Animating (e.g. making bold) each row of a table in Keynote while discussing it?

Hello,


Is there a way I can animate (making bold, or applying a color fill) to each row of a table in Keynote while I am discussing it during a presentation? On each click, I would like the current row to go back to normal and the next row to be made bold or color filled. The purpose is so that it is very clear to the audience which row I am currently discussing.


I found the options to slide table cells or rows into the view of a Keynote slide, but I would like the entire table to be visible to the audience... I just want individual rows to be highlighted somehow as I discuss them.


Thanks!

There is no inbuilt tool to do this in Keynote, it has to be setup manually.


  • duplicate the slide containing the table, (5 rows requires 6 slides)
  • the first slide shows the text black
  • subsequent slides show a different row with a colour change and a coloured border
  • to do this, select the row of the relevant table on each slide, and change the colour text and add a coloured border:
