How to Use Keynote for the iPad

Using Keynote for the iPad can allow you to create professional and portable presentations quickly. The built-in program offers a selection of 44 themes, pre-built images and a slide navigator that allows the easy shuffling of your presentation. Creating a presentation on Keynote is a fairly easy process that can be learned by reviewing a basic demonstration.http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/keynote.htmlhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLixGNMVCMM

You can use Keynote to create presentations for business, school or even social activities. The presentations can be done on the fly, or you can pull in other images, graphs and objects for a comprehensive reporting option. Learn to use this application so that you are able to craft presentations whenever an opportunity arises.http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/video.html

Step 1: Start a New Presentation on Keynote

Activate the program by pressing the application icon on your home screen. Turn your Apple iPad to landscape mode, as the application will only work in this orientation. Press the plus button icon on the bottom of your screen to create a new presentation, then select the template you would like to feature on your presentation. If you are unfamiliar with how to activate programs on your iPad, please see your iPad documentation for further instructions.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLixGNMVCMM

Step 2: Add Objects

Press the picture icon in the upper right-hand corner of your iPad screen. Select an image you would like to feature on your slide. The picture will appear on your page. If you would prefer a chart, select the "Charts" tab and press the picture of the chart you want to place on your presentation. Tap and hold your inserted image to place it where you want it to appear on the screen. Tap on the corner and adjust the size of the image bigger or smaller by dragging the line box around the image closer to the image or away from the image.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLixGNMVCMM

Step 3: Add Text

Insert a title box by pressing the picture icon, then the "Shapes" tab. Select the shape you would like for a page title or text box. Once the shape appears on your screen, move it and adjust the shape in the same manner as objects. Double tap the box and a virtual keyboard will appear. Type in your preferred text on your iPad, then tap off your keyboard to set your text. You can adjust the size, format and appearance of the text by pressing the text box, then pressing the "i" icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLixGNMVCMM
