How do you make Keynote slides fill a screen?

You can read the details here. But the answer is below. Thanks Edward Escobar!

The first thing you can try doing is clicking “Scale slides up to fit display” option in the slideshow preferences.

From the top menu:  Keynote > Preferences > Slideshow

It’s the first option in the window.

Another thing you can do is set the size of the slide to the resolution of your screen.  When you create a new slideshow, from the template window at the bottom right corner, there is a dropdown menu that allows you to set the slide size.  You can choose of the sizes already listed, or customize your own.

You can find your screen resolution in: System preferences > Displays

Pages no longer shares via mail: Apple Support Communities

Pages no longer shares via mail: Apple Support Communities. Forum Member TPryts has a good workaround. Other people post other suggestions on the thread as well.

Work around for Pages not sharing via Mail.

I discovered that when I created a test pages document. ( This is a test and only a test of the Pages share via Mail script) and shared it via Mail all was well.

So it must be the org document I was working with.

I copied the content into a new blank and saved it under a different name.That worked

I got to thinking about this and tried the org document again it still would not work.

This time I re-saved it as another name. That also cured it.

I’m not sure what in the original document caused the fault. Could a file name cause it?

Thanks for the feed back

Mixing landscape and portrait layouts in Apple Pages (via throwable)

Image via Wikipedia

Clever work around to fix this issue. This webpage has a ton of Leopard related troubleshooting as well. Might be worth a look if you are having a Mac OS X Leopard issue.

Incredibly, Pages ’09 does not seem to support mixing landscape and portrait-oriented pages in the same document, even when using layout breaks. The best workaround I could find is to insert a text box and then rotate it 270°. If you need the landscape-oriented text to span multiple pages, you can link text boxes across pages (select the first text box and then click on the blue arrow below the rotated text box to add the next text box). One draw … Read More

“Ghost” page numbers on every second page

Command key

So Jerrold Green1 figured it out:

Sometimes in the process of importing from Word, page numbers are improperly converted to Master Objects or Background Objects. Go to Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable. Then, with the cursor in the Margin of the document, press the Command Key (Cursor changes to an Arrow) and drag the cursor diagonally across the page number to select it. Then press the Delete key and the number should be gone. You need to check carefully to make sure that you have eliminated all the instances. There may be one per Section.
