Edit Auto Captions

I'm surprised that I couldn't find a thread on this topic, so
here it is.
Adobe's auto caption text doesn't match my company's style
book (which is pretty much in line with
Microsoft's Manual of Style for Technical Publications.
Therefore, I spend most of my time in Captivate making annoying
changes to auto-populated caption text. Is there any way I can
modify the auto text to match my company's style?
For example, when Captivate captures my clicking OK, it
creates a text box with the phrase "Click the
OK button". Well, the company I work for believes that words
"the" and "button" are superfluous in this context. Therefore, I
always have to manually change the phrase to "Click
OK" and then re-size the text box. Also, our style book says
you don't "select" links, you "click" them. Therefore, every time
Captivate captures the action of clicking a link, I have to change
text and resize text boxes. Obviously, I don't want to turn off the
auto captions, since that would mean creating each text box from
scratch, which would be even more time consuming.
Captivate is clearly using a tightly-defined style to
auto-populate these captions. Is there any way to modify that style
so I can save all this time editing?

Hi ericbrettnelson
Yep, you can certainly change them! Here's how. Crack open
Windows Explorer and head to the following location:
Captivate 3:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 3
Captivate 2:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2
Inside the folder you should find several files ending in
.RDL (RoboDemo Language). Open the one named
CaptureTextTemplates_English.rdl in something like Windows
Notepad and you should be able to configure the text as you wish.
Hopefully this was helpful to you... Rick

  • Is there an issue with Edit Auto-Blend Layers in Photoshop CC 2014?

    The command Edit > Auto-Blend Layers in Photoshop CC 2014.1 does not seem to produce the expected results for me. For example, I used the Edit > Auto-Blend Layers command when I was doing the exercise on Adding Depth of Field starting on page 122 of the Photoshop CC 2014 CIB. The results: Instead of the foreground and background being both in focus, only the foreground was in focus. The background was out of focus. And, when I turned off visibility of the foreground layer, the background layer showed as transparent.

    There seems to be.
    See this thread:
    Since installing the latest update of Photoshop CC two days ago, Auto Blend for focus stacking is selecting all pixels from the bottom layer instead of selecting the ones in best focus from each layer. Has anyone else seen this problem?

  • How to edit photostream captions on Windows?

    Once photos are added to a shared iCloud Photostream album on a Windows machine, there does not appear to be any way to edit the captions/comments. Is this true? Any workarounds?

    Hi,
    No iam not using stornext for the windows clients.
    The mac and windows clients running on ethernet. The the mac clients have mapped the xsan volumes using AFP or SMB protocol and the edit in place works ok.
    The windows clients have mapped the xsan volumes through SMB but the edit un place doesnt work, the files are cached and doesn´t run as edit in place.
    Note: sorry by my english.
    kind regard.
    Emiliano
    Are you using StorNext FX to add the Windows clients to your Xsan? If so, then all you have to do is add the Windows Edit-in-place URI to each EIP device in the Devices section of the Java client Admin GUI (not the System Preferences pane). Once you've done that, EIP will work for the Windows clients as well. Here are the instructions for entering the correct URI syntax.
    If you are not using StorNext FX for your Windows clients, please give us more detail on how your system is set up.

  • Auto caption defaults

    I'm wondering if it is possible to change the default
    phrasing used in auto captions. For example, auto caption will
    write "Click the OK button" but it is our style to write "Click
    OK". Rather than having to go around and replace all of them, can I
    tell auto caption to use "Click <button name>" somehow? Maybe
    it's in an XML file somewhere?

    Hi Andy
    Sure thing. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the
    following location:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 3
    Once you are there, you should see some files named like
    this:
    CaptureTextTemplates_English.rdl
    Open the one for the language you want and use Notepad or an
    equivalent for the editor. Note that it may be good to make a
    backup before modifying these. Just in case.
    Once you make the changes, the next time you record the
    captions should say what you want.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Auto Caption not working

    Hi I have been trying everthing but can't get the auto
    captions to work am aware of the rule use Demo or Custom mode. It's
    really anooying, is this a bug or should it work. Vers 3.0.0 Build
    580 can anyone help Rick you seem to have answers can you?????
    Thanks

    Hi again
    You might try resetting your Captivate preferences file.
    Sometimes that fixes things. I've never known it to specifically
    address the issue you are having, but hey, it's worth a shot!
    To reset the file, close Captivate. Now open Windows Explorer
    and navigate to the following location:
    ?DriveLetter?:\Documents and Settings\?UserName?\Application
    Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
    *NOTE: ?DriveLetter? will be whatever drive you have
    Captivate installed on. ?UserName? will be however you logged into
    your PC.
    If you don't see this location or files, it's probably
    because Windows is “helping you out” and hiding them
    from you. To fix that, click Tools * Folder Options * View tab and
    ensure you are Showing hidden files and folders as well as
    DE-selecting the Hide extensions for known file types and Hide
    protected operating system files.
    Rename or Delete the file you should find in this location.
    The file is labeled
    captivate_v30.dat.
    Restart Captivate and give it a try.
    Beyond that, I'm unsure as to exactly why Captivate wouldn't
    automatically insert captions. Unless for some reason it was
    improperly installed. But in that case, I'd think other symptoms
    would present themselves.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Text Edit auto save

    Starting recently whenever I edit a text file with Text Edit a second file appears in the same folder of the main text file, with the +same name+ but with a tilde appended to the file name just before the .txt postfix.
    I understand this is the result of the Text Edit auto-save function, however, different from the previous behaviour (probably before the 10.5.5 MacOS update) these auto-save files are no longer automatically removed when the application is successfully closed.
    Does anybody have the same behavior ?
    Is this a correct behavior ?
    Thanks
    Piero

    They should close after saving or quitting the application. I have no idea where the tilde came from. Have you created a fresh account to test? If it works in TextEdit in the test account try this by logging back into your problem account...
    Quit TextEdit, go to Users/yourname/Library/Autosave Information/com.apple.TestEdit.plist and move it to your desktop then relaunch Test Edit? You may also need to move Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TestEdit.plist to your desktop also.

  • How to edit auto correct in mail

    After some use Mail auto correct dictionaty gets occassinally confused with custom words. I would like to know how do I locate and edit the custom dictionary.

    Same problem here too.  Maybe it happened with last update, did not seem to happen before.  Also, all my online mail boxes have this going on...
    message -> move to -> archive -> online name (all mail)
    with these exceptions.  My msn and yahoo accounts do not show at all and my 'on my mac' shows twice, once at the top and once at the bottom.  I think all 3 of these are pop3 accounts, if that makes a difference....
    Another weird thing is my msn account does not not show in the dropdown of 'move to' or 'copy to'

  • CUP - Editing Auto Provisioning Email Content

    Hi,
    I am looking into the possibility of editing the content of the Auto Provisioning email that is automatically sent out after user creation is done. Our policy is to send User ID and Password in separate emails.
    Below not provides some insight into editing the initial data XML file AE_init_clean_and_insert_data.
    [Note 1253720 - Compliant User Provisioning 5.3-Supressing Password Email|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1253720]
    Questions I have:
    1) If editing this XML file and re-loading will over-write the workflow configuration, then do I have to manually reconfigure all our workflows again or is there an option to export the workflow configuration and the import it back after re-loading the XML file? Which all existing configuration will be overwritten by reloading this file?
    2) If at some point in time we decide to revert back to the standard XML file provided by SAP, then we again fall into the same issue as in the above question. What is best approach?
    If anyone has experience in implementing the above note, then can you please provide some insight?
    Regards,
    Jay

    Your workflows wont be effected. If you however wanted to export the workflows you could do so along with intial system configuration under intial system data, roles and connectors.
    If you want to export workflows alone, you can only export the initiators.

    That sounds a very inefficient way of doing it. With
    Dreamweaver CS3,
    you can work with external CSS files without ever leaving
    Design view.
    Working with the CSS Styles panel takes a bit of getting used
    to, but is
    very powerful, particularly if you set the preference not to
    open the
    style sheet each time a change is made.

  • Cancel subscriptions: can't edit auto renewal

    Hi,
    I've tried absolutely everything trying to cancel my account and subscriptions but there is no way for me to turn auto renewal off. I log in follow all the supposed 'instructions' yet it doesn't allow me to edit the auto renewal. Can my account please be cancelled or at least the subscription turned off? I've already been charged again and I find it exceedingly irritating that I have to go all over the internet and still can't succeed, all the while my money is being taken.

    Hi Reg777,
    I would be happy to help! Your account is also currently "Processing," which means I can't cancel it just now. But, I'll keep an eye out for its status to update then take care of it for you. (Feel free to ping me back if you haven't heard from me in a day or two...)

  • Edit- Auto Suggest Photo Stacks stopped working!

    Premier Elements 10 funtion for automatically finding similar shots used to work fine.  Showed good suggestions of similar photos, which of course also helps you find duplicates that were imported from different computers etc. I'm on a new PC now and the Auto Suggest worked ok until I loaded another 15000 photos, now totalling over 17K photos.  Now the stack function returns "There are no recommended stacks from the selections" message no matter if I Select All, or just select a few shots.
    PE10 did crash once while I was indexing the imported material, but on retry seemed to complete the indexing ok. 
    Any ideas?  Is there some limit to what PE10 can handle? Could the crash have damaged the code?     THANKS

    Dave0518
    The use of the Elements Organizer 10 and its Auto Suggest Stacks feature is probably best answered in a photo editing environment than in the video editing sector although both Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 are standalone program that each come with Elements Organizer 10. My thought here is that you might find more users in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum who have addressed this issue before.
    Nonetheless, I would ask "What are the pixel dimensions of these 15000 + photos that you loaded into Elements Organizer 10? Have you tried deleting the settings file for the Elements Organizer 10 to determine if that action would have any affect on what you are observing?
    By the way, how many photos were already loaded when you loaded another 15000 photos? What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10/Elements Organizer 10 running on?

  • Edit auto correct suggested words

    Is it possible to edit the words that are suggested when the autp correct feature is turned on? There are many misspelled words appearing in amomg the suggested words that I wpild like to remove. I am using an LG G2 running the latest Android software and have no personal dictionaries stored. Thanks.

    Try tapping on or near the word and see if you can make an a adjustment.! 
    As an added suggestion: You might try this go into your user settings find Language and Input or similar, Tap on that and go into your keyboard settings see if has the option to to uncheck spell checker or if there is an option to uncheck auto correct.. see if that helps this issue..
