A few common rules apply to all the menus you'll find in Keynote. The program displays a menu command in gray when that command isn't availablewhen nothing is selected or the wrong kind of thing is selected, for example. If you select a menu command that features a black triangleit's actually a right-pointing arrowa submenu appears on the right. Drag your pointer to the right to choose one of the submenu commands.

Finally, menu commands ending in an ellipsis ( ) indicate another window containing more choices will appear when you choose it. You can always try out these commands without fear of anything actually happening to your document, since the window that shows up always contains a Cancel button.
