keynote voiceover control: any way to rewind?

I had students turn in keynotes with voiceovers for a final project. I want to go back to relisten to parts of the presentation, but there are no controls. The ones who converted their presentations to quicktime videos work fine, but the ones who turned in the actual keynote... is there any way to control the playback?

Right now, I can't even choose to look at a slide... it always starts at the beginning. HELP ME!

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

A recorded slideshow is chosen to create a self playing presentation with a voice over in sync with the slide. It always plays from slide one and the recorded voiceover plays in time with the slide, you can't jump back and forward in the presentation.

You stated that Keynote can export to QuickTime movie, so do exactly that and you can navigate using the QT controls: File > Export > Quicktime

Yep, this extra step is what I figured out shortly after I posted... was hoping to avoid that extra step, but it is a workaround. Next time I'll know better.
