Is it possible to float Master Slide objects above all slide content?

I would like to have text on my master slide to always show above content on each individual slides?
I just started using Keynote, so I'm kind of a beginner, although I've know how to do this in something like inDesign. Obviously Keynote is not a design layout app, but it should at least have some of these basic features, especially since it seems it would be easy to implement.
Thanks in advance to all the Keynote pros out there.

Ah! I didn't see when you originally posted, but, no, there's no way to have Master slide object in "front" of the other stuff. I even tried it with a media placeholder and still, no-go. Be sure to send your feature request to Apple by way of this page.

  • Possible to float an app window over all Spaces?

    Hi Folks,
    I'll give you a couple of examples.
    1) I use a small countdown/stopwatch app that I would like to float over everything, no matter which Space I might be in at the time.
    2) I use Entourage to remind me of appointments, events, things to do etc. It would be mighty handy if the little "Office Reminders" window would come to the front of everything I have open in whatever Space I'm in so I don't have to go hunting for it each time the reminder alert sounds.
    Is making a window float over all the Spaces one of those tricky behind-the-scenes Unix command things? I know nothing about all that, but maybe it's time I learned!
    Cheers!
    Chris

    William,
    Thanks for the info. I'm a bit embarrassed since all I had to do was to look more carefully at the list of possible spaces. I never did see "every space" before.
    Anyway, it has indeed worked for the little timer app which now floats proudly above everything else in every space, but unfortunately it hasn't worked for the "Microsoft Office Reminders.app" which supposedly is a separate app from Entourage, and, as you can imagine, I use it all the time.
    It's rather annoying, actually, as what happens is that the little reminder window opens in whatever space you're in at the time, but if you don't happen to "snooze" or "dismiss" a reminder and then you move on to another space, any new reminder gets added onto the reminder window but in the original space. Then you have to go looking for the reminder window which, if you're using a lot of different spaces, can be well buried. And unfortunately, pressing Fn-F8 or F9 doesn't help because the little reminder window then disappears! Aaarrgghh!
    Oh well. I assume the problem could be fixed by Microsoft or Apple, but it's such an obscure problem that it won't be dealt with.
    But thanks again, William. Very helpful.
    Regards,
    Chris

  • Is it possible to create a PDDoc object directly from the content stream (or byte array) in memory instead from a physical file?

    I want to read a pdf that has been saved to the database and if it has been signed display the signer's name and the sign date to the user.  If the file is first saved to a physical location I can do this with the SDK/ JSObject it there anyway I can do this without a physical file?  This is part of a C# application.

    OK.
    However, if you are using the SDK, then you are using Acrobat – it just may be doing all it’s work hidden.
    So the plugin that you have installed in Acrobat is therefore also hidden, doing its work behind the scenes, on command of your application.

  • Keynote 6.5 Loses Ability to Copy and Paste Master Objects (Titles, Body) From One Master Slide to Another

    This is just a major pain point that I hope is fixed as soon as possible.
    In all Keynote 6 versions of the past (and 5), you were able to do the following:
    1) Copy a Title or Body object (with proper formatting) from one Master Slide to another.
    1a) The slide you would paste it into would have had to have been deleted/unchecked.
    2) The pasted Title and Body objects would then assume the role of the Master's Title and Body Boxes
    Now:
    Instead of assuming the role of the Master Slides Title and Body Boxes, they are simply text box objects. If you were to check "Title" or "Body", the old objects (with probably improper formatting) would still be that slide.

    Below is the EtreCheck report. If Needed I am willing to make a screencast of the problem.

  • Objects in master slide disappear

    Hi,
    I got a problem with my master slides. I don't know why, but in some projects (not all), at some point, some objects (not all) in the master slide disappear. They are in the timeline, but we cannot see them in the document window display nor in the published swf. 
    What's the bug? (I'm using Captivate 5.5)
    Thanks
    LAG

    Hello again
    I totally understand about the visibility on Timeline having no effect on the published output.
    Let me try to explain this differently. Consider your Captivate workspace to be like a piece of paper. Perhaps you lay another piece of paper sized identically to the first on top of the paper. That second piece is colored gray. So it would provide the illusion of a gray background. You insert a caption and you see the caption and the gray background. You later insert another image. Perhaps a small photo. Now you see the caption, the photo and the gray background. But what if the photo were the same size as the paper? Then the whole photo would just cover the gray background. That's what I was trying to get at by turning off visibility in the timeline. Thinking that perhaps you have something large that is just covering things up where you cannot see them.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Master & slide title or object linking?

    greetings,
    i've been using keynote for a few years. i'm using keynote version 5.0.4, which is the current version. i compiled a presentation recently by copying slides from older presentations. i've made a newer master and have reassigned the master slide for the slide to be the same. however, the titles on the slides are not getting relinked to the master slide title. so changes to the master title style are not being reflected in the individual slides for most slides.
    i've played with the "inspector" -> slide -> appearance to see if i can for the title to relink to the master, without success. so far the only way i've found to get the slide titles to connect to the new master is to insert a new slide and copy the slide body and presenters notes to the new slide. then i select the text in the old slide title and "paste & match style" in the new slide.
    but my presentation is around 140 slides. and i don't want to have to do this to all of them to be able to globally control the style of the slide title.
    i've searched some of the posts and haven't seen this addressed before. does anyone have any suggestions about how to relink the slide titles if they are no longer linked?
    thanks for any suggestions.

    ahh! i found it...
    1- select the object, in this case the title
    2- right click
    3- pop-up menu shows "reapply slide master to selection"
    i spent about an hour yesterday fooling around this this, trying different things, and did't figure it out...
    so in case someone else needs it, here it is...

  • Can I put multiple object placeholder in Master slide?

    I would like to know if I can creat multiple object placeholder in Master slide or not.  After searching the disccusion, seems that this problem occur since Keynote 03 and is not improved till Keynote 09 now.  In fact, I would like to make a slide show of multiple photos, but I would like to arrange several photos in one slide and exactly the same position and size in each slide.  So, it would be easiler if I can make a master slide with mulitple object placeholders.  Can anyone help or if there is any alternative ways? Thank you.

    Apple Maps is not a GIS application. It might be one day. For now, you will have to use ArcGIS or something similar.

  • Objects in Master slides staying infront

    Hi I'm wondering if there is an option within keynote to allow objects in master slides to appear in front of objects in slides that that master is applied to.
    Hope this makes sense!!

    Yes, select the Master slide, then
    Chose the "Slide" tab in the inspector, then "Appearance" and select "Allow objects on slide to layer with master"

  • Keynote 6.5 Loses Ability to Keep Master Slide Objects Static for Object Transitions

    A gripe that I'm hoping many of you are as infuriated with as me – and hopefully maybe someone can point out something I am not seeing.
    In past versions of Keynote 6:
    Premise:
    An object is placed on a Master Slide (not a placeholder)
    That master is applied to slides.
    An Object Transition (Cube, Revolve, Pop, Push, Flip, Zoom Perspective) is applied to that slide (which is followed by a slide with the same master)
    Result:
    Only objects not on the master slide would animate during the transition leading to a premium feeling transition.
    Keynote 6.5
    Premise:
    Same as above
    Result:
    All objects animate, including non placeholder Master Slide objects resulting in "too much" happening on screen.
    As a presentation designer who makes a living on Keynote, this is a huge step back. I used to trick Keynote 5.3 into getting the effect that I wanted by taking screenshots of a blank slide and then making that screen shot the background of a slide. It was a time suck, often somewhat pixelated, a huge addition to file size (especially for templating), and cumbersome to make small changes like adjusting position of logos.
    Apple... I hope one of your engineers are reading this and creates a fix for this in the near future.

  • Unhide objects within master slides?

    Hi,
    I have a bunch of flash animations on a master slide in Cp 5.0, and some of them overlap one another, so I right-clicked an animation and chose 'Hide' in order to get it out of the way so I could get to the animation under it. That was apparently a bad idea, because now I can't find a way to unhide it, since the master slides don't have their own timeline.
    In other words, since the object is now hidden, I can't right-click it to 'unhide' it because it is not there to right-click. The animation still plays in F10, so I know its still there, I just can't get to it to edit it. Does anyone know a way to unhide something that has been hidden like this on a master slide? Or, even better, a way to bring up a 'timeline' for the master slide?
    Thanks.

    Here's an image of what it looks like for me. Just clear the X.

  • Add an object placeholder to a master slide

    How do I add an Object Placeholder to a master slide so I can drag and drop photos and have the pictures automatically size themselves to fit the placeholder? (I need to place 400 images, 18 to a slide and manage their builds individually.)

    To add a placeholder to a master, select the master, and then in the Master Slide Inspector palette, select the Appearance tab, and under Layout check the "Object Placeholder" option.
    However, do note that a slide can have only one Object Placeholder on it. If you have a large number of images that need to be sized to certain maximum dimensions, you might find instead that a tool such as Downsize is useful -- it will automatically resize a folder of images to a maximum height or width (and it's only $20). ImageWell also does quick resizing (freeware, although no batch feature).

  • Is it possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to a Master Slide?

    Hello,
    I have been looking into an approach for assigning a keyboard shortcut to the application of a master slide ("Bullets" for example). I tried the keyboard shortcut assignment in System Preferences, but that did not work. I did a quick Google search to see if Master slides can get applied via apple script and then maybe assign a keyboard shortcut to execute the apple script, but that was not too fruitful.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I too have gone through the Premiere Elements 13 keyboard shortcut and cannot find what you seek for the command Applied Effect and a corresponding keyboard shortcut.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2014/10/pe-13-keyboard-shortcuts.html
    Until proven other, I do not believe what you seek is possible in Premiere Elements with the Project Assets/Edit area monitor/Applied Effect Tab/Applied Effects Palette.
    However, there is a possibility for command = Project Assets and a keyboard shortcut to be assigned. Would that work for you? If so, please see Edit Menu/Keyboard Customization/Application/Window and its Project Assets command awaiting a keyboard shortcut.
    Have you considered...
    a. dual monitor system
    b. shrinking Project Assets
    Please review and consider and then we can discuss this further if you want.
    Thank you.

  • Master slide and object animations

    Hi,
    I have a problem. If I apply an animation on some object on a slide, when I play the presentation, the objects on the master slide disappear. This doesn't happen if I apply a transition on the whole slide.
    I tried to play my presentation on a different machine, a macbook, and there is no problem.
    I don't think this is a misconfiguration because if I use two monitor, I can see all the object on the monitor for the speaker, but the problem yet remain on the monitor for the presentation.
    Is there anyone have an idea about the reason?
    thank you

    If it is working on a different machine, it may be there is something wrong with your current install of iWork. I would suggest deleting all the iWork preferences files (located in your Library, in Preferences, delete all of the "com.apple.name" files that have "iWork", "Pages", or "Keynote" in their name), and then re-install the software.
    As an intermediate step, you might try creating a new user account, and see if the problem appears on that account. If not, I'd suggest deleting the preferences in your original account, as indicated above, and see if that solves things.

  • Unable to Paste Objects from Slides into Master Slides

    I'm wondering if I'm missing a step or if anyone else has this problem:
    I'm adding a new master slide to a theme and trying to customize it by copying objects and text boxes I've made on a regular slide onto a master slide. I can copy and paste on the regular slide, but the master slide will not accept any pasted objects, even though they were made in Keynote.
    I can't find any way to unlock a whole slide, or other clue to making the new master slide accept the pasted objects.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    Figured it out...
    1. Open the "problematic" document.
    2. Go to slide with the elements you want to copy (not your master slide)
    3. Open your Inspector box > Slide tab > Appearance tab.
    4. Uncheck ALL components - Title, Body, Slide Number, Object Placeholder.
    5. Go back to the slide and "select all" (or individual elements), and select Edit > Copy.
    6. Go to your Master Slide and paste (done)
    Don't ask me why the software behaves like this, step 4 is the kicker! It doesn't make sense to me, but I'm sure someone with greater knowledge of the app can answer that question.
