Viewing, Printing, and Exporting Your Slideshow

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.
