Captivate imported PPT Accesibility problem

I have a Captivate file with an Imported PowerPoint which is reading all the ppt text in my screen reader when published, in the wrong order. I do not want the screen reader to read anything imported from PowerPoint, only what I write in the captivate accessible text. How do I stop it from reading the imported ppt text, but still read the accessible text that I have placed within captivate?

If you REALLY want more control over the screen reading order of your slides, I would suggest you are better off NOT using PPT to create them. Build them from scratch in Captivate using native Cp objects. Then you can manipulate the layering of all objects and set the tab order for interactive objects.

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.

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.

Captivate 7. audio problem. Echoes

Captivate 7. audio problem. During playback my audio (mp3 inserts) echoes in a major way.

With the help of Adobe tech support we found the answer. Two things:
Run an update
If the echo is due to an import (eg.PowerPoint)
Go back to PowerPoint strip any sound you may have in it out
Bring the import in again making sure you do so with "High Fidelity"
Insert sound again

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?
Cheers... Rick

Correct.
After that just select the new folder location in iTunes> Advanced settings.
Incorrect.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library and select the iTunes folder.
This will read the iTunes library.itl file in this folder and the library as it was previously will be opened.

Import from catalog problems

Cannot import from catalog, LR quits and I get about 2 or 3 photos imported.
Adobe was no help, they had no idea why.
Have tried to "import from Cat" twice. Moving two different catalogs into my main desktop catalog. Both did not work.
All three catalogs ( two from laptop and my main LR cat) work fine and I can import photos no problem.
Would like to import all the changes of photos that I have made with these two catalogs that I did on my laptop. (Both cats are on an external hard drive).
Thoughts anyone?
I am having some issues with my video card. Screen right now is a bit pink. This would be the fourth video card I will need on this Mac Pro. Would this be the cause?
Thanks.

Do I need to export the laptop cats if thy are already on a separate hard drive?
It might help. Exporting a catalog sometimes cures corruption in the original catalog. Try exporting into a new catalog and then importing the new one on your desktop.
Never heard of the last thing you mentioned. Can you describe more?
Lightroom has a preferences file, which sometimes gets corrupt and can cause all kinds of weard behaviour. You can delete (or rename away) the preferences file, and LR will build a fresh one when started. If you rename it, you will still have it if you decide you want it back.
To rename the preferences file, rename the file
"[username]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom3.plist"
to something like
"[username]/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.Lightroom3.plist.old"
while LR is closed and restart LR.

I can't import my photos from my digital camera (Sony) this problem is recent. I have imported photos without problem a problem before.

I can't import my photos from my digital camera (Sony) to my iPad, this problem is recent. I have imported photos without problem a problem before. Is this problem due to the IOS 6 update? How can I fix it?

I have the same problem and apple needs to fix this - but in the mean time you can manually select the vertical photos then "import - import selected" and you can get your verticals. We need a better fix. THIS IS A BUG!

Help - Captivate 4 preview/publish problem....

HI
I am having trouble with a project that I am working on in Captivate 4. The problem occurrs when I attempt to preview my project, all I get is a black screen, I have attempted to preview from other points in the project but still get this black screen.
I also published the project and the problem is still there, albeit, no black screen this time just a blank screen - when I right click it says movie not loaded.
I have compared the project settings with other projects that do open up and work fine and cannot find any differences! Most irritating!
Does anyone have any possible solutions at all?? Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex
Attached screen shot of issue:

I did a test project of 3 slides - created a template and then added some info - I copied and pasted objects/text etc from the existing project that I am having problems with. Interestingly I dont get the black screen when I preview/publish but I do get some interference on the slide from a jpeg used on Slide 1. For info I've screen shot slide 2 before and after preview to show issue. It feels like I am going to have remove captivate and re-installbut really dont want to have to do that!
Anyone come across this before?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Importing PPT to Flash

Hi,
I want to import a PPT file into Flash, can anybody suggest
me a way to do it. My requirement is to integrate Voice Over in PPT
and convert it to video.
As PPT does not provide good support to synch VO with
animations, I am thinking to import PPT into flash, synch VO and
then export it into video. Comments and suggestions are welcome...
Cheers :)

Problems trying to import PPT

I have a very simple, 3 slide PowerPoint file saved as type
"PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation". When I attempt to import it into
Captivate CS3, it "thinks" for about 3 minutes, then says I have
3,249 slides in the PPT. The slide previews are blank. If I attempt
to import any of the slides, they are blank. I have a screen shot
if needed.
What's going on here?

Hi Donger,
I just solved my problem with the import of PowerPoint
shows. I read a Tech Bulleting that says to re-install the Flash
player (see:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=f951a12a&sliceId=1
). I followed the steps outlined and now the timport - with all the
animation, works fine.
Hope this helps

Captivate 4 does not show imported PPT animated slide in Branching View

Hi Captivate Users & Gurus,
I've imported an animated PowerPoint slide into a Captivate 4 project. There are 9 slides altogether in the project and the imported slide is number 3. My issue is that once the project plays (in Preview) it only goes from Slide 1 -> Slide 2 automatically. (It's set to show for a specific amount of time)
The problem is, after the time period it should move automatically to the next slide, however It won't proceed to Slide 3 UNLESS I put a "next button in for the user to click on.
The Branching View shows Slide 1 and Slide 2... but Slides 3-9 don't show up at all. (I've attached an image of the Branching View) If I add "next" buttons to those slides then they show up in the Branching View, but ideally we want for the project to play without having the user click to move forward.
In the TOC, all the slides are recognized just fine - any idea why Captivate can't link these slides up to continue automatically? Does the imported animated PPT need to be tweaked somehow for Captivate to see it?
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated - it's basically driving me nuts!
Thanks in advance,
Aarti

Hi Kerry,
I think the earlier issue in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1944947#1944947 may solve this problem as well.
I think I was doing it backwards by setting the time on the slide properties rather than the object properties (video or otherwise). Once I implemented your suggestion for the thread mentioned above the Branching View now shows all 9 slides! Which is a huge step up from what I was seeing earlier.
*testing now*
I just tested to see whether the project plays through from Slide 1 -> video slide -> animated PPT -> Next slide in course without having to use next buttons and it played through perfectly. I may just set the next button to show up after the video plays/ animated ppt plays so the slides are consistent visually.
Thanks once again!
