You can also specify a custom size by choosing “Custom slide size” in the Slide Size

pop-up menu and then typing the dimensions you want in the Width and Height

fields.

Note: You must use the “Custom slide size” pop-up menu to specify a custom slide

size. You cannot specify a custom size in the Theme Chooser.

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.

To fit the presentation to the display only during slideshow playback:

1

Choose Keynote > Preferences.

2

Click Slideshow.

3

Select the “Scale slides up to fit display” checkbox.

This option does not actually change the slide size of your Keynote document; it

scales the document to fit the display. Some video quality may be lost during

playback with this option. If you select this option and use the Cube or Flip transition,

make sure to select “Reduce to avoid clipping,” or part of the transition may not be

visible.

Changing Pointer Behavior During a Presentation

You can set up your slideshow so that the pointer appears only on slides containing

hyperlinks, or only when the mouse moves.

To specify presentation options:

1

Choose Keynote > Preferences and click Slideshow.

2

Choose one of the “Show pointer” options.

During a slideshow, you can show or hide the pointer by pressing the C key.

Printing Your Slides

You can print your Keynote slideshow in a variety of ways to meet different needs. You

can print slides with or without notes, or you can print the slideshow in outline form.
