text subscripts/superscripts, headers and footers

Actually I am a newcomer to Keynote. There are difficulties how to write in a text subscripts or superscripts. I am a physicist and need this feature frequently. I should be also grateful to get some help how to write headers or footers (i.e. for numbering of slides).

Thanks in advance,

Welcome to the forums, Bernd!

To subscript or superscript some text, select it and type Control-Shift-Command-plus (or in the Format menu, under Font, in the flyout menu Baseline, choose "Superscript"). For subscript, Control-Shift-Command-minus, or again use the Baseline menu.

To use a header or footer, you will need to put the text you want onto the slide Masters that you are using to appear on all the slides. To insert the slide number, select the Master you want, then in the Slide Inspector, click the Appearance tab, and check off the Slide Number option. You can now format the added number as you like.

I think the best option is LaTeX and pdf. Look at http://www.macresearch.org/renderingcomplex_equations_in_keynotepresentations Also Grapher can be used with good results http://www.uoregon.edu/~noeckel/Keynote.html

I just use Apple's Grapher app (or the AppleWorks Equation Editor) to craft the equation (or expression), then copy and paste onto the appropriate Keynote slide.
