Instead of dropping the icon onto the picture I need to leave it somewhere else on the canvas. I am building 1920x1080 slides with the added pictures of the same size, so it was not obvious.

Using smart build I can create a nice sequence, so when I drag an audio file in the usual manner on this 'smart build slide' it appears with the green + symbol, but does not play when I activate the slide show. Basically I try to build a presentation with several smart builds, each with their own audio. How can I do this, without creating a movie ?

I've done it many times. See episode 400 for the basics: http://macmost.com/ipad-file-sharing.html You can also preview your next slide, yes. You can see your current slide and the next one on your iPad (with notes, time, etc), while the current slide only is displayed on the projector.

Having bought an Ipad for lightness and ease of transport, I was assured that I could transfer my Keynote presentations - I CANNOT - and will now have to build them again. HOWEVER my main concern is that I do not know if I will have the facility to 'pre-view' my next slide. Previously, on my Laptop I had a thumb-through facility. When I gave talks I could only see two slides but this was enough to be able to give my presentations. My talk leads the slides and not the other way around. So, when coupled to a projector, will I have the facility on my Ipad to 'preview'. Please help.
