Copy or Duplicating a Slide - Problem w/Editing

I am working on a presentation (in Captivate 4) that was started by importing a PowerPoint presention.  I would like to make the first/opening slide also the last/closing slide with some minor changes.  I have tried copying the first slide, moving the copy to the end of the project and then I go and make the changes to that last slide (through the Edit PowerPoint option in Captivate, since the text boxes were created in PP).  However, whatever changes I make to that last slide are then automatically made to the first, original slide.  I have also tried duplicating, rather than copying the slide, and the same thing happens.  Are these slide somehow linked and I need to unlink them, or is there something else that I can do?
Thanks.
Jean

Ahhh, gotcha!
Here is what I would do. Make a copy of your PowerPoint and your Project. From the PowerPoint, make the change I suggested. Then use the copy of the Project to see what will happen.
Who knows, you may be pleasantly surprised!
My thought here is that hopefully Adobe anticipated that folks might encounter your exact situation. In that case, Captivate may leave things mostly as is and allow bringing in only the new and changed bits.
Cheers... Rick

  • Problems copying and pasting multiple slides from one captivate to another.

    I have been able to copy and paste several slides into
    another captivate and suddenly this has stopped working. I am using
    the ctrl key to select multiple slides (a set of 3) and the using
    the Edit drop-down to select copy slide. Then, I click on the other
    captivate and click paste slides. It is only bringing 1 slide, the
    first one, and not the 2nd and 3rd... any ideas. I've had another
    set of eyes look over my shoulder... and we're both scratching our
    heads.
    Also, for some reason the text entry boxes are being copied,
    but the failure caption associated with it does not come along. It
    also copied the button but lost the association with the text entry
    box. WTH?

    This might work, this might not. I have copy paste problems
    on a regular basis and all that works for me is closing Captivate
    down and then re open and continue. At worst, a reboot tends to
    solve this glitch in my experience.
    Good Luck

  • When copying or duplicating files, some images move

    I'm using CS5 and CS5.5.
    When copying or duplicating In-Design files, some of the images move slightly within the image frame while others
    are perfectly fine. This doesn't happen every time, appears totally random, and can be rectified by relinking the images
    in the original document and the new document.
    Has anyone had a similar problem and if so are there any solutions?
    Many thanks
    Rick

    Not enough information. What EXACTLY are you doing and how are you doing it?
    Screenshots would help, too.

  • Duplicating a slide with animation

    One of my slide recorded typing into a textbox. When I played
    the demo, it stopped in the middle. There was also a click box in
    the slide. I removed the click box and the slide played out. I then
    duplicated the slide and put the click box in the duplicated slide
    (click OK). But, in this slide again the textbox text is only a few
    words and not the whole sentence.
    How can I get this duplicate to have the played out, whole
    sentence so I can add the clickbox to move to the next slide? I
    don't want to record again the scenario again because there are
    many timed elements that occurred a few days ago.
    Is there a way to add the whole sentence into the duplicated
    slide manually (editing it in)?
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Problem with Edit IN function between LR 2.3 and PS CS3

    I recently upgraded my system to a Windows Vista 64 bit Core 2 Quad with 8 GB.  Lightroom now works and loads images the way it should. I do have one major concern and need any help possible.
    I am using LR 2.3 in 64 bit and PS CS3 ver 10.0.1 (which is 32 bit - loads slowly but otherwise works fine).  The problem I am encountering is in LR Develop / Photo / Edit In...  - using any of the menu items:
    "Edit in Abode Photoshop CS3"
    "Open as Smart Object In Photoshop"
    "Merge to Panorama in Photoshop"
    "Merge to HDR in Photoshop"
    "Open as layers in Photoshop"
    Photoshop opens but no image(s) are exported and I receive the message in LR - "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS3 could not be launched."
    Photoshop, however, was launched but no image exported and so I can't work on the image in PS.  The appropriate TIFF image is created in LR for the first two menu items - nothing for the last three menu items.
    I can create a partial work around by setting PS as an external editor, however, I can't use 4 of 5 of the menu items.
    All the menu items work fine in Windows XPpro.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    PS I also tried the most recent Window 7 RC with exactly the same results.
    Thanks

    I wasn't shouting - I just cut and paste the exact text and font in its original size and type as was shown in the message.  Never had a thought that someone would be offended by cutting and pasting exactly what was in a message - it would appear that John Williams saw it for what it was.

  • Problem with 'Edit Locally' command -- Due to IISProxy?

    Hi,
    We have a problem with 'Edit Locally' command since we are using Windows Authentication. Our architecture is:
    SAP EP 6.0 SP2 Patch 28 (Solaris)
    IIS Proxy (Windows 2003)
    The situation is:
    If we access to SAP Portal using old url (directly to Solaris) using form-based authentication we do not have any problem with 'edit locally' command.
    However, if we access to SAP Portal using IISProxy and Windows Authentication we get an 'Operation failed' error message.
         Java plug-in console shows the following message:
    cargar: clase com/sapportals/wcm/app/docapplet/DocApplet.class no encontrada.

    Where is the problem? Is due to authentication method? SAP Portal or IISProxy configuration?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your comment,
    Now, we have tested with version 1.5.0_01 plugin version but the result is the same: 'Operation failed'
    This is a very important topic to solve before installing Windows Authentication in a productive environment.
    Has anybody any solution?

  • CS2 Pixel Problems when editing

    Hi, I am an amatuer Photoshop user.  I have recently had problems with editing pics either resizing or adjusting levels,  saving then trying to post to a website.  The pictures show up awfully pixeled.  I downloaded the same pics without editing and they look fine.  I have also had pics printed and I dont have the pixel problem.  I assume something is wrong with my PS CS2 software.  Is there a update to fix this problem or do I need to delete and reload my PS CS2 software program?

    Further information on this problem:  It seems to be linked to the condition of the data fields in the Revise HyperTrend window.
    Within this window is a box containing data lines corresponding to the items to be graphed.  The headings are:   Expression    Line Color    Min/Max/Pos/Height.
    There is room in this box for 19 lines of data.  If more than 19 Items are entered, a scroll bar appears to the right.
    It appears that attempting to adjust the widths of any of these fields (to view more of the data in a field, for example) triggers this problem.  It may also be triggered if the width of the data displayed is covered by the scroll bar.
    Can anyone figure out why this is happening and what to do about it?

  • Automatically copy format to new slide

    HI all,
    I'm new with Keynote and I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, but I certainly can't seem to find it. I'm putting together a boring, bulleted presentation and have adjusted the master slide to the format I want. Changed font, size, bullet indentation, etc. However when I add a new slide, none of the format from the prior slide is copied to the new slide, it reverts to the original master slide format.
    Is there any way to not have to redo the formating for each slide? I tried to save as a Theme, but that didn't seem to work.
    Thanks for helping!
    Steve

    duplicate a master slide and rename
    make  changes to the slide as required
    save as a new theme
    when creating a new presentation, from the tool bar;   select the new custom theme,  then select the new custom master  slide

  • What resolution & order of work to scan slides for Photoshop editing

    When editing all done I would propose to save at 300 dpi. If the photo/slide requires no editing, I would also scan in and save at 300 dpi.
    My slides, however, need a lot of work. They have deteriorated over the years and need - colour correction, removal of colour casts, brighten up shadows, brighten up colours etc. etc.
    I have read many books and tips but they all seem to think I want to  produce prize winning images with amazing time consuming enhancements! I  just want, as I have seen from other threads, to get into a simple routine and crack on through the pile of slides to produce acceptable digital images!
    My simple mind suggests give Photoshop as much to work with as possible!
    I have:
    - a Minolta Dual 3 AF 2840 Slide scanner which has many features akin to Photoshop - curves, Levels etc.
    - Photoshop 6.0.1 and Elements 2.0 - not very up to date I am afraid!
    Three questions:
    1) The maximum Scanner resolution is 2840 - I would have thought scanning at this best to get the most information of the image into Photoshop. Would this seem right - I can resample down to 300 dpi at the end?
    2) How much editing should I do in the Scanner - to give Photoshop the best information to work with - e.g. should I use Levels/Curves in the scanner to brighten up the shadows for Photoshop etc?
    3) Once in Photoshop for final editing, what is the best order of work and which tools best to use, bearing in mind for, say colour cast, you can use Curves, Levels, Colour Balance, Variations etc, etc.- it seems colour balance is best for this from what I have read. My suggested routine is:
    Use Scanner to scan and do initial editing:.
    - Clean slide
    - Crop
    - Set 2840 Resolution
    - Pixel polishing etc
    - Use Colour balance for colour cast
    - Curves/levels to bring out detail from the shadows
    - Scan
    - Save as TIFF
    Photoshop
    - Crop
    - Final Overall Tonal adjustments - Curves and Levels?
    - Final Overall Colour casts - Colour Balance?
    - Adjust specific tonal adjustments etc. for selected areas - Dodge, Burn etc?
    - Other adjustments - Clone out blemishes etc.
    - Unsharpen
    - Resample to 300 dpi and save as JPG or TIFF etc. for required purpose - usually JPEG
    Does this sound right - any suggestion for variation etc. will be most welcome?
    Any other advice also most welcome!
    Tony

    Dear Marian,
    Thanks for the prompt reply - it sounds like it is just what I want  to hear!
    Just to  double check my understanding! Do you agree, then, that it is a good  idea to scan slides (and negatives for that matter) at the maximum  resolution for the purpose of further  editing in Photoshop?
    As you say, Photoshop will reduce  the ppi automatically for larger images than the slide. Most of my final printed  output will be 6x4" but it still gives me scope for a half decent print  at 8x11" if I want.
    As I understand it, Slides and Negatives are pretty dense  and can accept high resolution scanning whereas to scan a magazine  page, for example, there would be no need to scan at more than 300 dpi -  in fact to do so may even produce funny results!
    I know  people can get carried away with resolution. I do get amused when people  get excited about their super megapixel cameras when they ever only  display the results on a screen or a small print!
    Thanks  again for your comments - if you can confirm the above, that will be one big issue solved for me.
    Tony

  • Posts are duplicating like bunnies when I edit them in Posterous since the latest Beta Update??? wtf?

    When I go to edit any post on my [http://whatgetsmehot.posterous.com Posterous] blog, the html and media including photos and videos are duplicating like bunnies if i do any editing (like going from rich format to html and back) all since the latest Beta Update??? And after that it will crash because it has multiplied anywhere from 4X to ?X times.
    I submitted a crash report today but i didn't save the info
    I've, of course, done all the usual (or i wouldn't be here). Cleared Cache multiple times...there were some funky warnings coming from the error page thing about co-something or other and this is what i have tonight: Warning: Error in parsing value for 'background-image'. Declaration dropped.
    which i realize is nothing...
    I have never heard of this at all.
    Btw, I uninstalled all my addons and am running on nothing but what comes with my Windows XP and from FF.
    Any thoughts?
