Fixing Spelling Errors

Spelling errors are common when creating any sort of text. Regardless of where errors came from, you'll want to catch them in your presentation before it goes in front of an audience.

The text that you copied has a few spelling errors. They were placed there on purpose for this exercise.

1.	Click slide 5 in the slide organizer. Look closely at the text block; words underlined in red are misspelled .
2.	Choose Edit > Spelling > Spelling. The Spelling window opens. It allows you to browse spelling errors and suggests replacement words.
3.	The first spelling error on slide 5 is "takin." Select "taking" from the Guess list and click Correct.

4.	The next spelling error is "seefood." Select "seafood" from the Guess list and click Correct.
5.	The next highlighted word is "Ripley's." This word is spelled correctly. Click the Ignore button.
6.	The next spelling error is "Maratime." Select "Maritime" from the Guess list and click Correct. When Keynote finishes checking the active slide, it goes to the next slide in the document that it thinks contains errors.
7.	There are no additional errors in this document, so you can close the Spelling window.
8.	You can check your work by comparing it to 01Presentation1_Stage5.key.

Although text is often the most important part of a presentation, it is the supporting media that can truly make a presentation special. Keynote supports a wide variety of media formats, including formats for graphics, sound, and movies. The heart of this graphic support is QuickTime, the versatile media player on your Mac. In fact, if you can open a file in QuickTime, you can use it in Keynote. This great flexibility makes it easy for you to design enhanced presentations.

While Keynote supports several formats, some work better than others. Also, by optimizing your files, you can make your presentation files smaller, allowing smoother playback and easier portability. Fortunately, preparing your files is easyyou have all the tools you need on your Mac by default. By harnessing the friendly, flexible iLife applications, you can get the job done.

Keynote allows you to browse your iLife media libraries.
