Play a presentation on your Mac

1. Select the slide you want to begin with, then click in the toolbar.

2. To advance through the presentation, do any of the following:

   • Go to the next slide or build: Press the Right Arrow key.

   • Go back a slide or reset the builds on the slide: Press the Left Arrow key.

   • Jump to a different slide: Press any number key to make the slide navigator appear, enter the slide number into the text field at the top of the slide navigator, then press Return.

3. To stop playing the presentation, press Esc (Escape).

You can require a password to stop or exit the presentation. This password requirement is useful, for example, when the presentation is set to play automatically in a kiosk.

1. With the presentation open, choose Keynote > Preferences (from the Keynote menu at the top of your screen).

2. Click Slideshow at the top of the preferences window, then select the “Require password to exit slideshows” checkbox.

3. Type a password, then click Set Password.

When you require a password to exit a presentation, the password is applied to all presentations played on your computer, not just to this presentation. This password applies only while the presentation plays on the Mac the presentation was saved on. If you saved the presentation to a different Mac, you can reapply the password by following the steps above.

To remove this password, choose Keynote > Preferences, then deselect the “Require password to exit slideshows” checkbox.
