Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Installing Keynote requires Mac OSX 10.2 (Jaguar) with 256 RAM and a G3 or G4. The installation process is as smooth as you would expect from Apple. However, you should be warned of the following: first, installing requires having administrator permissions; second, if you are not accustomed with Mac OSX, you need to double click on the keynote.pkg to begin the installation. Perhaps Apple could make that more obvious for first time or less experienced Mac OSX users. The whole installation process takes about four minutes.

Keynote is targeted towards current Macintosh PowerPoint users, as well as users who would like to create presentations but do not want to buy the whole Microsoft Office application. Keynote makes it very easy to create a presentation. You begin creating a slide presentation by selecting one of 12 themes. A theme defines the presentation's design (colour, "look and feel"); users are also free to design their own customised themes and templates. After selecting a theme you then choose how you want the information displayed eg: having the title displayed at the top or the middle of the slide. As with "themes", Apple have provided multiple layout options; alternatively, users have the freedom to design and create their own templates (this is similar to PowerPoint's template functionality).

Apple has made it easy to edit images and text within a slide. Alignment guides and rulers help you to align and centre images and text on the slide canvas. You can also build tables and charts that can import data from Excel. Keynote's versatility is further highlighted by supporting the standard graphic file formats eg: JPEG, PDF, MOV, GIF, TIFF as well as accepting various multimedia file types such as FLASH, MP3 and MOV--you can even add a file from your iTunes music library to your Keynote slide.

Finally, if you are inclined to use Keynote but are worried that your existing PowerPoint files will become useless or that you will not be able send your keynote slides to Window users then worry no longer: Apple has made sure that Keynote can import and export PowerPoint files. --Parvesh Chhibber

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthy competitor for PowerPoint, 2 Mar 2003
It's hard to review Keynote without comparing it to PowerPoint on every count. Luckily the comparison is favourable: the workflow is faster, the default themes are actually usable, and the typography and graphics are simply beautiful. In fact, the graphs produced by Keynote are so good-looking that you'll easily end up using them in documents and on the web, not just in your presentations. This has already saved me tons of time I would otherwise have spent in Photoshop.

While Keynote, like PowerPoint, has an outline editing mode, it is clearly focused on direct manipulation of the slides themselves. For visual people this makes it easier and faster to get to the look you want. For others it gives more ammo to shoot oneself in the foot.

A couple of typical 1.0 problems abound. The PDF and QuickTime exports aren't as good as they could be. It's also impossible to automatically run through presentations without manual mouse clicks.
