Keynote and iWork ’08 rock but… MacBook slides please?
I haven’t had time to use them much yet but the iWork 08 applications look great. Some typically Apple simple but very elegant refinements and new features.
However I still don’t get why Apple don’t ship keynote with default themes that support the native 1280×800 resolution of MacBooks. It’s braindead – they supply 1280×720. You have to set a custom slide size to have something that natively uses the full screen.

October 4, 2007if i could create a slide at say 640×100, i could use keynote to create banner ads in .swf in a FLASH, so to speak. Wouldn’t that be great?

May 23, 2008In response to Jigs, you can use keynote for such banners. Just use the app automator and create a new keynote presentation with your own slide size (so you can create one with less than 200 pixels which keynote sets as a minimum)
