Can I create a pick-list of customised colors in Cap 5?

Hi Folks I am using Cap 5.
I am creating/updating a set of presentations. I can only use 5 specific colors as laid out in my employers brand guidelines.
I would like to create these 5 colors and add them to the color pick list that appears for text animations, fonts etc. Ideally I would like to just pick them whenever I need them.
At the moment every single time I need to use one of these 5 colors I have to enter in a hexdecimal number into tiny little fiddly field at the top of a color picker, EVERY - SINGLE - TIME.
It is REALLY slowing me down and driving nuts. It feels like I am going about this in the wrong way.
Can anyone point me in the right direction because I can't figure it out myself.
Thanks
M

Hi M
Unfortunately there simply isn't a way to do this in version 5. But having said that, I can think of a simple way that you might make things easy. Create an image that has a "color strip". It can be vertically or horizontally oriented. Insert this image on the first slide and configure it to run for the rest of the project.
That may seem a bit odd, but here is how I envision it working. When you are dealing with almost anything color related in Captivate, you typically have a color picker eyedropper that may be used to set the color. Soooo, my thought here is that while editing, you could click the eyedropper and just choose the color to set it. And that should prove infinitely simpler than repeatedly typing the hex codes, no?
Once editing was complete, you then delete the image.
Cheers... Rick

  • Can Pages produce a "pick-list"

    Can Pages produce a "pick-list" of many commonly used items, from which I can "pick" the items needed for an individual client by selecting them, then printing the list of selected items coustomized for that client?
    I wanted to find an app just for this need, but it doesn't exist, so I hope it can be done with Pages.

    Pages is pretty much a standard word processing application, so if I understand you correctly, no, you cannot. A database application such as FileMaker Go might be more suitable for this sort of use, or perhaps something like ListMaster.

  • How can I create email distribution lists in my contacts on my macbook air?

    How can I create email distribution lists in my contacts on my macbook air? I could do this on a pc using outlook, but I don't see how to do it on my new mac.

    UPDATE, ok, I figured out how to make a list, but how can I remove specific contacts from the list? The "Remove from Group" is greyed out & not available.

  • How can I create a property list inside a property list?

    How can I create a property list inside a property list?
    I have a string(that I pulled from a text member). the string
    is actually a propert list.
    the property list has another property list inside it..
    how can I use this list ? how can I conert the text to a list
    that director will understand?
    thanks.

    Not sure if this is what you're wanting, but to make a list
    from a text
    member you could do something like ...
    myList= []
    -- Fill myList with values --
    repeat with i = 1 to member("YourTextMember").line.count
    add myList, (member("YourTextMember").line.i)
    end repeat
    Haven't checked it, but it should work.

  • Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion I can't create a task list in my calendar app.  How can I create Task lists

    Can anyone point me in the right direction to find info on how to create a task list using Mountain Lion?

    The To-Do list thingy in iCal (now called Calendar) is gone in Mountain Lion.
    The replacement is Reminders, in your Applications folder.
    Also, have a look at "Notification Center" in System Preferences.

  • Can I create nested address lists?

    I want to create a set of nested address lists so that I can manage a largish group of contacts in a voluntary organisation with a hierarchy, rather like the way I manage contacts in Work using MS Outlook (sorry for mentioing the competition!). I tried adding an existing list (call it List1) to a new list (call it List2) which also has to carry some additional individual contacts. When I do this, "List2" shows the individual contacts and "List1" as well; when I select it for the "To:" line in a new email, "List2" appears OK, however when I send the email it is only sent to the individuals and does not go to the members of "List1".
    Am I doing something wrong or does Thunderbird not support this?

    Basic info on 'Address Book'.
    There are two default address books which you cannot delete.
    'Personal Address Book' and 'Collected Addresses'.
    You can add further 'address books'.
    File > New > Address Book.
    Enter a name and click on OK
    Address books can be created to hold specific contacts eg: Family, Clients or if you have a lot of people you can sub divide them.
    eg: A - M in one and N-Z in another
    You can also create 'Mailing Lists'.
    Mailing Lists are sub groups to an address book.
    Mailing lists are designed to allow selected contacts that are already in the address book be grouped together so that you can send one email to that group of people in your address book.
    So, a person in a 'Mailing List' must also be in the associated address book and must have a valid email address.

  • How can I create a dropdown list of all 12 months without having to type each month manually?

    Hello,
    We are creating a writeable/fillable Form PDF that asks for a person's birth month, birth date, and birth year.
    We want to make filling the form as easy for our respondents as possible. For the blank that asks for the birth month, we would like to create a dropdown list of all 12 months.
    We also would like to  make the creation of the form as easy as possible for us. Is it possible to avoid having to type all 12 months into the list?
    What about for birth years from 1901 to 2000?

    And you are aware of the possible options for listing the months and having an optional export value for each month.
    For listing the months, you can use a number, a 3 character string, or the full name.
    For the export value, the full name, the 3 character value, the 1-2 number, or the 0-11 JavaScript value.
    I would look at deciding how you want to populate the drop down box and build a one page form with just this field. You can then insert that page into a PDF and copy the field as needed and then delete the inserted page. Or you could create an FDF file to create the drop down box.

  • Is there a limit to custom views that can be created on a list?

    As the title says, is there a limit to the number of custom views that can be created on a SharePoint list?  I did a few online searches and someone mentioned 50, but one of my list already has more then 50 custom views so I'd like to know what the
    true limit is.
    Anyone know?

    The only hard limit is to the number of views that can be shown in the drop down on the UI which is 50 (first 50 actually). I would agree with the assessment made here that the actual limit might be hypothetical but it all comes down to the performance in
    rendering and retrieving these views.
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/8a0f9d4a-626a-4a54-916a-a1e347835c5e/what-is-the-limit-if-there-is-one-on-the-amount-of-views-that-can-be-on-a-single-sharepoint-list?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
    I would suggest re looking at your approach to address the requirement by creating these many views and whether something else (dynamic pages, metadata navigation, term navigation, content search web parts etc.) can address the actual requirement
    and in process actually improve page performance.

  • SharePoint Designer 2013 (2010 Platform Workflow) - How can I create a new list item with a SPECIFIC content type?

    In SharePoint 2010 I created workflows that used the 'Create list Item' Action, which then set the Content Type ID (so I could create documents of various types in a document library). 
    We just switched to the SharePoint 2013 platform, and now the drop down for Content Type ID is blank in all of the workflows that are still using the SharePoint 2010 platform.  Is there any way to create a list item with specific content
    type?  Even if I could just input a string into that field instead of using this blank drop-down.  Please help! 

    Hi Sarah,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you cannot create a new list item with a specific content type using SharePoint 2010 Platform Workflow.
    I tested the same scenario in my environment, and the Create List Item worked fine with the specific content type.
    How did you create the content type?
    Please check if the content type is added to the list/library the workflow associated with.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • How can I create a XMP List with multiple selection

    Hello,
    I try to build my own XMP custom panel. Herefore I need a couple of lists with the possibility for multiple selections (e.g. the choice for one language or multiple languages).
    But how is it possible to integrate a list into a panel? There is no XMPList inside the custom folder. I have experimented with the standard mx:list and an array collection for data binding into the list. But how can I write the user selection into an XMP field? Example: In the List the user choose three languages (DE, EN, FR). Is it possible to collect the choice into a string and to write the result into an XMP standard field (e.g. dc:description)?
    A further question is, if it's possible to use the "HTTPService" to bind an external xml-file with the languages and other informations into the panel or is it only possible to work with an array collection inside the code?

    Hi Markus,
    the FileInfo SDK does not offer a ready-made list component allowing for multi-selection.
    So you would need to implement one using the FileInfo SDK API. Your component "XMPList" would inherit from mx:list and would need to implement the XMPRead and XMPWrite events and talk to the XMP using the IXMPAccess interface within those event handlers.
    Please have a look at the Programmer's Guide, section "XMP Flex components" and at the API description available in "docs" for further guidanc.
    Hope this helps
    Kind Regards

  • How can I create a bulleted list where each line builds in independently?

    I would like to make a bulleted list in my video where each bullet fades in as the person says them in the video (it is not at a constant rate). So far the only way I've accomplished this is to stack 6 or 7 of the 'Fade' title generators on top of eachother and adjust the length of them to match the audio. It seems like there must be a better way to do this as this solution is quite combersum when trying to align all the bullets (wish there was a bullet format in the text formatting box) and it uses a lot of computing power to make adjustments on so many generators. Thanks.

    I am sure there is a way to do this in FCP or Motion. However, what I do is to build my bulleted list in Keynote against a green background. Set up the Keynote presentation as 1920x1080.
    I then use it in FCP or iMovie as a greenscreen effect.
    After creating the bullets in Keynote, I export them as a QuickTIme Movie with a timed advance. I then import the QuickTime movie and edit it as I need it.
    Keynote has dozens of text effects and builds, including the fade that you need.
    Here is a quick and dirty sample.
