You have the basic text and you have hyperlinks to move through the show in a nonlinear fashion. Now, it's time to add a little style to the presentation. A few options are listed below:

• Add basic shapes, tables, or charts by clicking the appropriate button in the menu bar.
• Click the Inspector button to complete any of the following tasks:

• Add background music from iTunes or have your presentation play by itself over and over again -- great at an Open House! (Document symbol)
• Choose how each slide moves into the next. (Transitions symbol)
• Change the attributes of fonts, images, tables, charts, and even Quick Time movies.
• Insert music, photos, and movies from iTunes, iPhoto, and iMovie. (Media button)

One feature not found in Microsoft PowerPoint is Keynote 2's ability to project one screen for viewing by an audience and another screen for viewing by the presenter. So, your class might see only Slide 1 on the classroom projector or TV monitor, while you can see both Slide 1 and the next slide, as well as such items as elapsed time, notes, and a clock on your laptop or desktop machine.

Click Keynote>Preferences and then click Presenter Display to explore more options.
