Keynote
presentations are made up of slides. The slides in the current
presentation are shown at the left of the screen. The selected slide
takes up most of the screen. The slides are built from one of eight
slide templates, which you can modify as needed.
Be aware that there is no way to
switch themes or to access the design of another theme after you start a
new presentation. If you’re used to working with Keynote on a Mac, you
might be disappointed by this.
You can copy and
paste entire slides between presentation documents, though. So if you
want a document that mixes themes, you can achieve it by copying and
pasting.
