Excellent, Pete! 5 stars!

Question: If I work in Keynote, can I bring what I've done into imovie 09? Maybe just say with imovie till I become better at editing with the tools in that software? Just trying to get a handle on all these great tools.

Thanks for all your help & support.

@chessdude67 You sure can, Tim...

From Keynote choose Share > Export. Choose "Quicktime" as your export option, and you can save a Quicktime Movie of your Keynote right on your desktop. When you launch iMovie, you can import that Quicktime Movie.

you really should do a pages and numbers tut's as well :D

[empowermac]

@y35n00b5 I'm going to get those cranking too! Something to keep in mind... All of the things I have shown you in Keynote behave exactly the same way in Pages and Numbers. Text Boxes, shapes, etc. Try using something you've learned here in Pages, it is exactly the same!

[empowermac]

@djatomic1985 Thanks! I really wish I could make these more often. I'm trying to get them out as quickly as I can!

Love the series, very detailed. Just one question, can you suggest a method for adding some kind of font style selector that you can apply in Keynote in a similar way to Pages. I use Keynote a lot for web page designs and the ability to select a type style for say H1 headlines, subheadings, paragraph text etc. would be invaluable.
