How do I play a Keynote Presentation in full screen?

[mac000]

When I hit the play button the slide is just a small box around a black background. How do I make that slide full screen or larger?

The resolution must be low.

I always set mine to 1680x1050, the native resolution of my display.

You set this a the theme chooser, but you can have it scaled up by doing the following:

Keynote -> Preferences -> Slideshow. Select "Scale slides up to fit display."

I never understood why Keynote does not render the presentation depending on the current screen resolution.
For me it has been one more reason to stay with Powerpoint...

I think the ability to choose what resolution the presentation is comes in handy when you want to export the presentation into a Quicktime file.

But it is a handycap 99% of the times when I need to present and have to deal with different machines, external display settings, etc.

Powerpoint 'just works'...

But Keynote looks a bizillion times better.

Luckily I am not working in marketing

I usually weight content over looks and I use a very toned down slide design with zero slide transitions. I would say it looks as good in Powerpoint as it does in Keynote.

The other issue I had with Keynote was that when I needed to change the font properties of a single character (such as highlighting a term) it garbled the whole bullet point formatting. This was really what kept me from using it.
But I am digressing...
