How to Insert Greek Letters Into Keynote
When you are creating a slideshow presentation on your Mac with the Keynote application, you might want to insert Greek letters into a text box. Keynote is part of the Apple's iWork applications suite, which also includes programs for making spreadsheets and desktop publishing documents. Macs come with Greek already installed, and you use the Keyboard Viewer to set which language to use in your documents.
