Hi Susan Ronni asked why am I using Keynote rather than iPhoto?
You are spot on with your second guessing! As well as simply wanting to become familiar with Keynote (iWork being new to me) I wanted the text as well. The master slide I chose allows for a photo plus text below as well as an additional box for even more information. It's probably a bit ambitious at this stage, but my ultimate aim is to be able to show this project at an information session about our recent cycling experience in Provence, similar to the photos you saw in the Photo Book but in slideshow format with text.

That's why I was interested in what you are doing - its easy enough to set up slideshows in iPhoto, but if you want people to know more about what it is that they are seeing, then Keynote provides a way to adding extras. At least, that would be my reason for using Keynote. cheers, Susan.
