During a presentation, clicking a hyperlink that opens a webpage, email message, or a

file also pauses the presentation. While a presentation is paused in this way, the

Keynote icon in the Dock displays a green Play button. To resume the presentation,

click the Keynote icon in the Dock. (You can also quit the presentation by pressing the

Dock icon and choosing Exit Slideshow.)

For a complete list of keyboard shortcuts available while giving a Keynote

presentation, see Appendix A, “Presentation Keyboard Shortcuts,” on page 139 or

choose Help > Keynote Keyboard Shortcuts.

Changing the Slide Size

For highest-quality playback, your slide size should match the screen resolution of the

display on which the slideshow will appear. Most projectors work best with slides set

at the 800 x 600 size; newer projectors can display slides at a resolution of 1024 x 768

or higher. Most Keynote themes come optimized for these sizes.

If you are unsure of the projector’s resolution, use a large slide size; if your slide size is

too large to fit the display, Keynote automatically scales it down to fit the screen.

If you have a display that is larger than one of these sizes, you can set a custom slide

size for your Keynote document.

To change the slide size of your Keynote document:

1

Choose View > Show Inspector and click the Document Inspector button.

2

In the Document Inspector, choose an option from the Slide Size pop-up menu.

You can also specify a custom size by choosing “Custom slide size” and then typing

the dimensions you want in the Width and Height fields.

If you’re not sure of the best slide size or you don’t want to change the original slide

size in your document, Keynote plays the slideshow at its original size, centered on

your display and surrounded by a black border. Or you can have Keynote scale the

slideshow up to fit your screen when the slideshow plays.
