New Course: Keynote (40% Off For a Limited Time) I'm exited to announce a new online course
Keynote: Building Presentations On Your Mac. This is a completely new course on Keynote where each lesson builds on the previous one to quickly teach you how to make and present Keynote presentations using your Mac.
The course starts with the basics of building a presentation in Keynote and then goes into detail about using media, transitions, animation and presenting. It is a complete course with 60 lessons and more than 3 hours of video to teach you everything you need to know to use Keynote to give presentations and create slideshow content. The course is for version 10.1 of Keynote for Mac or newer.
Here is a special coupon that will get you 40% off the price of the course, from now until August 28. So, as an example, in the U.S. that would be $23.97 instead of $39.95. Click on
this link or use the code
keynote741. Make sure the coupon code is applied before checking out. You can use this link to view the table of contents and even preview some of the videos.
Just like with all of the courses at my site, you can take as long as you like to start the course and go through the videos. You can also go back to review the videos as often as you like.

Watch at YouTube Creating Report-Style Numbered Headings In Mac Pages If you need the headings in your document to be automatically numbered, you can adapt the numbered lists styles and the ability to continue from the previous number to accomplish this.

Subscribe at iTunes... Quick Tip: Launch Apps In Spotlight With Initials You probably know that you can use Command+Space and then type the first few letters of an app's name, then Return to launch it when it appears as the top hit. But you can also use the initials of multi-word app names. So qp for QuickTime Player, fm for Find My and mw for Microsoft Word. It even works with gb for GarageBand, recognizing the capital B in the name.
