Viewing Your Slideshow

Note: If there is no Arrange tab, then your system does not support a dual-monitor
configuration.
To play your slideshow on a dual-monitor system:
1
Choose Keynote > Preferences to open the Preferences window.
2
Select “Present on primary display” or “Present on secondary display” to specify on which
screen you want to display the slideshow. The primary display is the one which shows the
menu bar.
3
To view the slide notes on the alternate display, select the checkbox labeled “Use alternate
display for feedback.” Close the Preferences window.
If you do not select the option to view notes on the alternate display, that display will be
blank (black screen) during the slideshow presentation.
For slideshows with very complex charts or object builds, selecting this option may cause the
slideshow to play slightly more slowly.
4
Choose Slide > Play Slideshow (or click Play in the toolbar).
5
If you selected the option to view notes on the alternate display, on one display you will see
the Keynote window with the notes field open. Play through the slides in the slide organizer
by using the Up and Down Arrow keys or by pressing the Space bar on the keyboard. Click
the mouse to advance object builds. The Keynote window is inactive except for moving
forward or back in the slideshow.
Note: When viewing your notes during slideshow playback, the viewing window for the
notes field is not scrollable. If you have long notes in the notes field, before you play the
slideshow be sure to open the notes field to its maximum height and adjust the font size so
that all of your notes are visible without scrolling.
6
Press the Esc key or Q key to end the show.
Select this to exit full-screen mode after
the slideshow ends.
Select this to resize
slides automatically.
Select this to view your slide notes on
the alternate display during slideshow
playback with a dual-monitor setup.
Select the top button for video
mirroring. Select the bottom button
for dual monitors.
