Skipping Slides on Playback

 < Day Day Up > 

There are times when you have your presentation ready to go, and you arrive at the venue and realize that you don't want to show some of the slides in your presentation. Perhaps your company's product line has changed, and you want to skip the slide that shows the fabulous Wonder Widget, because it will soon be replaced by a new model (probably the Ultra Wonder Widget). Sometimes even news reports are a reason to remove slides from your presentation; for example, you probably wouldn't have wanted to give a presentation with a picture of a sinking ship the day after the Titanic went down.

You must select slides to be skipped before you begin the presentation; you can't choose to skip a slide while you are playing the pre sentation.

To set slides to be skipped

1.
Open your presentation.

2.
Choose View > Navigator, or choose Navigator from the View pop-up menu in the toolbar.

The Slide Navigator appears.

3.
In the Slide Navigator, click to select the slide that you want to skip.

You can select multiple slides by clicking on the first slide that you wish to skip, holding down the Shift key, and clicking the last slide in the selection. You can select discontiguous slides by selecting the first slide, holding down the Command key, and then selecting subsequent slides.

4.
Choose Slide > Skip Slide.

Keynote collapses the thumbnail image of the slide in the Slide Navigator to a line ( Figure 12.5 ).

Figure 12.5. After selecting a slide in the Slide Navigator (left), and setting it to be skipped, Keynote shows the slide as a line (right) and renumbers the subsequent slides.


Tips

  • You can also skip a slide by Control-clicking the slide thumbnail in the Slide Navigator, and choosing Skip Slide from the resulting contextual menu.

  • To restore a skipped slide to your presentation, select the slide thumbnail in the Slide Navigator, and choose Slide > Don't Skip Slide.
