Chapter 7. Working with Tables

In presentations, you'll often find it useful to present data in tables. A table's rows and columns make it easy to present complex information in a simple way. Examples of such data would be quarterly financial results, a performance comparison of two or more products, or even a simple list.

Keynote provides an excellent set of tools for creating and formatting tables and their contents. These tools allow you to make even dry financial data visually interesting. Using object builds, you can also make parts of your table animate onto the screen, allowing you to build your points one step at a time. You'll find more information about using animation in tables in Chapter 9.

In this chapter, you'll learn how to use Keynote to create and modify a table, and ensure that tables and their content look the way you intend.
