Hi Mark,
This is not exactly what you are looking for, but you can help to  
automate content in Keynote with AppleScript.  To access the Keynote  
dictionary in AppleScript:
	1.  Open 'Script Editor' located in /Applications/AppleScript.
	2.  From the File menu select 'Open Dictionary.'

You can also use Automator as well.  Steve Hayman shows a great  
example of this in the following webcast from MacEnterprise.org:
	http://macenterprise.org/content/view/232/42/

I will see if there is an update to the APXL documentation in the  
pipeline.


Best,
Steve
