In the Theme Chooser, click “Open an Existing File” and locate the document you want

m

in the Open window and click Open.
To open one of the last several documents that you’ve worked on, choose File > Open

m

Recent and choose the document from the submenu, or click Open Recent in the
Theme Chooser, and then select the name of the file you want.
If the document has password protection, double-click the document icon, and then

m

type the password in the field and click OK.

If you see a message that a font or file is missing, you can still use the document.
Keynote replaces missing fonts with a font that’s available on your computer. To restore
the missing fonts to the document, quit Keynote and then add the fonts to your Fonts
folder (for more information, see Mac Help). To make missing movies or sound files
appear, add them back to the document as you did originally. To avoid this problem,
you can save media files as part of the document when saving; see the details in
“Saving a Presentation” on page 31.

Note: If you open a document that was created in iWork ’08, and you want to preserve
it for use with the older version, save it in the same format. See “Saving a Presentation
in iWork ’08 Format” on page 217.
