Captivate 5.5 Is it possible to import PPT slides in Notes Page view?

Hello experts,
This may seem like an odd question. I'd like to display all the notes in the page of a PowerPoint deck that provides samples of code and explaintions of what the code is doing. It is too much information for the slide, which just has discussion point bullets, and I think it is too much for the closed caption pane. It this possible to import PPT slides in Notes Page view?
Thank you so much in advance for any hints, tips, and replies.
Kindest regards,
P

I found an alternative but circuitous way of achieving the desired result. In PowerPoint I opened, then I printed the PPT presentationto a PDF selecting the Notes Page option instead of Full Slide. By then using a PDF converter to convert it back to PPT I was able to insert the PPT as is. In other words it "looks" just like the PPT Notes Page view, which is exactly what I wanted. The code snippet and notes were intact.

Is it possible to import new slides and keep the audio?

Hi,
is it possible to import new slides and keep the audio?
The designers have changed the housestyle of the powerpoints,
but the audio has been recorded in captivate in the meanwhile. Is
it possible to keep the audio of the files and replace all the old
powerpoint slides with new ones? (not one by one by hand off but
all in one button press ?)
Thanks,

Hi again Wouter
Are you saying that your Library has lots of other audio that
isn't really used on a slide? If so, try right-clicking the Library
panel and choosing "Select Unused Items". This should highlight all
the sound files not in use. Now press the Delete key and they
should be removed from the Library view.
Now you are faced with just what is left. You may not know
which clip goes with which slide. So try this. In your Film strip,
audio attached to the slide should appear as a Speaker icon in the
corner. Click the Speaker icon and pop down (or up) menu should
display. Choose "Find in Library". This should highlight the
associated clip in the Library. Now, if you like, you may
right-click the file in the Library and rename that to something
like "Slide X audio" (so you know which clip goes with which
slide).

Bug when importing Ppt slides with animation: color changes to foam green

Hi everyone,
I am using Captivate 7 and I am experiencing what seems like a bug when I try to import Powerpoint slides that have animation effects and then publish the video as HTML5.
I am using Ppt 2007 and importing the slides as .pptx files using the Import> Ppt slides command in Captivate.
An example of Ppt slide that I need to import is this: in the slide, there are two groups, created by grouping together several objects (lines, shapes etc). One group has a fade effect applied on it, while the other group has a diagonal down right movement applied to it.
When I import the slide in Captivate, the following happens:
If I do not select the High fidelity check box, then the Ppt slide is imported as static, and no effect is shown in the HTML5 video, although the effect is shown in the Captivate preview.
If I select the High fidelity check box, then the Ppt slide is imported with the effect, and with the original Ppt colors, but as soon as I press F3 to play the slide, or F4 to play the whole project, or I publish the video in HTML5 output, all the original colors change to foam green for the fill in and black for the shape outlines. Furthermore, the text boxes are displayed with their box frame displayed:
ORIGINAL PPT IMAGE:
RESULT AFTER CAPTIVATE IMPORT:
I have read in the forum several posts on this issue, eg colors being changed to foam green even with static Ppt slides, and I tried to apply the suggestions, but none seems to work.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi there
As Hyperlinks don't survive the import process, perhaps try removing the links and just applying the desired color in PPT before importing into Captivate?

PPT slides will not advance on their own, pausing automatically in Captivate 6 import

So frustrating, This was working around 8 pm lst nite, then all of a sudden the slides will not advance on their own. I've read several posts and tried most. I've unchecked the compression settings in Captivate 6, made sure I have the patch, I uninstalled 6 and tried using 5.5, then reinstalled 6 with the patch update. I've used Continue on enter and Go to next slide on Exit. NOTHING WORKS! and I need this by noon! what am I doing wrong!! This is Powerpoint 2007 slideshow with animation but no slide transitions going into Captivate 6. Please help I hvave 4 more to do this week by Wednesday.

Hi,
Can you check this in your PowerPoint.
Go to a slide select the object(s) that has animation applied, go to Animation tab and check if the animation is timed to appear ON CLICK with the Slide, that property would not migrate, you should change the drop down to With Previous .
Repeat this for all the animations. Go to Captivate library, if the Presentation is linked you can update it (if it is not linked switch to link from embed)
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Animations not following imported ppt slide

When I import a ppt slide into Captivate 3, the animations don't come with it. Any suggestions? I am importing as animation not background

Thanks JL. I am aware of the radio button and tried several
times with the setting on "animation." No dice. I'm now thinking
that it may be some incompatibility between my version of
Powerpoint (2000) and CP 3.
I appreciate you responding.

Import PPT slides with same slide dimensions as CP slides.

Hi, I am using Captivate 4 and my project size is set to 1015 x 605 per client specifications. I need to create some content using PowerPoint which I will then import. Is there a way I can ensure my PowerPoint slides are the same size as my Captivate 4 project so when I import it won't resize the PPT slides and then cause distortion. Not sure how to size PowerPoint slides according to pixels.

Hi there
See if the link below helps. Note that you will need to scroll the page a bit to see the chart.

PDFing a PowerPoint presentation (slides) in Notes Page print layout - is it possible?

Hello,
I have a PowerPoint presentation that I would like to disseminate as slides AND as a booklet. I used the Slides Master to format the slides, and I used Notes Master to create the booklet. In PowerPoint, I can, by default, print the slides. I can also print the booklet by changing the layout to Notes Pages, and everything looks great.
Now on to PDF.
I can, by default, create a PDF of the presentation with Print > Print Layout > Full Page Slides (default).
But Acrobat XI Pro ignores my attempt to create a PDF of the Notes Page View (the booklet) with Print > Print Layout >Notes Pages.
Has anyone succeeded in getting a PDF of anything other than the standard PowerPoint slide view?
Thank you for any tricks, tweaks, & wisdom on this!

Can't import ppt in Captivate 7

I have just installed Captivate 7 (v. 7.0.1.237) on my laptop with Vista 64-bit os. When I try to import ppt slides, the option is greyed out. How can I fix this?

Import > PPT slides will be available if you are inserting PPT slides to an existing Captivate project. If you are creating a new one, you should select File > New Project > Project from MS PowerPoint.

Is it possible to import data into Captivate 5?

Is it possible to import data back into a Captivate 5 lesson, that was stored to a server or database from earlier in the Captivate 5 lesson? We would like to redisplay data from one screen to another. Some if it is quiz results, some just responses to questions we ask the user and we sould like to show it again for discussion on the next screen or in an entirely separate lesson. Thanks.

You can easily store data in user variables that will persist for the duration of the user's browser session for a given Captivate lesson. But if you want to have the same data persist over multiple browser sessions you need to write this data to cookies on the users PC or else write it to a database somewhere online and pull it back from there in later modules.
The first option using variables is quite easy to do with Advanced Actions.
The second option using an external database is much more difficult and would require ActionScript programming skills as well as database programming skills for the specific database technology you use and the scripting technologies used to write and retrieve data from it. If you don't have these skillsets yourself, you're going to need to put together a project with a budget to hire the designers and developers required to pull it off.

Is it possible to import html files and export them as scorm?

Hi,
is it possible to import html files (like a website) and export them as a SCORM compatible ZIP file?
Thanks!

You can embed html pages in a Captivate slide and they are included in the SCORM zip file when you publish, is this what you mean?

Adobe Captivate freezes when I try to save, delete a screen, import a slide, etc...

Hi all,
Big problem here. I am using Cap 5.5...things were working relatively fine. Tried to import one PPT slide into a small 15 screen project and it froze. I can only get out through the Task Mgr (CTRL + ALT + DEL and delete task). I tried clearing the cache under preferences but the YES button freezes - the window just stays open!
Same thing happens when I do most anything now, delete a screen, publish...seems like anytime a pop-up window appears with info or instruction Captivate freezes and none of the buttons to exit/cancel work. I can't save or do any work.
What can be the problem? I am using Windows 7.
Thanks so much! S

Another possibility. Were you by any chance using a multiple monitor setup before and now you're using a single monitor or a different multi-monitor setup?
If so, your 'unresponsive' Captivate might actually be due to this. You cannot see another modal dialog that has opened because it's opening off screen (where Captivate thinks the monitor is located).
To test if this is the issue, next time it goes unresponsive, hit the Escape key to see if you get back control.

Hi at the moment my ipod is on manual sync mode. Is there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library? Possibly more importantly is there a way I can transfer the ratings from my ipod onto my i-tunes?

This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating
Thanks

Is it possible to import the iPhone from the US to the UK?

Hey,
Is it possible to import an iPhone 3GS from the US to the UK, and use it on the O2 network? I don't want to waste my money first!
Thanks a lot.

A US phone that is carrier locked to AT&T could not be legally unlocked in the UK. The other issue is the iPhone warranties are locked to the country the phone was purchased in, so if you were able to eventually use it, if you had a problem you would have to get the phone back to the US for service. Kind of a Catch 22 there.
