Most elements of your slideshow can be formatted using the Keynote inspectors. Each inspector focuses on a different aspect of formatting. For example, the Document inspector contains settings for the entire slideshow.
Opening multiple Inspector windows can make it easier to work on your document. For example, if you open both the Graphic inspector and the Text inspector, you’ll have access to all the text- and image-formatting options.
To open a single Inspector window, when none is open, click the Inspector button in the toolbar.
To open more than one Inspector window, choose View > New Inspector.
After the Inspector window is open, click one of the buttons at the top to display a different inspector. Clicking the second button from the left, for example, displays the Slide inspector.
Rest your pointer over buttons and other controls in the inspectors to see a description of what they do.
Another way to have easy access to formatting controls is to use the format bar. To learn more, see The Format Bar.
