Cannot edit PowerPoint from within Captivate 5

Hi all,
I've imported PowerPoint slides into Captivate 5, and when I click "Edit PowerPoint (Presentation or Slide", Captivate freezes on the "Creating Temp File" window. It never moves past 0%. I've attached a screenshot. I've tried multiple times to edit the PPT, but cannot get it to link back to the file. Any suggestions? I'm on a tight deadline.
Thank you!
Jen

Hi Dana,
Is it possible for you to share the .ppt file with us so that we can investigate the issue on our end...? Please send the file [email protected]
Thanks,
nsukumar.

Oracle Forms 11gR2 - Cannot deploy locally from within Forms

I cannot deploy locally from within forms. The server is up and running and I can deploy the form by putting the correct URL in the address line of the browser window. When I try to deploy from within forms it comes up with some crazy URL that differs everytime.
This is what the URL should be and this works from the browser:
http://machinename:7002/forms/frmservlet?form=WRD608ADMIN_11g.fmx&userid=&otherparams=useSDI=yes
Here is one of the URLs it came up with when I try to run it from within Forms:
http://localhost:60231/lysVL2VjqT33znjfvLwanktVRxTIc6dEwVeRNXXRmhYU2qjf
Localhost is always there, but the rest varies.
In Forms, I have the Preferences, Runtime set to:
http://machinename:7002/forms/frmservlet
Where machine name is my PC, it is the same for this address as the URL above that works directly from the browser.
So what am I missing?
Thank you in advance.

Generally speaking, it is discouraged to manually edit any of the configuration files if they are managed by WLS Console or EM. In this case, default.env is managed by EM. Therefore, changes to the file should be done through EM. If however, you want to alter the file manually, the following is likely the best way to accomplish this:
1. Stop the WLS Admin Server and Node Manager
2. Locate the proper file you wish to edit. By proper I mean, there are several copies of most config files. Most of the config files found in the Oracle Home are actually template files and are not used at runtime. Altering these will not give you the change you want. The default.env you want would be here (assuming Windows)
C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\ClassicDomain\config\fmwconfig\servers\WLS_FORMS\applications\formsapp_11.1.2\config
If you are using a "Development" installation type, the above path will reflect AdminServer instead of WLS_FORMS. Remember that Development installations are not for multi-user purposes. Production deployments require the "Deployment" installation type, which can also include the Builders.
Do NOT make any changes yet.
3. Once you find the correct file, create a backup copy. Then open the file for edit (not the backup).
4. Make the desired changes and save.
5. Restart Node Manager and Admin Server if you plan to use them.
For more information about using EM to manage your configuration, refer to the product documentation:

Cannot send email from within iPhoto

Using OX X 10.7.5 cannot send email from within iPhoto. I get this error message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply."
If I change the preference to use email, everything goes fine but I lose the formatting feature.

iPhoto Menu ->
Preferences ->
Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.
Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them. Check out the Stationery...

I cannot email photos from within iPhoto (v. 9.5.1). When I hit send I get a message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply." This happens for both my iCloud account and my Shaw account. What to do???

Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts? If so:
1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane. This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

Cannot Launch .app from within Acrobat/Reader

I made a software program that runs in/from Adobe. I burn it to DVD and sell it. Our PC users are fine, but our Mac users are having trouble. Within the program, there is a link/action set to "Open a File". The "file" is actually a Filemaker Runtime. When our Mac users click on the link/action, there is a message that says "FileMaker Pro.app is set to be launched by this PDF file......". Click "Open". The next message says "Could not open the file".
There are 3 types of Filemaker Runtime files ending with extensions .ACR, .ZAR, .ZAS. I've created File Associations for the Mac to read these types of files and open with FileMaker. Our Mac users CAN open the files by drilling down through the folders and opening the file directly - but we don't want them to have to do this! That defeats the whole purpose of the link/action!
My questions is: Why can't Adobe launch the FileMaker Pro.app, or open the "file" from within? Why do our customers have to go into the folder, drill down and open the file directly?

Tembowa - Thank you for trying to help me.
What do you mean by "next to" the PDF?
The link/action to "launch" the .app file is "in" the PDF document.
Please help me understand your question.

I want to edit the text within Captivate after importing slides from PowerPoint

Hi,
Background: I import slides from a .pptx file. Once the slides are created inside of Captivate, I want to edit the text on the slide, but I can't; it's all become part of the background. So, I am left with two options: 1) open the .pptx file, edit the text, and then re-import the slide 2) Manually create everything on the slide inside of Captivate. This is so labor-intensive. I was hoping Captivate 7 would address this, but what seemed could possible address it - High Fidelity - isn't available for mac. I'm sure others have this problem too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you'd better look at Adobe Presenter if you need only to convert a PPT to an eLearning course?
Captivate is much more powerful, but its principal goal is not to convert PPT's. Each PPT-slide is converted into a movie slide so that all animations will be transferred properly. Personally I never create presentations in PPT but always directly in CP. You could import only the backgrounds, and create the other objects in CP. Images can be imported into the library, audio as well.

Cannot edit text sufficiently within the Photo E-mail service (Elements 11)

Greetings to all, a little help required please....
Just purchased Elements 11 - excellent product at the price and am having a great deal of fun using it.
One frustrating flaw within the Photo E-mail service....
I've been using the Adobe e-mail service and it sends e-mail just fine having set up the account as required.
Each new e-mail appears with the text "Here are the files I want to share with you."
Now I'd like to replace that with some different text. I can delete it and replace it on the first editing page, and it stays there after I click 'Next' to the following 'Customise Layout' section.
Clicking on 'Next' after this page, we have the final e-mail page, and the text has reverted back to 'Here are the files I want to share with you' again......
I can delete it again, but cannot type in any further text anywhere on that screen.
Any help on this??
Shame, because the programme generally is superb. Have transformed a number of pics already, and it would be nice to use the e-mail prog that's built in as I'd like to use it, adding text as required. Otherwise, why have all the font and layout choices available if not??

I tried the same and its changing at my side.
Try to reset you preferences :
Open PSE just to the Welcome Screen and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Mac: Cmd + Opt + Shift) and keep pressing.
Click on organizer from the Welcome Screen but keep pressing the keyboard keys - don't let up.
You will get a little dialog box asking if you want to delete the settings file. Click "Yes." You can let go of the keyboard keys now.
This will rebuild the file for you and often solves the issue.
Try to send the email again.
Thanks

How to choose correct version of editing app when choosing to edit image from within InDesign?

Hi all,
Normally when I wish to edit an image that is in a layout in InDesign I either press option-click on the image or I ctrl-click on the image and choose to edit it using Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC or whatever app I need to use at any specific time. Well, I also have backups going that backup my entire system and so all of my applications get backed up as well.
Well, what is happening now (since today) is that when I choose to edit the image, it is opening Photoshop (or Illustrator, etc.) from my BACK-UP drive and not within the app on my main drive. So, even tho' I already have Photoshop open as I am working in InDesign, when I try to edit an image it will open up the BACKUP copy of Photoshop AS well I have tried to choose "other" when ctrl-clicking on the image and choosing to edit...but when I navigate over to where Photoshop is on my main drive, I cannot choose the main app because it seems to show the main Photoshop app as a folder with the package contents therein.
How on earth can I correct the path to the correct version of Photoshop where I need to do the editing?? I now have to go about things a roundabout way by navigating to where the image is in the finder (via ctrl-clicking on the image link in the LINKS panel and choosing "show in finder") but this is taking twice as long:(( It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have as many images I need to work with that I currently do.
Any help or advice will be much appreciated:))
Thank you kindly,
Christine

Just guessing...
Does the problem exist if Photoshop CC on the main drive is open? If not, consider setting it to open when the computer starts up. The active instance might take precedence over the inactive one.
Usually, the last-installed instance of an application is the one that operating systems (OS X & Windows) associate with a document file that calls for the application, for example, when double clicking in Finder/Explorer. It's common to see the newest release invoked (say Photoshop CC rather than Photoshop CS 6) because the newest release is usually the last one installed. Because Adobe CS applications usually install new versions of common files, it's recommended to install releases in chronological order if it's necessary to reinstall applications when there are multiple instances on the same computer. For example, install Photoshop CS4, then CS5, then CS6; if an earlier release is installed when a newer is present, the earlier common file(s) may cause problems for the application. A consequence of this is the normal, but sometimes annoying, behavior that when launching an application by launching one of its files, the newest release is opened because that's how the operating system works.
In your case, it's possible that the operating system sees the backup drive's Photoshop installation as the newest installation, and launches it. Perhaps backing up Photoshop CC makes that instance appear newer to the OS. Consider leaving Photoshop CC out of the backup operation. If that works, fine! If not, you might try starting the computer from the backup drive, running Photoshop, then quitting and restarting the computer from the main drive. If that doesn't fix the problem, perhaps try starting from the backup drive again, then reinstalling Photoshop on it, then restarting from the main drive. If this works, it may "hold," or some operation like backing up, might negate all your smart tricks.
Perhaps one of these strategies may be a permanent fix.

Importing and editing PowerPoint (animations) in Captivate 5

<banging head on desk> <and cursing>
I started my Captivate by importing a PowerPoint slide show. I've added audio and am doing most of the animation in PowerPoint since it's lots of bullets and some charts and things. I thought it'd be easier to manage this way and wanted to see how it all works since I'm new to version 5 of Captivate.
So I edit the PowerPoint, go back to Captivate, update the presentation and it seems to be working okay. Then I thought I'd try something different ... what if I edit just the slide so I don't have to wait for the entire thing to update?
IT WRECKED MY ANIMATION. (waaa!)
I spent a lot of time getting the animation perfect and the edit I made is the only thing now animated, the rest shows up as a group.
Did I do something wrong?
Is there a preferred way to work with Captivate and PPT together? Is it a crazy idea I have that I'm wanting to control the animation in PowerPoint?
Captivate doesn't have the control of working with paragraph level animation, does it?
Thanks,
Jo

Hi Jo,
Do I understand it all right: your issue was originated when you tried to edit one slide with the roundtripping from Captivate to Powerpoint? What is indicated in the Library besides the Presentation? Which version of PPT are you using?
I prefer myself to have everything in Captivate, because imported PPT-animations are just FMR and editing in CP is cumbersome. But the roundtripping is there to be used of course and should work. I hope that your CP-version is up to date?
A bulleted animated list could also be spread on different slides if you do not want the workaround with different Text Captions.

Mk:@MSITStore cannot open file from within RoboHelp

Have recently upgraded to RoboHelp 8 and now see the much discussed "Cannot open the file: mk:@MSITStore:<path>" error but only when trying to view .chm files from RoboHelp for Word, by clicking "View Primary Layout". Weirdly enough, some projects display the .chm correctly when clicking "View Result" right after generating the help file, some projects do not. Viewing .chm directly from output location is always fine. For very small projects, the "View Primary Layout" button seems to work. For very large projects, the error message always occurs. I've un-registered and re-registered hhctrl.ocx as well as downloaded, replaced and registered the previous ocx version (4.73.8412.0) as well as re-registered itss.dll The OS is Windows XP Professional with IE 7. Suggestions please? Thanks!

I recently ran into a problem viewing some pdfs and Word Documents in a generated html help file.
Setup:
pdfs and .docs in baggage files
links to the baggage files created in tables
2 tables in each topic
pdfs/docs in first table in each topic opened without a problem
pdfs/docs in second table would not open - address bar display:
(Example)
mk:@MSITStore:C:\EOCs\!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\BlueMedicare_EOCs.chm::/2012_EOCs/2012_WS_ Book.pdf
(Pause for much gnashing of teeth, pulling of hair, angst, frustration and thinking) but no pdf (or Word doc)
I can't change registry entries or any other computer settings. No administrative rights.
Anyway, it couldn't be an outdated registry entry because within one project, some pdfs and docs displayed as expected and others didn't.
Checked to see what the differences were in the tables/cells that worked vs the ones that didn't.
Looking at the HTML, I found "target=_blank" in each row of the tables that failed to display a baggage file.
I replaced "target=_blank" with no replacement text - I left Replace with blank.
Voila! All pdfs and docs open just as expected.
I hope this helps someone.

How to open an executable file from within Captivate

Hi guys,
I wondered if any of you guys could help me...
I am using Captivate 3 and I have created a project in this and exported it as a standalone executable file.
Ideally I would like to link this to another standalone executable file exported from Captivate, so is it possible
to create a button in the first file so when it has been exported, if I click on this it opens up the second standalone file?
Thanks for your help in advance.

I'm pretty sure that, for security reasons, the projector app that Captivate uses for stand-alone EXEs is sandboxed: you won't be able to access the API of the host operating system, so you won't be able to launch any apps.

Cannot Make Calls From Within Contacts

This has been a major problem, sometimes (it is random) when I go into my contacts, I cannot call someone by selecting their name and clicking the big green dial button. I must dial by entering the numbers manually. However, the problem is solved when I restart, but it reoccurs after a periods of usage (again, random). This does not seem to be an isolated problem, I have searched around and there seems to be others with this problem, but no solution has been offered. Thanks! If anyone can offer any insight into this, it will be greatly appreciated ^_^.

Simply cannot open file from within Illustrator CS3

When working in CS3 in 10.5.8 I go to open file and select a document nothing happens. It is as if I did not attempt the command. This just began happening about a week ago. I've been on CS3 for over 2 years. In order to open each file - I must locate the file in its folder and double click on it to open the file. However going to open recent files does work. I have tried re-launching Illustrator by holding down the Shif/Option/Cmmd to refresh the prefs but that did not work. Any ideas? thanks.

Good job on your troubleshooting so far. Answer could be in the OS rather than within Illustrator. Try running Applications>> Utilities >> Disk Utility and fixing the permissions.
Mike has the probably cause of this if repairing the permissions with the disk utility does not work do not give up on this procedure.
You can do it manually in case the disk utility over looks this folder.
Control or right click on the folder where these files are and then go to get info and where it says Ownership and Permissions check to see if all the users listed have permission to use the contents of the folder, it will say read/write.
This can also be true for specific files and for directors higher up like folder for a client that contains these other folders,or partition of a drive which contains the folders and parent folders as well as for an entire hard drive so you have to check the entire hierarchy on occasion. If it is a foder or higher directory there is the option oncce you set the permissionfor the directory to have it apply to all files and directories contained within.
Mike's advice and the folder are fine then it might be a corrupt settings folder. So you can try this as well.
1. Quit Illustrator.
2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS4 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
