The Keynote toolbar provides one-click access to many of the actions you’ll perform as you work in Keynote. You can add, remove, and rearrange toolbar buttons to suit your working style.

To customize the toolbar:
  1. Choose View > Customize Toolbar, or Control-click the toolbar and choose Customize Toolbar.

  2. Make changes to the toolbar as desired.

    To add an item to the toolbar, drag its icon to the toolbar at the top.

    To remove an item from the toolbar, drag it out of the toolbar.

    To restore the default set of toolbar buttons, drag the default set to the toolbar.

    To make the toolbar icons larger, deselect Use Small Size.

    To display only icons or only text, choose an option from the Show pop-up menu.

    To rearrange items in the toolbar, drag them.

  3. When you’ve finished, click Done.

    Here are some shortcuts for customizing the toolbar without choosing View > Customize Toolbar:

    • To remove an item, press the Command key while you drag the item out of the toolbar, or press the Control key as you click the item and then choose Remove Item from the shortcut menu.

    • To move an item, press the Command key while you drag the item.
