Viewing, Printing, and Exporting Your Slideshow

 To close the slide switcher without changing the current slide, press Escape.

When an object build is running on a slide, a red line appears on the display to warn

you not to move to the next slide. The line turns green when the build is complete.

Pausing and Resuming a Presentation

There are several other ways to pause a presentation.

To pause a presentation, do one of the following:
 To pause (freeze) the presentation and display the current slide, press F. To resume

the presentation, press any key.

 To pause the presentation and display a black screen, press B. To resume the

presentation, press any key.

 To pause the presentation and hide the application, press H. To resume the

presentation, click the Keynote icon in the Dock.

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

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 presentation keyboard shortcuts, see the “Keyboard Shortcuts”

topic in Keynote Help.

Changing the Slide Size

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

default size, 800 x 600. Newer projectors may display slides at a resolution of 1024 x

768. If your presentation includes movies, you may want to choose a higher

resolution. Choose an HD theme with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 in this case; note

that not all themes offer the higher resolution.

If your slide size is too large to fit the display, Keynote automatically scales it down to

fit the screen. Note also that higher resolutions require more memory and faster

processing.
