  Keynote Plays Ball with PowerPoint
Subject:   Keynote 1.5 suggestions
Date:   2003-09-15 05:36:49

This article neglects to mention that Keynote can import a Flash file.


Some features I would like to see in next version are:
- a PowerPoint style Slide Sorter - where you can see all the slides and move them around to re-order
- a font menu - where font, size and effect (bold, italics etc) can be selected rather than having to use the property inspector


i.e. almost a "PowerPoint" mode where it does most of what PP can do, except better!

    Quite right about Flash, but that support is provided by QuickTime automagically as part of OS X, and I did say :-) that Keynote supports every graphics format that OS X does. (If you're not sure, double click on a .swf file from the Finder, you'll see it open in the QT player).

    As far as feature suggestions, well, everybody has 'em that uses it. Please do use the "Provide Keynote Feedback" item on the Keynote menu - the developers are much more likely to see it than if you post it here (though I hope the developers will read this discussion too!).
