Presenter notes on MacBook - presentation through projector

Does anyone know how to set up a Keynote presentation so I can read the notes on my MacBook and display the presentation through a projector? I can only get the notes mirrored on the projector.


Thanks

Mac Pro, OS X 10.11

  1. Connect a second display to the Mac, power it on and have the input selected for the Mac
  2. go to: Apple Menu > System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement:   deselect mirror option
  3. in Keynote go to: Keynote > Preferences > Slideshow: select the option for;   Enable Presenter Display
  4. When in Play , if presenter display is on the wrong display, press the X key on the keyboard

Thanks again Gary. I did manage too get things working by following your excellent advice. I'm just wondering whether I needed to connect the second monitor before going through the set up. Could I have simply connected the projector and it would have shown up in system prefs> displays? (I ran out of time so wasn't able to check.)
