Why on earth isn't the masters tab visible?

I usually use them first, then add extra boxes if I need them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512715256828672168.post-4542544146445739852007-09-03T10:32:00.000-05:002007-09-03T10:32:00.000-05:00<B>#1 you didn't use the title and bullet boxes on the master slides, which means none of your text will show up if you ever use Outline mode.</B><BR/><BR/>How would you set it up with Title and Bullet boxes?<BR/><BR/><B>#2 You didn't make the text you DID add into a Text Placeholder using the Format>Advanced menu.

If you had, ALL text you designated that way would be editable on the regular slides.

If you do this, your theme will have a real icon in the theme selector, instead of just a blank thumbnail.<BR/><BR/>There are also a few other little tricks that are found in the layout>advanced menu, such as designating the default shape, text, charts and table styles.<BR/><BR/>You can find a few other keynote tutorials at Keynoteuser.com though this tip isn't covered specifically, and we're in the process of writing some more for the new site that's being built.<BR/><BR/>By the way, theme making in Keynote 08 is MUCH easier thanks to that tiny little feature you found-media placeholders. Before this themes had to use photo cutouts, which were slide sized images with holes in them that had to be created outside Keynote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512715256828672168.post-71652991461111813402007-09-03T03:01:00.000-05:002007-09-03T03:01:00.000-05:00Wow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512715256828672168.post-72163593415104431662007-09-03T00:03:00.000-05:002007-09-03T00:03:00.000-05:00Thank you!!!!
