an existing Keynote document
Creating a New Keynote Document
To create a new Keynote document:
1 If Keynote isn’t open, open it by clicking its icon in the Dock or double-clicking its icon
in the Finder.
If Keynote is already open, choose File > New.
2 In the Theme Chooser, select a theme and click Choose.
You can change a slideshow’s theme at any time (see “Changing a Slide’s Theme,
Master, or Layout” on page 34), and you can use more than one theme in a document
(see “Using Multiple Themes” on page 35).
In the Theme Chooser, you can also choose a slide size (see “Setting the Slide Size” on
page 171).
