Aug 18, 2016 6:39 AM in response to Gary Scotlandby mt112830,The sad thing is that annotations are not native to Keynote in this day and age. I have to pay $20 for a program to let me do something that should be native. I think the better solution is to save the presentation as a ppt file and use Libreoffice to present it. It is free and has an excellent annotation function.

Aug 18, 2016 7:24 AM in response to mt112830by Gary Scotland,I design and deliver presentations in a professional environment, therefore using Keynote is more important than saving a few pounds. Converting to and using three other applications resulting in the loss of animations, interactivity and image quality is not something I would consider.
Libra Office only annotation tool is a single freehand pen, so not a good comparison. ink2go has 14 different tools that work with anything shown on the Mac display. Good value for money I would have thought.
My friends kids use Keynote at school and I would never expect them to buy software for school work. Each their own.

Aug 19, 2016 6:31 AM in response to Gary Scotlandby mt112830,You are right. To each his own. I have never had a problem saving a Keynote file to an .xls file to use in Libreoffice. All I need is a "Pen" to draw on my files when I present. I only use iWork because it came with my Macbook for free. Otherwise I would spend the few dollars for Office 365.
The bigger question is why, at this date, does Keynote not have native annotation.

Keynote does not have the ability to create xls files, if you want to create a spread sheet from a table in Keynote copy the data from the table, then paste into Numbers, Microsoft Excel, Libra Calc or similar applications.
