Import PowerPoint shapes into Keynote
Authored by: Tulse on Jun 15, '04 01:54:26PM

I don't get all the functionality described using Keynote 1.1.1 and PowerPoint X (Service Release 1) on OS X 10.3.4. I can indeed create and copy shapes from PowerPoint to Keynote, but I can't change the fill colour or any features of the stroke (colour or weight). Further, I can change size, but even if I use the side handles, the proportions are preserved (the shape only gets bigger or smaller, not skinnier or wider). Opacity <I>is</I> manipulable, and I can add shadows.

Even with these restrictions, this is a handy new capability. If only Apple would let you create shapes natively in Keynote...

If only postings were editable...after reading more closely, I actually imported a PowerPoint file with shapes, where indeed, it worked as advertised. My bad.
