Thanks for your comment.

I suspect that you are using Keynote 09- is that correct? With Keynote 09 Apple changed the file format from a bundled folder to a zipped folder.

If that is correct then you will have a couple of extra steps to get the files out.

1- Copy the Keynote theme file onto your Desktop
2- Change the file extension from kth to zip
3- double click the file
- It should expand into a folder
4- You should now be able to extract the files you want

I usually pick a book size to shoot for the new extra large size of 13×10 inches as well as 300 pixels per inch. That would mean that the 13×10 book would use 3900×3000 for the Keynote slide size.

thanks for your informative site. I have been trying to work out the Keynote thing and am stuck/confused/??? or all of the above, have worked out some things though.

1. I am fine getting into the Keynote package – contents/resources/themes. When I control click on a .kth file some (most) of them so far don’t have any images, is that normal? I have found some called Fine Art, paper background, Slate (different colours), but so many have no images.

2. How to choose the book size that matches the slide size?

I am normally pretty good at working this stuff out but not this time – you’ve stumped me. I really like the idea of using these backgrounds as they have so many – why they can not emulate in Aperture surprises me.

Thanks for any assistance you can give me.

Cheers,

Mark
