Adding text to Captivate 5 slide.

I want to replace the slide from PowerPoint to a new slide that has a text equivalent. Is it possible to do that and if so, how do you do it?
thx

You did not get an answer, I think your question is not clear enough at all.
Do you want to create a new slide in PPT and re-import? Or do you want to create a slide from scratch in Captivate to replace the PPT-slide?

Can we translate in captivate 7? I Have tried and changed the Caption and Notes. Can we change the on screen text of te normal slides, interactive call out boxes, screen recording slides and quizzes? If yes, please let me know the process.

Of course! Here ya go
For the record, I did create a new project with only two slides to try and duplicate the issue. I had the same problem. I unchecked the Mouse Click Sound check box, republished and the slide auto advanced. I'm wondering if a default sound file was somehow moved or deleted? I discussed uninstalling and reinstalling C7 onto my laptop, but that's a frustrating solution haha

Adding variables to match question slides

Hi All,
I am using Captivate 7 and need your help/idea/expertise on this. I am trying the following:
Adding a drag and drop slide wherein I should be able to drop the source to any target.
If the drop happens on the correct option (this is the challenge, how can I define the correct answer!), a message should flash saying "You are right"
If even a single drop goes wrong, then I the right answers should flash, (this I can create a new slide though)
But to set such conditions what should I exactly do? Please help.
Thanks,
Roja

The title of your question is bit confusing. Why should you have to add variables to match question slides?
The content of your question is totally different: each D&D slide can act as a question slide. It doesn't really have all the features of a question slide but most of them: Reporting, Score (only black/white, not partial score/penalty), Attempts, Actions On Success/Failure. When it is configured as a question its score will be reset when the user 'Retakes' a quiz with multiple attempts on quiz level etc. Progress quiz indicator will not be included however. And defining the correct answers is a breeze with the wizard or with the button Correct Answers.
The best part about D&D are IMO the 'Object actions': you can specify an advanced action for each drag&drop act and that is what you need. Do not use a simple action, because it will release the play head. That action can show a feedback text/object that was previously hidden, it can apply an effect to an object like flashing, etc. This blog post was written for CP8, but can help maybe:

Adding text to smart builds

I am using the Smart Builds feature adding 40 photos playing to a song. I'd like to add text to each photo in the Smart Build, but when I add a text box, it puts the same text on every photo. Is there anyway to add separate text to each photo in the Smart Build drawer? If not, this seems to be a glaring error. Who wants the same text on every photo in the build?

Roger, try this....
Select your smart build on screen - then go into the build section of the keynote inspector, proceed to the actions menu, (this is where your smart build can be edited.)
You can flag a box in there "set separate timings for elements" this separates your smart build. then add text boxes on your slide with your info and using the build in and build outs, time the text boxes to correspond to your smart builds images.
hope this makes sense, it is a bit fiddly, but it is a way around your problem. good luck with it.
Cheers

Program freezes when adding text to clip

Hi,
I have sent a 40 minute slideshow to PE7. I am splitting the slide show at various points and inserting short video clips. After having added text to both photos and video two or three times, I now find that the program freezes when I either try to add further text or even if I try to edit previously inserted text.
Has anyone a solution to this please?
Thanks
Jim
P.S. the reason I am adding video to the slide show and not the other way around is that I like the pan and zoom facility of the slide show which is not available as a transition in PE7.
Apparently I cannot add video clips to slide shows in PSE 7 - or at least not more than 5 seconds of video at a time.

Hi, Thanks for you reply.
The photos are between 1 to 3 MB each if thats any help, My Sony Handycam was set to 16:9 format but I can't select this in Project preferences which seems fixed at 4:3. The point is that I have used photos of this size in a project containing both photos and video previously without problems. I have not tried to splice video footage into an imported slide show before.
I will investigate further later.
Thanks again
Jim

Rotate Text Boxes on Master Slides

It would be great if the next release of Keynote had the option to Rotate Text Boxes on Master Slides.

You can rotate regular boxes, just not title and body...but yeah, it sure would be nice. Theme makers could create title boxes that aren't straight
On a side note, it would also be cool to connect text boxes so that one is a copy of another. Imagine a master slide that when a title is added to it, another copy of the title is also added behind it, enlarged and faded out. iDVD does this kind of thing now, but Keynote doesn't
By the way, putting feature requests on here won't get them heard by Apple. You need to use the feedback item in the Keynote menu inside Keynote to suggest features. That form goes right to the team that programs Keynote.

Multiple text captions on one slide?

Hi, i have question about multiple text captions on one slide of my project. I want o change content of text caption by clicking on different buttons on the slide.
There are 4 buttons on slide and in the middle of the slide there is text caption. Is it possible to change content of the caption by clicking the button or is there some way to do it different (hide or show different captions etc..)?
thx martin

Hi Mister C
I'm curious about something. You are using an action I've seen suggested elsewhere here. I use a similar approach but found that I had issues with the approach you are showing.
My approach is to use the rdcmndGotoFrame rdinfoCurrentFrame - 5
Personally, I've seen it where the way you point out failed in many cases for me. By "backing up" the playhead five frames or so, things then worked as the playhead drifted back to the pause point.
Cheers... Rick

Adding Text to Movie

How do you add texting, besides titles to your iMovie.
Also, is it possible to do a just a picture movie not like actual movies?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Not fully sure what you mean by adding text other than by titling. You could produce slides in something like photoshop with your text on, but I honestly believe that titling will do more or less all you want in this area (excepting special effect titles). If you want text over a black or coloured background, titling will do this for you, all you need is a black or other background.
If by picture movie you mean a slideshow, then yes imovie can do this, you simply need to use stills rather than video. One note of caution though is that imovie can be a little time consuming with very short slides (say 1/2 second or less) under which circumstances other editing applications may be more suitable.

Photoshop CC : Workspace Flashing Black When Inserting Guides & Completely Black When Adding Text

I recently bought Photoshop CC (2 Days Ago) and shortly after installing I jumped onto Photoshop CC and started to set up the prefferences for my personal use and started to just do some basic stuff and see whats new in CC. when inserting Guides & adding Text the workspace started to flash/stay BLACK. I don't know whats going on but my specs are better than the minimum requirements? Any idea whats going on? Operating System : Windows 8.1

I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only

I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only sends the original form without text. Once I've changed a doc in Adobe, how can I save it so that I'm able to use it with added text and notes? Also, I'm using a new iPad.

If you are using those apps or websites, they are likely viewing the PDF using iOS' built in PDF previewing, which will not show annotations and markup to the PDF. We have informed Apple of this issue, but do not have any insight into whether or when they will fix it.
Regarding the qustion about importing pictures, Adobe Reader does not provide any capabilities to import pictures into a PDF. To do this, you'll need to use Acrobat, available on your desktop computer.

How can I remove the underline from added text for tracing edits

We have a lot of content that includes underscores and when we use the track text edit feature added text is green and underlined. How can I change the properties of the added text to not be underlined?

Starting with FM11, you could specify a custom colour to be used for track changes, but the styles (underline, strikethrough) are still hardwired.
Even if you try to make the changes to the rack text edit conditions in a MIF file, they will get overwritten as the MIF is interpreted when opened by FM.

Adding Text to a photo...Need help

I'm new to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. I'm following the instructions for adding text to a photo, but I can't see what I'm typing. I can see the cursur, but nothing else. I can see the text in the Layer, but not on the photo. Please help.

Check the font size in the options bar. If it's really small you won't see it.
Look in your layer's palette and insure your text is in a layer located above the photo in the stack.
You might also check your image's resolution in the Image Size dialog. I've seen a couple of posts where someone changes the resolution to 1 with resample turned off...then can't see the text because it's too small even when they have large numbers inserted in the font size box.

Acrobat crashes whenever adding text

This occurs whether there is a text box to be filled in or using the add text function. There may be other things also crashing it but this is the biggest issue for me on my Mac host system. If I open the same documents in a Windows VM using Reader, I can enter text without difficulty.

I'm having a similar issue. Every third or fourth time I save after adding text Acrobat crashes with no meaningful reason (at least none in the crash message)...even though the added text is saved. I'm working through trying different text settings to see if there is a problem there. I'll post what I find.

Unable to print added text only in Acrobat Pro XI

User is trying to print added text that's been added to an existing PDF page. In Acrobat X she chose "Form fields only" under Comments & Forms from the Print menu. In XI it produces a blank page. The added text only shows up if she chooses Document or Document and Markups, but then she gets the entire document. She only wants the added text to print.

Thanks to all who commented here. I found that adding text using Tools>Content Editing>Add Text will not allow the user to print solely the added text. As everyone responded here, that's as designed. However, using Comment>Annotations>Add Text does allow the user to print solely the added text as she was used to doing in Acrobat X. I thought it was the same tool under two different headings, but obviously they interact differently in the print menu. Choosing Form fields only from the Print Menu's Comments & Forms panel will produce solely the text added under the Comment panel's Add Text tool without printing the rest of the document page. And the user doesn't have to turn the document into a form to do so.
