Q: Dual Screen - Presenter Notes Cannot Be Enlarged

Using Keynote 6.6.2 to present to a class with a screen that the students see and my MBP which I have notes on, I've set my MBP so that I can see the present slide, the next slide and my "presenter notes." In the last version, I was able to enlarge the area of my MBP screen devoted to my presenter notes, making it much easier to read and see what's coming next in my notes.

 

Under this version, I cannot figure out how to do that. Without that possibility, it seems my presenter notes have to be constantly scrolled through or I must delete the "next slide" and position my notes on the right side of my MBP screen.

 

Is there a way to have all three - current slide, next slide and presenter notes but the latter able to be enlarged to be effectively used?

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.5), 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

    I do not have this problem with Keynote 6.6.2 running in both El Capitan and Yosemite.

     

    What Mac OS are you using, your profile states 10.7.5 which can't be correct as Keynote is only compatibe with El Capitan and Yosemite.

    Thank you, Gary. I'm using Mac OS 10.11.6 (El Capitan) and Keynote 6.6.2, same as you.

     

    How did you do your settings in Keynote to allow you to have the:

     

    current slide,

    next slide, and

    presenter notes which can be enlarged on your personal screen?
