Note: Selecting this option may cause your slideshow to run more slowly and
animations to display poorly.
Viewing Full-Screen Presentations
Full-screen presentations make the most of the crisp graphics and smooth animations
made possible by Keynote. You can show full-screen presentations directly on your
computer’s display, on a secondary display, or projected onto a large screen.
Viewing on Your Display
The simplest way to view a slideshow is by watching it directly on your computer’s
display. This format works best for a very small audience.
To view a full-screen presentation on a single display:
1 Open the Keynote document.
2 Click Play in the toolbar (or choose View > Play Slideshow).
3 To advance to the next slide (or object build), press N or the Space bar, or click the
mouse.
4 To end the show, press the Esc key or Q key.
Note: Clicking Play starts the slideshow at the currently selected slide. To start the
slideshow from the beginning (even if the first slide isn’t selected), press the Option
key while you click Play.
Rehearsing Your Presentation
You can rehearse a slideshow to review presenter notes and fine-tune the timing of
your presentation.
To rehearse your slideshow:
1 Choose View > Rehearse Slideshow.
Rehearsal view shows two slides at a time: the current slide and the next slide. The
clock below the current slide shows the time of day. The clock below the next slide
shows time elapsed since you started playing the show.
2 Specify the information you want to appear in the presenter display (see “Customizing
the Presenter’s View” on page 160).
3 If your presenter notes don't appear, choose Keynote > Preferences > Presenter
Display, and then select Notes.
