Power point slides not showing

I have a rather odd problem. I've got a lengthy pdf which I converted to jpg's. I pasted those jpg's into power point into and then imported the pptx into Captivate 6. All the slides import but only the first 2 jpg's are visible. All of the other slides are blank. I know there's an easier way to do it, by converting the pdf to a pptx, and then import to captivate, but the pdf is mostly text and the text gets jumbled during the conversion. I'm just curious as to why the jpg's are not coming into captivate. And btw, I've also tried it using png's.

If you already have JPG images, why not simply use Captivate's ability to create a Slide Show and just create a project and point at the images?
Cheers... Rick

Is there a way to replace a Power Point slide in Captivate and keep the CC notes?

Hello,
I have a lot of Power Point slides in my Captivate project. The Power Point presentation is on a Share Point, so it is impractical to "link" the Captivate project with the Power Point presentation. Now and then we need to make changes to the Power Point slides and then replace the old slide in Captivate with the new slide. We have a lot of CC notes and TTS attached to each slide, so I lose all of that when I replace the slide. Is there a way to keep the synchronized CC and TTS notes in place, and just replace the acutal slide?
Thank you!
Ryan

1 - simplest way:
drag the sound file on to the audio well in the Inspector > document > document tab
music can only start on the first slide and will play untill the music ends, you can only have one music file in the presentation
2 - more control
drag the sound file on to any slide, add the images on to the same slide and use Builds to reveal each image in turn

Importing Power Point slides

I have been trying to resolve this for the past two weeks. I
have been successfully importing Power Point slides into Captivate
1 for the last year. Although have not done anything different,
Captivate is no longer importing the jpg logo (height 0.58" width
1" displays top right corner) on the PP slide . Everything but the
logo is displayed in Captivate. The logo is on the Slide Master . I
replaced the Slide Master, copied the logo onto each individual PP
slide and recreated the entire power point presentation without any
success. Can anyone provide a cause and resolution? Thanks.

I have also had inconsistent results with PowerPoint imports
in both Captivate 1 and 2. There seem to be less in version 2. The
problem that I have been experiencing is with fonts. I will have a
slide that clearly is within the frame in PowerPoint, but when
imported into Captivate flows off the bottom of the slide. This is
also incosistent from slide to slide. Here's what I have been
doing. It's isn't ideal, but hopefully time will get this issued
ironed out.
1) I go through my normal import procedures for PowerPoint
presentations by look closely at the thumbnails provided before the
final import. If it looks like there is going to be a problem, then
I bail out at this point.
2) I go back into PowerPoint, call up my presentation, and
the do a File > Save As> and then select the file type at the
bottom as JPEG. It will then ask you if you want to save all. I put
them in another directory and PowerPoint saves each slide image as
an individual JPEG image.
3) I go back to Captivate and import these as images in the
file creation sequence.
This usually results in a pretty clean set of slide.
Hope this helps.

Power Point Slides Generation using java.

I apologize if this is not the correct forum for addressing this question but any answer from anyone will be highly appreciated.
Question:
Does any one know any software which can be integrated with Java to generate Power Point slides on the fly. I am looking for software component similar to iText for generating pdf.
Thanks in advance.

It handles Excel documents, but not PPT as far as I can tell.

Power Point didn't show in correct alignment

I have created a power point slide and wanted to present to my CEO. Somehow, my chart didnt show correctly when in presentation mode. Everythings fine in normal mode.

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, I have some questions.
Which PowerPoint version did you use?
Was the presentation created in an earlier version of Point ?
Did only one chart of the slide encounter the issue?
How was the chart displayed incorrectly in presentation mode? Resize the chart, lost data or show the partly of the chart?(If you could upload some image, I'll appreciate about it)
Did you show the presentation in a projector and occur the issue?
Please try the following methods to test:
If you use a latest PowerPoint (such as PowerPoint 2013) to open a presentation created in an earlier version, please try to convert the presentation to the new format and re-open it.
If you show the presentation in a projector, please use "copy mode" to test.
Start the
PowerPoint in safe mode. If it works fine in safe mode, please check the add-ins one by one.
Repair Office.
If you upload a sample of the presentation, I'll test in my environment.

Correct dimensions for Power POint Slides

What would you all recommend for dimensions for Power Point slides so that they fill up the screen
with no border. My customer is cramming too much text on each slide and it is beyond title safe, going to near edge of TV screen upon viewing.
I have sequences that are both 16 x9 (720 x 480) and 4 x3 .
Thanks,
Al

I agree with that much text it is not looking good on the TV that I am testing it on. On computer it is better. I thought about the color layer below the slide but the design of the slide has 2 color boxes, (one horizontal, one vertical) on it and putting a layer below doesn't look good so far.
I am probably going to have to edit each slide and shrink the font and increase the borders.
I am talking to the admin who made them today.
A bigger problem is that they have trouble playing the DVD's I make with iDVD in their PC environment. The DVD's either play jerkily or not at all compounded by the fact that the people have lost all the remotes to their DVD players and can't pick a chapter. So I am trying to come up with work around.
Thanks for response,
Al

Updating Power Point slides changes the timeline

Hi all
I am using Captivate 4
When I am updating the power point slides it changes the captivate timeline for the slides
I set the slides to be 3 seconds and after each update I perform it extends all the slides to a longer period
Why is it acting like that?
Is there a way to prevent it from happening with every update I perform?
Thanks for your help
Merav

Hi Lilybiri,
The PPT slides that I add to the Captivate are not animated, these are static slides and I would like to set the duration for them.
The problem is that with every update the timing is overridden.
Thanks for your help,
Merav.

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.

Access Points do not show in CDP neighbor

Hi All,
Last night I was performing mainteance on access points throughout the network. I was converting them from Local to H-REAP to allow for vlan support. The maintenance went well however afterwards I've noticed access points are not showing up in CDP neighbor and with a "show power inline" the access points shows as a IEEE PD. This is causing some weird issues where a client can connect but then will lose it's DHCP address. The problem happened on 9 of the 12 floors that I did this on and there is no configuration differences and bouncing the access points did not resolve the issue. The access points do show a blue light.
Has anyone ever experienced this before? If so what did you do to fix it?
I have a mix of 1131 and 1142N access points on a 4402 WLC running version 6.0.188.0.
Thank you,
Chris Pratt

The maintenance went well however afterwards I've noticed access points are not showing up in CDP neighbor and with a "show power inline" the access points shows as a IEEE PD.
I see all the time.
"sh cdp neigh" shows nothing and "sh power inline" shows the port connected to the WAP as "IEEE". This is mostly caused by faulty cabling. If you have the right Cisco switch, you can test the cable using the in-built TDR feature.
Here's how you do it:
1. Command: test cable tdr interface
2. Wait for about 5 to 7 seconds;
3. Command: sh cable tdr interface
4. Please post the complete output.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Importing Power Point Slides into FCE

Hey all,
Have a project where I need to use a customer's power point slides in the finished video. Can I import them someway? Or maybe import into Live Type????
Trying to avoid having to type all of them.
Thanks,
Al

You can save a PowerPoint slideshow in many ways.
One possibility is to export a set of images with the format you like: jpeg, tiff, png, etc.: make sure to select the correct DPI (as defined in PPT) in the Options of the save as dialog. For example 180 dpi make a standard slide of 1800x1350 pixels that might fit well in standard DV sequences (default 72 dpi makes a low quality 720x540 image).
A second possibility is to export a movie; also in this case you can choose some parameters like the size of the frame. The default codec is Animation that is good, but requires a conversion of the movie in order to properly import it to FCE.

Change advance on power point slide after import

How do I change a power point slide that was imported to advance on click but I want the slides to advance automatically?

Hello,
Watch the imported slides, they all have a Click Box inserted at the end of the timeline (see screenshot in the red rectangle). Delete that click box and the slide will advanced automatically.

I cannot import Power Point slides into my presentation...

Hello, have created brand new project with Captivate 7 and tried to import a Power Point slide I made seconds earlier, and I get an error message. I tried the same with a new project in Captivate 6 (I have 6 and 7) and I get the same message. See image. Power Point was closed when I tried to import it. Any ideas what could possibly be happening?
Thanks for any help!!!

As per the Captivate 7 manual:
1. In an open project, Select File > Import > PowerPoint Slides.
2. Navigate to and select the PowerPoint presentation file format that you want to import.
3. Click Open.
4. Decide where to place the imported PowerPoint slides in the Adobe Captivate project. Add the slides to the end of the project, or click a slide in the list and add the PowerPoint slides after that slide.
5. Click OK.
6. In the Convert PowerPoint Presentations dialog box, do the following:
a. Select the PowerPoint slides to convert to Adobe Captivate project slides.
b. Set navigation preferences for the selected slides.
c. If you want to link to the PowerPoint presentation, select Linked. If you want to embed the PowerPoint presentation, deselect Linked.
7. Click OK.
The PowerPoint slides are imported into the Adobe Captivate project and they appear in the designated location. If necessary, you can change the order of the slides.
Hope this helps!
