Importing from Power Point to Captivate 5.5.

We have some ppts that have something similar to layered content on the slide. You click on a slide and new content is shown. Any way to get this into Captivate or do you need to redo these slides?

Welcome to the forum,
Each powerpoint slide will be converted to sort of video slide in Captivate, normally keeps all animations. If you programmed PPT to have a click, this should be preserved in Captivate.
However, personally I would prefer to create that kind of interactivity in Captivate itself, because then you'll have separate timelines for the objects that will have to show up on click.

Power Point to Captivat 3

I am importing a power point file into Captivate 3. My power
point has had a light tan, light yellow and white background and
every time it is imported in Captivate 3 the background comes out
dark grey. I have changed background colors, was told to take out
my transitions (I didn't have transitions to begin with) and
nothing seems to help. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix
this problem?

Sure they can!
You simply insert Click Boxes or Buttons on the slides to
pause them and allow them to traverse from slide to slide at their
own pace.
In this case you may wish to forego the typical playback
control (aka "playbar") and only use Buttons or Click Boxes to
navigate.
Cheers... Rick

Using mov files create from power point in Final Cut.

Hello, I am trying to import a mov file that I exported from power point into Final Cut pro. I'm using final cut 5 and power point 11.3.2 . When I try to import the mov file, final cut says file error: unknown file type. how can I get final vut to recognize this file or how can I convert it to a file that final cut will recognize???
thanks for your time
mike

If I am not mistaken, Power Point exports .wmv files. If this is the file type you have I would recommend purchasing Flip4Mac. It is not that expensive and it will provide .wmv support to QT.

Can I make a pdf with hyperlinks from Power Point using Acrobat ?

I have a Power Point presentation which includes hyperlinks to websites. When I use the Power Point slide display they work.
Can Acrobat make a pdf from Power Point which includes the hyperlinks ?
Will the hyperlinks work when the pdf is displayed by Acrobat Reader?
Thanks
John
newbie

But I want the pages in the pdf shown spreadwise.
In AcrobatPro you can set the initial document view of single pages as spreads via Page Layout: Two-Up Continuous (Cover Page)

I just tried to copy text from power point to a word document. Since then the word document is frozen an shows no reaction. Also can not restart word. Can anyone help me to unfreeze or recover the word document?

If the PDF page content is an image (for text that'd by the image that any scanner provides) then it is an image that exports to Word.
Regardless, Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content, cannot create PDF and cannot manipulate PDF page content.
Adobe Reader is a PDF viewer only.
Perhaps you have a subscription to one of Adobe's online subscription services.
(ExportPDF, PDF Pack, etc.)
Each of the online subscription services have their own dedicated user-2-user forums.
Easy find as there here in Adobe's Forums. Hmmm, just dumping somewhere means ... Ah well, won't go there. Miss Manners would not approve eh.

Exporting to and from Power Point

When I export to and from power point, the mapping of bullets does not seem to be one for one. My bullets in iwork seem to map to bullets with numbers in them in power point. How can I figure out which bullets in Power Point map to which bullets in iwork?

Hi,
Hope you are doing the following:
1. Create a pptx
2. Save and click on Presenter ->Publish.
3. Select the tab 'Adobe Connect'
4. Configure the server by clicking on 'Edit server'
5. Click on Add and enter name (any name) and URL of server ('http://<server name like my.adobeconnect.com>)
6. Press Ok and then Publish.
Are you redirected to Connect server login screen ?
If still you are not able to publish, please provide the name and URL of server you entered.
Thanks

Error importing a power point slide into Captivate 4 project

I am trying to add a Power Point slide to an existing project. I am using Power Point 2007 and Captivate 4. When I try to insert a Power Point slide, I get the following message:
Error Message: Unable to load nsImportPPT.dll(999)
Can anyone help with this issue. Thanks!

Hi,
nsImportPPT.dll is an "Adobe Captivate 4" dll and should be present in the "Adobe Captivate 4" installation directory (which is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4" by default). Please check if this file exists there.
I think 999 error comes when the DLL is not found. Try Re-Installing your Adobe Captivate 4.

Is there a way to import a Power Point presentation without adding click boxes?

I want the user to navigate through the Power Point portion of my training by hitting one of two buttons. Unfortunatley, in order for me to restrict the users options to these possibilities, I have to delete every click box from the slide that is added to the power point slides when I import them. The only other option (as far as I know) is to make it so they advance automatically (without clicking) when I import the slides, and I don't want that either.
If someone can help me out, that would be great!
Thank you!
Ryan

Why not import with the option 'advance automatically' and add the buttons in Captivate? Are you talking about navigational buttons (Next, Previous)? If you are using Captivate 6 you can use a Shape button for that purpose, add it on Master slides or time them for the rest of the project if you want to have them on each slide:

MAC POWER POINT TO CAPTIVATE

WHEN I TRY TO BEGIN A CAPTIVATE PROJECT FROM AN IMPORTED POWER POINT ON MY MAC ONLY THE LEFT HALF OF THE SLIDE IMPORTS. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT SIZES OF FILES TO SAVE BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHETHER I USE THE ORIGINAL POWER POINT SIZE OR THE SMALLER IPAD SIZE. BOTH GIVE ME ONLY 1/2 MY SLIDE. WHAT IS GOING ON? HOW CAN I IMPORT MY ENTIRE POWER POINT SLIDE.
THANKS

Hello Cinjac,
Can you tell me the version of Adobe Captivate you are using ( Go to Help> About Adobe Captivate) along with the version of Powerpoint and Mac OS ?
Can you attach a screenshot of the issue you are facing ?
Thanks and Regards

Audio from Power Point show doesn't play

I am having a problem with Power Point shows that people send to me via e-mail. The video works fine, but the audio doesn't play. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Hello Andaleeb,
thank you for getting back to me.
The slide show works fine, including sound, from within Organizer. It
also works fine when I export it as a video. Just PDF isn't working.
In the meantime, from various contributions in the forum, I gather that,
unfortunately, the Organizer (just like Lightroom) simply does not
support adding music to PDF slide shows. Apparently, there is a way to
do that using Acrobat Pro (only costs 640 Euros).
You may consider my question answered.
Regards,
Thomas

Inserting a page from power point

Please help me with this...whenever I try to insert a page taken from a different power point presentation, the page is always inserted to the left at a 90 degree angle. How do I switch it around so that the paper appears at the right view? When I try "arrange" at a different view, it doesn't help.
Thank you.

Technically, you can open an an URL inside of a web page
using the IFRAME tag in HTML. This may not be the right thing to do
if the owner of that page does not give you approval to do so.
A Flash movie (swf file) will not play in Design View unless
you use the Play button in the Property Inspector. You can see the
Flash movie play if you preview the web page in a browser (F12 or
Preview in Browser from the File menu).

Bring back preservation of animations when creating PDF from Power Point

I understood, that PDF maker allowed for MS Office 2003 Power Point an option of preserving animations, and then since MS Office 2007 this option is gone.
I rely just on description of that, and I personally never tested this functionality in Power Point 2003.
Still, for me it is unclear, why this functionality has been removed. Is it in order not to cannibalize Adobe Presenter sales? Then it is a clear mistake, as these two in this respect do not really overlaps. Or, is it because of ISO 32000 standardization? But then anyway what Acrobat offer is number of "extensions" on top of standard.
I have a PPTX with by paragraph animation, and I do not want to make a video, as I wish that presentation would be printable.
Current situation is going against teh vfery idea of PDF to preserve the exact content of teh file,which here, in part of animations, that I consider a part of substantial, not processual content, is missing.

You can preserve slide transitions but not animations within the slides themselves - page content such as a bullet point list cannot be faded/moved/etc in a PDF file.

From Power Point to ...

Hi ALL,
This is maybe the wrong forum for my question, but I give it a trey anyway.
I developed in MS Office 2004 for Mac a Power Point presentation an now I would like to convert this presentation in to a website.
My question is simple an hopefully you have a simple answer ... Is it possible to so ??
I'm using Dream Weaver 8 for developing websites.
Thanks in advance ...
Dimaxum

Browsers do not have any "helper" apps (plug-ins) that can view your .pps file so the file would need conversion to QuickTime, WMP or Flash media formats to be used in a browser.
