Keynote hyperlinks

I've set up a presentation with the first slide as a contents slide with each of the presentation categories in a list. Each item is a link to the first slide in that category. The last slide in each category has a link back to the contents slide.

This works exactly as expected on both my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro when either played or using Rehearse but when I connect my laptop to a projector, clicking a link just transitions to the next slide i.e. if I click the link to section 8, when not connected to the projector it will jump to section 8 but when it is connected to the projector it just transitions to section 1.

The Presentation Display (on the projector) is the active screen for hyperlinks.

Hyperlinks do not work from the Presenter Display (on the MacBook) but clicking anywhere on the Presenter Display will advance to the next slide.

Therefore, you must click the mouse on an object on the projector image.

When the Presentation Display (the projector) is positioned correctly, the mouse is moved continually across the MacBook display on to the Presentation Display.

Go to: Apple Menu > System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement

I prefer the Presentation Display positioned to the middle right hand side of the primary screen:

The secondary display, can be positioned anywhere around all four sides, including the corners:

To move the placement of the second display, click and drag the secondary display's icon to the new location.

Thanks Gary, that must be it. It may sound daft but if using the presenter display, how do I move the mouse onto the projected display and not just the left hand slide on the MacBook? Just move it off screen to one side or other? (Can try it just now, no projector here at present.)
