Captions in Design Template

Hi,
I have a problem: I'm using a design template for creating my projects, but the captions that I have defined in my design template don't save in my project.
Could anybody help me, please?
Thanks.

Hi there
By saying "but the captions that I have defined in my design template don't save in my project" are you meaning to tell us that if you choose to record additional slides you aren't seeing that they are used?
If I've understood that correctly, it's because the captions used when recording aren't part of the template. Instead, they are part of your local Captivate preferences on the PC.
Cheers... Rick

Design template, setting size & position for success caption etc

Hi
We have a Design template but it only seems to template certain elements of a Quiz slide (which is what our template is for).
I'd like to be able to set the size and position of:
Question
Review Area
Question number 1 of x
Success/Fail captions
Back, skip, clear, submit buttons etc
Can this be done?
Thanks
Anita

Hi Leslie
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
There's four in my team using CP4 so having a template is helpful to make sure everyone is using the same standards in our projects. We need consistency across the company and the template allows us to achieve this.
I've just been reading more from the help file and it appeas you can only make changes to the object itself. The Size and Position tab you see when you're in a project is missing when you go to change the properties in the Design Template.
One of my team created the template and found these limitations so I thought I'd see if anyone had come across the same "want" and how they might have resolved it.
I think in this case the answer is NO, it can't be done.
Cheers

How do I apply a Design Template to an existing project, and...?

I made some customizations to one of the design templates and saved those changes. I want to have these changes applied to existing and new projects, how do I get this to happen? Also when making the customizations to the design template, I seem to be able to only make certain changes. For Example: The first item is a TEB - I am able to change the success and failure caption boxes but only in regard to style, I can't seem to change the text. It reads "Type success text here." I want that to always read "Correct!" so how can I implement this without have to change the text for each item in the project?
Thanks for your time!

After you create your design template, you apply it by opening a project that you wish to apply the template to. Then you click the Window menu and choose Design Template.
This opens the Design Template panel. From there you choose a template to apply to your project.

Indeed you may only apply the visual characteristics. The text is influenced by editing the object later in the project.

I don't think you will be able to influence this. Not with a Design Template. What you can do is create a Project Template with the captions pre-configured. Then you could copy and paste as needed to accomplish it.
You should add your voice to others that wish to see more flexibility with configuring defaults such as what you are asking. You do this via the Wish Form.

Design Template to change ONLY text boxes

I am afraid of the Design Template option because all I need to do is globally change ALL the text in my project to be ARIAL 11.... while it seems that Design Template would do this, there are all these other captions, buttons, etc. on there and I want those left alone.
There seems to be no way to delete pages or features from this strange thing called Design Templates... does anybody know... if I apply this Design Template will all of my other buttons, boxes, headings, etc. change also?
What a horrible idea if it is so. Completely worthless for the person who has been give ONE design change only.

Because it DOESN'T WORK worth a crap, that's why.
"Apply to All" is the most overrated feature in this product, in my estimation. (Well, aside from Aggregator). It has hit or miss results, and when it by chance DOES work, it changes a bunch of other stuff too, such as header graphics deleted.
Wish it did work though, I am having to change each and every text box by hand.

Design Template issue

Hello,
If I make a new project and proceed to apply the Design template that I have made, ALL Text Captions that are there and yet to be made will inherit the design from the Design Template. I'm pretty sure that I've nailed down what a Design Template was supposed to do, but here's where my issue starts.
I would like to have a different "Template" to use while recording. I for example use transparent text captions in the project, but would like to use different text captions while recording (Using the auto record, expecting the auto record to do it).
So for example:
While recording: "Adobe Blue" Text Captions
For the rest of the project: Transparent Text Captions.
I have a rather large project that's currently using transparent text captions, but would like to have Adobe Blue for the auto-recording. Setting the template would go berserk on all my current transparent text captions.
I could select the slides and then apply the template to those slides only. But I am hoping Captivate can distinguish user-made Text Captions and those used while auto-recording. This is probably not the case, but at least I've asked =)

Hi there
I believe you are overthinking it.
A Design Template is simply applied to an existing project to influence changes. Both Design Templates and Project Templates have no influence over the captions used when you record.
To configure the captions used when you record, you click Edit > Preferences... > Recording node > Defaults node.

Insert a BSP Application in Web Application designer template (WAD)

Hello to all
I like to place a BSP Application in my Web Application designer template (WAD). Have someone a good idea how to display a BSP in a web item.
We use BW 7.0 .
Thanks a lot for any good idea.
Christian

Christian,
There are many ways you can do this ...
1. In Portal - you can have two iviews for the same and run both of them together ( there was something called client side eventing or something like that before - I am not sure if it still exists
2. In WAD - use frames - use one frame for the WAD template and the other for the BSP ( I have never tried it in WAD 7.0 but it works in 3.x where you can introduce frames
3. Possibly have the BSP as a link in the template so that it opens up separately ..?
4. Instead of embedding the BSP into your WAD - embed your WAD into the BSP ..? this is also possible since the output of the template is HTML - but then you will have a hard time getting the context menu , export to excel etc which are all taken for granted in WAD.

Design Template for a PDF

Hey guys
I need some help!
I need to design a MEDIA KIT for my business, and I need template for my PDF document. I am not very artistic when it comes to graphic design..so I need something to give my content some sex appeal!
Is there sometime of "template" I can upload into my acrobat project and use? Are these usually free? I have done some searching on the adobe site and on google, and cant come up with anything!!
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hi!
Thanks for the reply!
Maybe I am looking for the wrong program...I usally hire a marketing company to do this type of work, but thought I would cut my costs and try this myself.
I am looking to create a media kit similar to the one attached in this message. I need a VERY simple design template that I can add images and text into. I am under the impression that I can use ACROBAT to create a PDF document (such as the media kit) and that maybe I can start with a template (the outer design of each page with headings etc)
If you open the attached media kit...can you tell what program (if not acrobat) I would need to create a similar document? Is this design made in Photoshop or something?
Thanks so much!!

Parallax responsive design template needed

I would like to play around with parallax responsive design templates. I would like to find a simple template without all the bells and whistles that come with the major template house's examples of parallax responsive design. Can anyone direct me to examples of clean and simple parallax responsive templates?

While designing Responsive layout we have three css frameworks: Skeleton, Bootstrap and Foundation.
If we are creating CMS Responsive layout (where user can edit using Contribute), is there any way to decide which CSS framework is more preferable for Contribute?
Use whichever stylesheets best support your project goals.

I am having trouble getting buttons to work in Captivate 8 trial version using a responsive design template. Any suggestions?

I have a trial version of Captivate 8 that I am evaluating to determine if it will be an option to replace a software we currently use. However I am having a lot of trouble getting even the simplest of tasks to work using the responsive design template. To troubleshoot I created 2 projects 1st a completed empty project using responsive design and a 2nd blank project using the blank project template. I created an audio file that the button, when pressed, will play. I can place a button on first slide of both projects, rollovers work fine, but in the responsive design project buttons will not work to trigger the action. Is this a known issue in the trial version?

A Blank project is a normal cptx-project, not a responsive project, it has no breakpoint views like a responsive project, it is meant to have always the same layout but on publishing you can choose to have it 'rescale' automatically. A responsive project allows you to create slightly different layouts for the three breakpoint views: Primary (desktop/laptop/landscape on tablets), Tablet (portrait on tablet) and mobile (phones, where the browser has much lower resolution than the real phone resolution). The 'look' of a project, whether it is responsive or not will be defined by the Theme that is the default theme at that moment, and with the default theme colors that you have at that moment. I think in newbie mode the default theme is White (not sure, never used newbie mode). If you choose another theme as default theme, a blank project and a responsive project will open with that theme applied to it. All themes coming with CP8 are responsive, but you can use them also for normal projects, in that case you only use the object styles for Primary view. Each object style normally has 3 versions, for the 3 breakpoint views.

Interior Design Template slider problem

Can anyone help me with the Interior design template? I edited the title tag and suddenly the sliders decided to stack on top of each other. I figured that the home page template must be screwed up so I created a new site with the template. I copied and pasted the Home page code into a new Page Template on the site and changed the module numbers. But the sliders are still stacking on each other.
Here's the page: feetforlife.com/index2.html
I need help FAST if anyone can help.

Problem solved thanks to Curtiss Prickett. See his message to me below to solve the issue. Thanks Curtiss!!
What I think may have happened is that the BC default editor may have stripped a critical piece of data from the UL that is required for the orbit slider. The only way to fix it would be to upload the fixed template file and upload via Dreamweaver, or you can open the "Develop" tab and open the "Home Page.html" file in the template folder. The slider code should look like the code below paying attention to the "data-orbit" on the UL:
<div class="slideshow-wrapper touch" id="hero">
    <div class="preloader"></div>
    <ul data-orbit>
        {module_webapps,....,a} <---- (your module number)
    </ul>
</div>
Hope this works for you. - Curtiss

Pre-designed templates?

I am new to Dreamweaver. I have designed sites in iWeb, but it won't give me access to the HTML in order to change colors on a pre-designed template. I downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver, but I can't figure out if it has any pre-designed templates for me to start with or not. If it does, would someone please tell me how to access them? Thank you! (I called support, but they said that they do not support the trial version.)

I'm looking for a program that will give me more versatility but won't require me to write all of the code from scratch.
DW writes the code for you.

Where are the InDesign CS 5 pre-designed templates?

Just bought CS 5 Design Premium - if it came with pre-designed templates I can not locate them. Can someone advise where they are located? Previous versions had them located under a "template" folder when you opened InDesign.

Take a look at what's on the exchange. You might find something there: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?s=5&from=1&o=desc&cat=225&l=-1&event=produ ctHome&exc=19

Architecture/design templates for SOA-BPM?

Dear All,
Can anybody point me towards architecture and design templates for SOA-BPM?
It can be platform-agnostic, say from general BPM standpoint; and/or customized to cover product-specific considerations e.g. SOA Suite 11g or OBPM 11g. A logically structured one covering both would be too ideal.
regards,
sibendu

You may find some useful stuff among the documents in the IT Strategies from Oracle library. Much of the content is vendor-neutral, and there are a number of reference architectures. The focus is on enterprise architecture, but SOA and BPM play a significant role. It's all free to registered OTN members.

How to design templates with Microsoft Excel

Hi
When creating a new template in EBS, we have "Microsoft Excel" as one of the the template types (just like RTF). How to design the template if Excel is selected as the template type. I uploaded a blank EXCEL file and the concurrent program errors out with "Excel Processing" exception.

hi,
r u uploading the blank excel..r the excel u got from the Analyzer for Excel from the BIpublisher.
One small clarification on my previous post..like the .xdo not the excel name.Inside the excel it is the sheet name.
If u uploading the excel that u got from the Analyzer for excel means it should work.
Plz select the template type as Excel after uploading the template.
Its working for me.
This link will be helpful for u

How do I insert a photo into a pre-designed template?

Help! I downloaded a 30 day trial of Photoshop to design our Christmas family newsletter. Christmas is over and my trial will expire by the time I figure out how to insert a photo!!! This is not very intuitive and I'm exhausted! Can someone please walk me through step by step? Thank you!!!

We don't know what your template looks like and how it is structured, so nobody can advise specifically. the rest are reayl PS basics/ fundamentals - copy & paste the image as a layer or drag & drop it into the other document.
