![]() One last thing about the Keynote app: it has a built in pointer-press and hold any point on the iPad when in presentation mode (need to tap the ‘play’ icon to get to the presentation mode) and a pointer appears which can be moved to any area of the screen. This trick took some effort to figure out but it really works! There is a trick, however, to inserting videos: they have to be emailed and pulled in using the reply/forward/save option in the e-mail app where they will show up as a video in the Media section of the insert tool. The insert option allows you to insert media (photos and video), tables, charts, and shapes. Once the presentation starts shaking, select the ‘share’ (curved arrow), duplicate (‘+’ sign), or the delete option. ![]() There are also options for inserting shapes into key and the app has multiple ‘undo’ options but holding the ‘undo’ will allow for the selection of ‘redo.’ Tap and hold a slide to: cut, copy, delete, or skip (slides are arranged vertically along the left side of the iPad screen). Here is a quick fix: plug in an Apple Airport Express (no cable required) then connect both devices to that WiFi and you are ready to go. One thing to keep in mind: Remote will only run with WiFi enabled, not with Bluetooth as stated in Apple Support Some of the fixes offered by others range from running third party-plugins to turning off the firewall, none of which I really care for. Apple previously sold Keynote as part of. Note: using an iTouch or iPhone to run your presentation will require another app called ‘Remote’ ($0.99). Keynote is a presentation software application developed by Apple originally for their Mac OS X operating system. The ‘tool’ symbol in the menu allows for sharing and printing slides, along with a ‘find’ option, an ‘adding notes’ option, and an ‘advanced’ option for slide numbers, interactivity, looping and using your iTouch or iPhone to run an iPad presentation. Tap the ‘play’ symbol to start the presentation and pinch to stop the presentation. There are several templates for new presentations, tap one of these and double tap to enter text. What are some basic things to know from about Keynote from the outset? To start Keynote, simply tap “Presentation,” tap the + sign and tap on ‘Create Presentation.’ If, however, you wish to import a presentation instead of starting a new presentation, choose from one of three locations: iTunes, iDisk, or a server. In fact, you will be running your first presentation within minutes of purchasing Keynote! That said, Keynote is easy to use and the Help section is very straight forward. Keep in mind that no app will ever run like the complete version you would use on a computer, this much you ought to know going into the iPad world of apps. The first app up for review is Keynote, the little brother/sister to its full-blown sibling Keynote that runs on Macs and is similar in many respects to PowerPoint. Rating given due in part to inability of app to import audio and the round about method of inserting video Not difficult to master and rather intuitive. A presentation program that runs in landscape mode, rather robust, easy to use, and integrates well with desktop presentations files.
