Keynote master slide guides

I have created a grid using guidelines in the master slide and I can't seem to view them when I click on my slides. It references them when I placing a shape for instance but it doesn't seem to display them when I'm on a slide. Is there perhaps a solution for this?

Guides on the master will not appear on individual slides. The work around is to create a slide with your guides, then duplicate that slide as many times as you need. You can then delete that slide when your ready to present.

  • Keynote Master Slide - body levels

    Does anyone know how to increase the number of body levels (indents) on the keynote master slides? At present it seems to be limited to Body Level 5 - but I would like to create styles for a greater number of indents.
    Thanks in anticipation...

    The limit is 5, but you could set a bunch of tab stops so that all you need to do his hit tab to move over. It should act the same, even though can't see more than 5 on the master slides.

  • Keynote- Master slide

    I have a presentation that I want to add alignment guides to the master so I don't have to do it for eash slide. I followed the directions in the users guide but nothing. Is there a solution to building alignmnet guides in the master a have them show on every slide in the group.

    Most alignment guides only show up when an item meets their requirements.
    For instance, if you place a picture and move it to the space where a guide is, it will 'pop' to the location and hesitate there and the guide will be shown while the object is at the guide line (usually centered, but you have the option to show the guide lines at the edge of an object)
    There is no way of having the guides visible at all times on the normal slides. Only the master slides. You won't be able to have them 'show' in every slide based off the master slide, but they will definitely still be available, and will be displayed as needed.

  • Master Slide query

    Hi,
    I had a question regarding the Keynote master slides;
    1) Can the master slide be animated?
    2) If so, can you have one animated master slide underneath an entire presentation? If so, is there a maximum running time?
    3) If not, when transitioning between master slides, can we cross dissolve, or is it a hard cut?
    Hope you are having a great day!

    1 - master slides do not have the ability to run animations
    2 - see answer 1
    3 - master slides do not use transitions,  transition are applied to (standard) slides

  • How do I set up a master slide in Keynote that provides placeholders for multiple images?

    I came across an article in Mac|Life (Oct 2012 p90) titled "Create a Stylish Slideshow".  The steps include creating a master slide that allows for you to add multiple photos.  My master slide list for all themes allows for only one photo per slide.  What am I missing and how can I set up a slide to which I can add multiple photos as they do in this article?  Yes, I am using Keynote '09 v5.3.

    Thanks for the info.  Following the instructions which are covered in chap 12 of the User Manual, I found that I cannot use shapes as placeholders.  The only success I experienced was if I used an actual photo image.  With photos I could select  Define as Media Placeholder, with Shapes, the only option was to Define as Text Placeholder.  I will address this with a thorough review of chapter 12.  
    My initial problem was that I assumed that all themes in Keynote possessed the same set of Master slides.  When I found this not to be the case I looked at each theme and identified 12 of the 44 provided different master slide options which provided placeholders for more than 1 photo (a few provided up to 6).  For helpful information for others, here is a listing of those themes that provide master slides for more than 1 photo:  Editorial, Kyoto, Brushed Canvas, Typeset, Craft, Stock Book, Blue Print, Vellum, Modern Portfolio, White Corners, Storyboard, Formal. 
    Thanks again.  Your feedback got me on the right track to resolving my problem.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can't change master slide in Keynote

    Phong, of Apple Support was able to finally help.  Kudos Phong!
    Test:
    1.  Open a new presentation
    2.  Edit / View / Edit Master Slide
    3.  If the edits are not saved, then there is an issue.
    In addition, the presentation froze and I could not make any changes, preview, nor play the presentation.
    Solution: 
    1.  Move the Keynote App to trash
    2.  Reboot
    3.  Open App Store (log in if needed)
    4.  Go to Purchases
    5.  Keynote should show purchased, not "Installed"
    6.  Click the "Installed" radio button
    7.  Reinstall the Keynote App
    This corrected all my Keynote problems.

  • Changing multiple master slides on keynote 6

    No,    you can only access one master slide at a time.

  • Master Slide Media Placeholder in Keynote '09

    I would like to make a master slide that is 100% media placeholder for videos, but can't quite seem to find the correct way to do it.
    If I insert a shape, it won't allow me make the placeholder a media one, and if I drag something into it anyway, it (of course) shrinks to fit around the graphic.
    If I try to take a slide that already has a media placeholder on it and try to adjust so that it fills the whole slide, its proportions are constrained and I can't do it.
    Is there a way to "unconstrain" the proportions of a media placeholder or a way to create a custom one? I seem to be missing something. Thanks.

    Use the slide that already has a placeholder. Select the placeholder and go to the inspector, Metric Tab (sixth tab). There you have the option to Constrain proportions.

  • Master Slides - Need alternate solution.

    I am an Apple Keynote/Aperture user who desires to create multi-image slides using a grid in which individual photos are deposited into cells like picture frames - sort of like a school yearbook layout. I have experimented with creating master slides using "Tables" and "Shapes" within Keynote, but find that they have limitations:
    1. Using shapes in Master Slides, it is extremely difficult to get equal-sized borders between images using the "align" and "distribute" functions, particularly so if the cells are different sizes. As you are aware, these functions only operate on a horizontal or vertical basis. Is there a function that would automatically align all the cells on a slide in both dimensions?
    2. With Tables, I cannot zoom or re-orient the image other than "fit" or "fill".
    I would like to have a variety of various "grids" stored and available for use again and again. I am guessing that some software manufacturer makes a variety of template type grids - like the type graphic artists must use - that can be employed within the Apple system. If these do exist it would make my job a lot simpler. So my question is: On what computer user's forum should I raise this question?
    Thanks for your time and I would appreciate any thoughts you might have.

    1. If I click "create a new master slide", Keynote duplicates the nearest master in the list. Is there a way to start out with a blank master?
    No. As you say, creating a new master slide always just duplicates the currently selected master
    2. I dragged some images from Finder into media
    placeholders in a new slide. Later when I came back to Keynote I found the images had been replaced with a grey background, outline "X" and question mark. What happened?
    Keynote doesn't treat images the way it treats audio and video i.e. images are always copied into the presentation, whereas with audio and video you have a choice to simply link to them. You wouldn't see the 'broken' image holders if you, say, dropped some images into a presentation and then moved/deleted the original images in the Finder. Keynote would be using the local copies it made of the images, and would have no dependency on the originals.
    The only way I could duplicate this was to actually view the package contents of the presentation and manually delete the local copies of images that Keynote had stored. When I did that to a presentation and then opened it, I did indeed see the grey boxes with question marks that you describe.
    Can you describe in more detail what you did between placing the images and then "coming back to Keynote" to find that the images had broken. Was it really just a case of closing the file, and then opening it again?
    3. What is the proper way to select a master slide when creating a new slideshow slide?
    I'm not sure exactly what you mean here. Are you talking about the best way to choose which master slide is applied to a new slide that you create in a presentation?
    Similar to creating a new master slide, you don't really have much control over which master is used. Keynote will use the master of whichever slide you have selected when you add the new slide.
    After that you can do one of 3 things to choose which master is applied to the slide:
    1. Choose one from the Masters button on the toolbar
    2. Drag a master from *Master Slide* area in the slide viewer onto the newly created slide in the Slides area
    3. In the Slide tab of the inspector, under Appearance choose a master from the list of thumbnails

  • Master Slide Builds Bug? Fix?

    USing Keynote 3.0.1 on 10.4.5
    When I create a new Theme by creating new master slides with builds built into them I encounter a problem.
    On one of my Master Slides (Title & Bullets) I have a title box, an object (Line) and a bullet text box.
    I have set the Title to build automatically after transition, then I have set the Object (Line) to build automatically after the first build (Title).
    I have then set the bullet box to build the first bnullet automatically after the Object and each bullet on click after that.
    This has all been set at the Master Slide level.
    When I apply that master slide to a slide within my presentation, the build order changes. The Object builds first instead of the Title. To get the correct order I have to re-apply the master to the particular slide.
    This causes much confusion when I distribute the theme to my colleagues who are not as computer litererate as myself.
    Is this a known bug? Is there a fix for it?
    Thanks in advance

    it won't keep the new format when pasting the text box on other slides.
    Why are are you pasting the page number on to other slides when the master slide will place the slide number on all slides correctly formatted? There is no reason to do that.

  • Master slide and table default - Very confusing behavior

    This odd behavior cost me the last two hours, so I just wanted to check with you folks if you know a work-around.
    Been fiddeling with a new Theme I am building and I was just about to define the default look for a table. Generated a table in the master slides window, applied all formatting I want and I was just about to apply it as the default for this theme (or even this master slide) and POOF - as soon as Keynote finished the
    Format>Advanced>Define Image for Current Master
    the table reverted back to the look of a previous version. No matter how often I truied to re-create the intended look, it always came back in this half-baked form.
    Very irritating, this behavior and I am sure that there is a fix. Anybody any ideas?
    Best Regards,
    /Dirk

    Ok, so I built a new master theme - same effect. The background colors and text formatting for the body of the table would not hold.
    Then I placed a placeholder object into the master slide for the table, did all my formatting, applied it and voila - it carried over.
    Seems that the palceholder did the trick for me.
    Thanks for your support, brian
