Placing Text Within Shapes

Another of the many new features in Keynote 2 is the ability to place text directly within shapes you've created in Keynote. Shapes can have any kind of color , gradient, or image fill, and the text that you add will be overlaid on the fill. Text inside the shape rewraps as you resize the shape.

To add text to a shape

1.

Using the Shapes menu on the toolbar, place a shape on the slide you'reworking with.

2.

Resize the shape to your liking, and add a color, gradient, or image fill as needed.

3.

Double-click in the middle of the shape. An insertion point will appear, centered in the shape.

4.

Type the text you want in the shape ( Figure 5.36 ).

Figure 5.36. This text is embedded in the shape, moves with the shape, and rewraps as the shape is resized.

Tip

  • You can make the text adjustments available to any Keynote text by selecting the text within the shape and using the options in the Text Inspector.
