In Keynote 6.6 I cannot move to next slide

I am attempting to play my presentation in Keynote 6.6 on my Mac, but cannot move to the next slide, despite following this basic instruction:

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

I even successfully connected my iPhone to use it as a remote, but the problem persists. It looks like Keynote on the Mac does not move the next slide or move back to the previous slide.

The only way of manoeuvring around it is to press + to display a navigation panel still in the presentation mode and then press Enter to go to the next slide.

However this does not resolve the main issue. Is it a software bug?

Has anyone experienced a similar thing?

Cheers,

Sorry, I stated the wrong keys in the last reply, so when the Navigator is hidden, use the page up and page down keys as per the position marked on the illustration below, different keyboards may show different engravings:

This didn't help me either... For some reason, there were two slides out of a 14 slide deck that won't advance for any reason. I looked at all of the settings, tried all of the tricks on this site and others, and nothing worked. So, alas, I had to export to powerpoint...sigh...

Not sure what the issue is, but I hope Apple fixes it.

OK thats a different situation. Delete the problem slides and recreate from scratch.

You can copy and paste images and video into the new slide but do not copy and paste any other objects from the offending slide as they will retain existing settings.
