56 Chapter 3 Working with Text
Changing the Inset Margin of Text in Objects
You can change the amount of space between text and the inside border of a text box,
shape, or table cell. This measurement is called the inset margin. The amount of space
you specify is applied equally around the text on all sides.
To set the spacing between text and the inside of a text box, shape, or table cell:
1 Select the text box, shape, or table cell. (If the insertion point is inside the object, press
Command-Return to get out of text editing mode and select the object.)
2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text Inspector button, and then click Text.
3 Drag the Inset Margin slider to the right to increase the space between text and the
inside border of the object, or type a number in the Inset Margin box and press Return.
You can also click the arrows to increase and decrease space.
Setting Indents for Lists
To indent bulleted lists, numbered lists, and ordered lists, you use the Text Inspector.
See “Using Bulleted, Numbered, and Ordered Lists (Outlines)” for details.
Using Bulleted, Numbered, and Ordered Lists (Outlines)
Keynote provides pre-formatted bullet and numbering styles for creating simple or
ordered lists (outlines). Bulleted and numbered lists are simple lists without nested
hierarchies of information like you would see in an outline.
Generating Lists Automatically
When you use automatic list generation, Keynote automatically formats a list for you
based on what you type. To use this feature, first choose Keynote > Preferences, click
Auto-Correction, and make sure that “Automatically detect lists” is selected.
Here are ways to automatically generate lists:
m To create a bulleted list, type a bullet (•), a space, some text, and then press Return. To
type a bullet, press Option-8.
m To create a list with labels that are asterisks (*) or hyphens (-), type an asterisk or a
hyphen, a space, some text, and then press Return.
m To create a list with labels that are numbers, letters, or Roman numerals, type the
number, letter, or Roman numeral; a period; a space; and some text. Then press Return.
You can use any of the character formats on the numbering style pop-up menu in the
Text Inspector. To access this menu, in the Text Inspector click Bullets and choose
Numbers from the Bullets & Numbering pop-up menu.
Specify how much space you
want around text inside a
text box, shape, or table cell.
