[applekeynote] Keynote '09 and Third party themes

Since I heard of no problems with Keynote "09 and it has been in the
hands of some I was assuming that the new version was finding and
working well with third party themes. I got a note from one customer
that sounds like '09 can't locate his themes from Keynote Theme Park.

Maybe he moved things around (have not checked yet) or maybe there is
a problem.

My installer places them in HD/Application Support/iWork/Themes/Theme
Park Themes. Which, if I'm not mistaken, other Third Part developers
use also. This location has been good since way back to Keynote 2 (or
whenever iWork first appeared), through '06 and '08. I can't imagine
that Apple would make Keynote NOT look here for themes, but I guess
stranger things have happened.

Anybody using any Third Party themes, particularly from Keynote Theme
Park and having any issues?

Unfortunately I ordered the OS X, iLife, iWork set and found out
later when I watched the MacWorld Keynote that it won't ship until
iLife is ready at the end of the month. So I can't test it. Oh, wait,
I guess I can download the trial, right?

But it's good to get feedback from this group in any case.

Thanks, John
