I can't for the life of me figure this one out. When I assign a keyword to my photo, it adds a little icon on the bottom right hand of photo. I want it to show the keyword in words on the bottom (where it now says IMG_####). I know this is possible, the guy in the tutorial has it like that. So how do I do this?
Got a tip for us?

Aperture and keywords
Hi tried that no joy im pulling my hair out here
ive tried editing all the basic and extended metadata options and so far i have managed to get the key words to show up on one photo at a time with a colour label.
To do this i have to go to the metadata tab on the left add a custom field to the general tab called it keywords to keep things simple lol.
This is the only way of getting my keyword to appear below the photo
However when i try and tag all the photos in the project with the same keyword and label it only tags the last one in the project ive held down cmd /option /ctrl nothing / some of these just tag one random picture with the metadata
i thank you guys in advance for your help

Tagging multiple photos is a little odd, you have to use the left metadata tools to stamp the keywords onto each photo (or a group of selected photos). It's weird at first but it's actually kind of nice once you get used to it.
Now then, as for showing keywords under photos I spent a bit of time and figured it out.
Hit Command-J to bring up the view options. Make sure you have the Grid View-Expanded up and make sure keywords is in the list to the right. Now move it above the version name. This will ensure that keywords are displayed.
Here's a screen shot for reference: http://cl.ly/1aFV
Finally, hit the 'U' key to show metadata (if the images get bigger and no metadata is displayed after hitting 'U' hit it again). Now hit Shift-U to toggle between Basic view (which should show the version name) and Expanded view (which should show keywords).
