Hi Kevin, Sorry it took so long to respond to your plea for assistance. I'll do my best here, but I'll admit that my expertise is in server administration, networking and am not the most proficient at Keynote. I primarily use it to read PowerPoint and Keynote presentations that others have created and do not do a lot of presentation creation on my own. Anyway, enough rambling, I'll place my answers to your questions after each of your questions> I placed your initials prior to your questions and my initials prior to my response.
> KC: > 1. Change the theme of the presentation to Aspect. > TK: Keynote doesn't appear to have a Theme named Aspect. That aside though, changing your Theme after the fact appears problematic in Keynote for VO users if you use the Theme button in the Toolbar.. Normally, a sighted user would simply press the Themes button in the Toolbar, then a window appears with your choices of Themes to choose from. All these Themes for VO users are unlabeled though, so that's where the issue lies. This should probably be addressed with Apple as it certainly is frustrating. The other method i determined was to go under the File menu, then select "Choose Theme". The choices are listed in a more user-friendly manner there as they appear in a fashion similar to the Theme chooser that you use when creating a presentation. > KC: > 2. Using the typed text in the box below, create the title slide shown > in the example. (Note: You will apply the text formatting in steps > 4-6.) > > Give Yourself Some Credit > Understanding Your Credit Report > Marc Kantlon > Economics 101 > TK: Not sure exactly what went where but I placed the first line of text into the Title area and the rest into the Body area. No issues. KC: 3. Italicize the name Marc Kantlon. TK Simply highlight the desired text using shift and arrows or other selection techniques, then press cmd-i to Italicize. KC: > 4. Decrease the font size of the title paragraph, Give Yourself Some > Credit, to 40. > TK: Again, highlight the desired text, press cmd-t to bring out the Font window, navigate to the Size Edit field then type 40, press return and then cmd-t to hide the Font window. Confirm your change by pressing VO-t so that VO will read your text attributes. Alternatively, you could press cmd-plus to increase or cmd-minus to decrease the font size but you would need to press it multiple times and use the VO-t to determine your size. In this case, you still need to highlight the desired text prior to implementing the size change commands. KC: > 5. Increase the font size of the first paragraph of the subtitle text, > Understanding Your Credit Report, to 28. > TK: Similar process to #4. > KC: > 6. Using the typed text in the box below, create Slide 2 as a Title > and Content slide with a bulleted list as shown in the example. > > Credit Report Fundamentals > Generated by three companies > Experian, Equifax, TransUnion > Factors > How much you owe to each company > Payment history for each company > Includes utilities, medical expenses, rent > > Save your changes. > TK: Press cmd-shift-n to create the new slide.

Using the typed text in the box below, create Slide 3 as a Title > and Content slide with a bulleted list as shown in the example. > > How FICO Is Calculated > Range – 760 (excellent) to 620 (poor) > 35% - Payment history > 30% - Amounts owed > 15% - Credit history length > 10% - New credit > 10% - Credit types > TK: As explained in previous items.

KC: > 9.

Press cmd-t to Show > the Font window. Navigate to the Text Colour button and press it. In the > Toolbar, select the Colour Pallet button. Select your desired colour from > the Colour table. Close the Colours window with the close button which > should take you back to your presentation. If not, you may need to Close or > Hide the Font window as well. > > KC: Any and all assistance are appreciated. > TK: Hope this is helpful in some regard. Let me know if I was unclear in anything or missed some steps in my explanations. Once you get used to the way these apps operate, I think that you'll probably find better ways of doing things.
