[Item Permalink] Apple Keynote: beautiful presentations easily -- Comment()
I'm polishing a Keynote presentation for tomorrow morning. I haven't used Keynote for all my presentations since getting the software, but the application is looking better all the time. The editing and navigation tools are easy to use, yet powerful. And polishing a presentation is a pleasure. I have made a custom theme, and it works fine. There is still a few details to improve, but this is not shabby at all.

However, I'm still not trusting the software completely, so I rendered the presentation into PDF and QuickTime formats. Just in case something goes wrong with displaying the presentation with Keynote.

Oops: "The White House is vowing a strong retaliatory response after the BBC aired live video of President Bush getting his hair coiffed in the Oval Office as he squirmed in his chair and practiced on the teleprompter minutes before Wednesday night's speech announcing the launch of military operations against Saddam Hussein. The British network broadcast 1 minute and 37 seconds of presidential primping to hundreds of millions of viewers in 200 countries around the world." [t e c h n o c u l t u r e]
