apple page in OS - can the icon for audio files be changed? Can the icon size be changed?

I have imported an IBA file over to pages. The audio icon looks disproportionately huge. Can it be reduced?

Hello,

thanks for the reply. I did not see an obvious way to change the audio icon size before I posed the question either, but I thought that more cleaver folks could provide a more helpful approach.


Luckily I dug a bit further by exporting the pages file to EPUB. The audio icon looked more reasonably sized along side the other assets (text and images) though not quite in the position I had set in pages. Puzzling. So I took a look at the pages file and found that the audio icon does not change in size as you zoomed in or out, while all the other assets (text, images, etc) did.


To correctly position the audio icon, you must view the file in actual size while in pages. When viewing zoomed in or out from actual size, ignore the position and size of the audio icon. The audio icon size we are stuck with looks reasonable along side the text, etc across devices once in EPUB.


I hope this helps folks publishing feature rich ebooks in Books.
