About Manipulating, Arranging, and Changing the Look of
Objects
In general, the way you select, arrange, and manipulate objects in Keynote works the
same, whether you’re working with images, shapes, movies, tables, chart elements, or
text boxes. For most objects, you use the same controls to resize and reorient them, as
well as to add shadows, reflections, border styles (stroke), fill color or image, and more.
The following topics in this chapter describe the general tools and techniques for
working with all kinds of objects in Keynote. To learn about the additional specifics
that pertain to formatting text, and about designing tables and charts, see the relevant
chapters in this guide.
