I also don't see any great scientific themes. One gripe, and powerpoint suffers from this too-I'd like to be able to better customize themes (I like how some have auto-rotated images in them-but would like to do this on my own terms). So whatever I do has to be fully windows ppt compatible, and usually a version behind (ie ppt 2003 windows). I think again I'm a victim of living in a windows world-most of the time when I give talks, I don't have the luxury of using a mac unless it's my mac (swapping presentation PCs can be annoying to the audience though). Overall I liked it quite a bit, but not enough to spend 80 bucks on it. As it is I had to re-do several slides to get this transition to function. So I have an object on slides 1 and 2, but it's an older talk or I didn't create the second slide properly-it'd be nice to be able to ID each object so that transition would work properly. The transition that moves your objects from slide 1 to slide 2 (you know-the one that moves the playing cards around)-that would be a lot better if you could assign each object a number. Also, by default keynote was set to present on the secondary monitor, which makes no sense for a laptop plugged into a projector. I got confused too by having the next slide there-it was too easy to jump ahead without advancing the slide. I couldn't replicate the problem after the fact, it only happened when it counted. Kinda bad to fail like that during a presentation. There was lag, the next slide didn't show up right away, and when it did it didn't have a transition. My biggest disappointment was when I gave a talk, there was some sort of lag that meant a couple of my transitions did not happen at all. There were things I really liked, though I now seem some of these are also on powerpoint mac (those little alignment lines that show up when you're trying to drag-center some object). I have to admit that I didn't venture into pages or numbers, as I'm an established word user because I need to share documents frequently and I'm hooked on endnote.īut I gave Keynote a whirl, and I have one of the late 2008 macbooks.
