Holly, I tried to change the units concerning the document size, and it seems impossible. But you can maybe tried this trick.
Go to Keynote (upper left corner near the apple logo)>Preferences>Rules. There you can change the units and set it in : Points, inches, centimeters.
After that if you make a shape in your presentation, like a square, you'll be able to see the size of your object in the "Arrange" tab. The size is now shown in the unit you chosen, so you can make a shape the size you want, and after set a picture size based on that shape to print it the size you wish, like you askde for 16x20 for your poster !
I hope I understand your question, is that this tip will be useful.
Hi Holly,
You can adjust your keynote presentation size. At the upper right corner you'll find 3 buttons, just click on the last one "document". Then in the menu on the right click on "slide size", there are two preset sizes, but you'll be able to customize the size (width and height) as you want, portrait or landscape. Hope it will be helpful for you !
MMust have got cut off....the guy at staples said my image was 6x8 inches....I saved my slide in keynote as a PDF...can I adjust ruler to inches in keynote??? Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you Thom! When I click there-then custom-the dimensions are listed in "pts" units? What does that stand for and is there a way to change it to inches? That you so much for your help!!
I used a pts calculator and changed my ruler to inches....does 1152width and 1440height sound right to you?
TThank you again Thom your answers have been EXTREMELY helpful and solved my issue!!! I have a lot to learn about keynote I will post another question tomorrow if you are looking for more points
You're welcome ! With time you'll see how this software is amazing to create stunning presentations or something else ! 😉
