Export to Build Training Book Question

Question

Howdy,
I want to hand out a training book the shows the 2 slide-up view from the handouts export option in keynote. THe issue I have is that I also have to compile a few excel charts from co-workers, as well as create a TOC and then page number the entire book. Does anyone know how to export the handout per slide separately so that when compiling into one book, I can move around the separate slides if I need to change the final order? Thanks!

Ok, I see the key problems now, you've got
a) landscape content in slide form that you want in portrait format in book form
b) during this, you'll want to add additional content that may be portrait or landscape
I'm thinking the best idea would be to move the whole production to Pages. That way, you can lay out a repeatable look (one for single slide, one for dual slide) AND, since Pages understands Keynote, the text and other info you copy out of Keynote will still be editable in Pages. Also, remember that you can drag a high resolution image of a slide out of the Navigator pane and into Pages. It means you can't edit in Pages, but you can still make the changes in Keynote and you're just a click/drag from showing those changes in Pages.
Another idea would be to create a portrait theme and work within Keynote (fewer problems trying to copy any master slide objects to Pages) but it won't be a s Page-y Layout-y as Pages.
Here's another idea. When setting up your Pages file, be sure to use Media Placeholders and then put your images in those (instead of just bringing in the slide images). That way, if you decide to use a different slide or different build point, it's just a matter of dragging it over.
