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.

For a complete list of presentation keyboard shortcuts, see Appendix A, “Presentation

Keyboard Shortcuts,” on page 139.

Viewing on a Projector or Second Display

If you have a larger audience, you may want to play the slideshow on a second display

or project it onto large screen. That way, you can see presenter information (your slide

notes and a clock, for example) on your display while viewers see only the slideshow

on the second display. To do this, you set up your displays in a dual display

configuration.

You can also play the identical slideshow on both screens. This setup is called video

mirroring.

Important: Attach the second display or projector according to the instructions that

came with the display or projector, and the instructions that came with your

computer (search onscreen help for video mirroring, displays, or dual monitors). You

may need to connect the second display or projector before you complete some of

the following steps.

Note: iBooks with a second display connected work only in mirroring mode.

Dual Displays

With a dual-display configuration, you can play the slideshow on one screen while

controlling the slideshow and viewing presenter information on another display.

To set up dual displays:

1

Choose Apple () > System Preferences.

2

In System Preferences, click Displays.

3

Click Arrange and follow the onscreen instructions.

If there is no Arrange button, then your computer detects only one display.

4

Deselect the Mirror Displays checkbox.
