What I mean is that in other iLife applications, such as Pages, one can call on Information on the document by opening the Inspector/Document/Information.
I find this useful when I need to locate them in the Finder.
Where can I find the same service in Keynote?
iLife-OTHER, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Sorry, I meant iWorks, not iLife for Keynote and Pages.
click the Inspector button;
Inspector > Document> Spotlight
Hi Gary,
Thank you for your response.
Question :
How does this provide me with the ability to find out where the presentation is saved in Finder?
Using Pages as my example, the last item at the bottom provides a way to find the document in Finder.
My version is in French so you should have an English equivalent.

Do you add information to Keynote/Inspector/Document/Spotlight frequently when you create any document?
It seems to me to be needed in exceptional cases.
What are the advantages of this?
This may be a whole new feed, right?
Cheers from Canada.
Question :
How does this provide me with the ability to find out where the presentation is saved in Finder?
text is typed into one or more of the four boxes in the Keynote Inspector > Spotlight
Spotlight uses these fields to search for this text
If I had a project called Edinburgh Castle - I would type that into Spotlight and it would find it faster than other methods.
Using Pages as my example, the last item at the bottom provides a way to find the document in Finder.
No this does not help find anything using Spotlight. This is part of the document statistics, it shows whether the document has been printed and the date and time of last printing, Clicking the Show File Info button will display the file info window.

I have never used the Spotlight information fields. I place Keynote files in a folder named after the project title so I look directly at that folder in the Finder.
Any idea where I can find Show File Info in the Keynote Inspector or elsewhere in Keynote menus or tools?
Show File Info provides the location of where the file was saved in Finder.
This is what I would like to know about an open presentation.
Keynote does not have a show info button in the inspector, however
right click on the document name in the menu bar
doing this will display the folder tree to the file
this is an OS X function, so you can find the location from any open document (Photoshop, Word, Textedit)
Thank you Gary Scotland for all your answers.
I totally forgot about the feature to find the location of a document.
This makes my day especially on St-Valentine Day.
Sending you a little ♡.
🙂
thanks for your update
