The Warnings Window

When you import a document into Keynote, or export a Keynote document to another
format, some elements might not transfer identically. The Warnings window lists any
problems encountered. You might get warnings in other situations, such as saving a
document in an earlier version of the application.

If problems are encountered, you’ll see a message enabling you to review the
warnings. If you choose not to review them, you can see the Warnings window at any
time by choosing View > Show Document Warnings.

If you see a warning about a missing font, you can select the warning and click
Replace Font to choose a replacement font.

You can copy warning messages and paste them into a document for reference later;
these messages could be useful for diagnosing problems.

Keynote documents.

This chapter provides tips on how to quickly save your presentation while you work
and how to protect your documents with a password.

Keynote works seamlessly to open PowerPoint and AppleWorks presentations, making
it easy to continue work on presentations you’ve already created in other applications,
or to collaborate with others who are using other applications.

To learn about saving a Keynote document in PowerPoint or another format, see the
topics below “About Exporting a Slideshow to Other Formats” on page 217.
