Formatting answers all at once on a question slide

I'm brand new to Captivate 4, but I have found no way to format all of the answers on a question slide at the same time, either as I'm creating the answers or after I've created them. I have to change each one individually, which is mind-numbingly tedious and laborius. Is there a quick, simple way to format them all at once?

Hi there
What exactly are you wanting to format? Font and color? Placement? All?
I ask because if all you want is an easy way to format the text characteristics, try clicking File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions. This will give you a Word document where you may change said characteristics. Then you save and import back into the project to influence changes.
If it's placement, you need to submit a Wish Form to ask for it to be added at some future point.
Cheers... Rick

Blank boxes when I insert question slides.

I posted this yesterday and no one replied... Hopefully
someone can give me some advice. Thanks!!
I am trying to create a new project in CP3 and once I publish
the project, there are 2 blank boxes on each slide and the movie
stops on the second slide. These projects consist of 8 PPT slides,
7 image slides, and 5 questions slides... and this project is
narrated. I have tried creating the project again hoping the blank
boxes would go away and that didn't work. So I published this
module one slide at a time to try and determine the root of the
problem. I can publish all 15 slides of images and PPT as a SWF
file with no problem. But once I insert question slides, that's
when the blank boxes appear and the module stops on slide 2. I
think this is odd considering my question slides are the last 5
slides of the module but the blank boxes start on slide one. When
previewing each slide, each 5 slides, or the entire project, there
are no problems. It's just once I publish the project. I've tried
publishing to SWF file and a stand alone disc.. same problem. I
also tried bringing up a module I had done before on CP1 and
converted the files, made no changes to the project and just
published it with CP3 as SWF file. I got the blank boxes and the
project stopped at the second slide. The question slides I have are
simple T/F or multiple choice slides and I don't have them set up
to record results.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've published about 25 of
these modules in CP1 and never had this problem in the past. I
would be happy to send someone an example of what I'm talking
about.
Thanks!

Thanks for responding. No, I don't have any interaction on
the project. I even tried to create a new project and inserted 2
PPT slides (with text only) and then one question slide... I just
made up a simple T/F question just to have a question slide in that
project and once I published it, it happened again. If I deleted
that question slide and published, the blank boxes were gone and it
didn't freeze up.
I was on the phone all morning with Adobe support and they
suggest I reinstall the software. All software disks for my company
are located at home office so once I receive the software tomorrow,
I'll try it again. If that doesn't work, I'll certainly appreciate
any help.
Thanks!

Adding variables to match question slides

Hi All,
I am using Captivate 7 and need your help/idea/expertise on this. I am trying the following:
Adding a drag and drop slide wherein I should be able to drop the source to any target.
If the drop happens on the correct option (this is the challenge, how can I define the correct answer!), a message should flash saying "You are right"
If even a single drop goes wrong, then I the right answers should flash, (this I can create a new slide though)
But to set such conditions what should I exactly do? Please help.
Thanks,
Roja

The title of your question is bit confusing. Why should you have to add variables to match question slides?
The content of your question is totally different: each D&D slide can act as a question slide. It doesn't really have all the features of a question slide but most of them: Reporting, Score (only black/white, not partial score/penalty), Attempts, Actions On Success/Failure. When it is configured as a question its score will be reset when the user 'Retakes' a quiz with multiple attempts on quiz level etc. Progress quiz indicator will not be included however. And defining the correct answers is a breeze with the wizard or with the button Correct Answers.
The best part about D&D are IMO the 'Object actions': you can specify an advanced action for each drag&drop act and that is what you need. Do not use a simple action, because it will release the play head. That action can show a feedback text/object that was previously hidden, it can apply an effect to an object like flashing, etc. This blog post was written for CP8, but can help maybe:

Can't overlap smartshapes or animation on question slides

Hi All!
I need to overlay some information on a multichoice questions, the information is on a smartshape/ or a swf animation. I have tried all i can but the overlay keep staying behind the questions..
dose anyone know how to accomplish this on a question slide ?
thank in advance.

All the embedded objects on question slides have always top priority, they are on top of the stack.
I found some workaround for shapes, as you can read in this article: Buttons on Question/Score Slides in Captivate 6? - Captivate blog
The idea is to put the shape on the slide before the question slide, time it for the rest of the project and always on top, then show it on the question slide using an (advanced) action.
I didn't try with animations however.

IOS7-Can we please have the "List" format of Google Calendar back so I can see my days events all at once?!!?!

In Calendar tap on the Search icon (magnifying glass).
You can also see them on the Notifications pulldown.

My computer froze during match initial formatting. Now some songs are uploaded others are "greyed out." If I go song by song, I can update match. How can I do this all at once and also update album art?

Hi gdogk,
If there was an interruption during the initial iTunes Match process and you are now having issues with playback and album art, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful. In particular, you may want to turning iTunes Match off, then back on again, as noted here:
If iTunes Match is already enabled on your computer or device, try turning iTunes Match off and then on again.
Mac: While holding down the option key, choose Store > Turn Off iTunes Match.
Turn iTunes Match on by selecting Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
Windows: While holding down the shift key, choose Store > Turn Off iTunes Match.
Turn iTunes Match on by selecting Store > Turn On iTunes Match.

Can Captivate 5 allow user to answer all questions and then submit?

Good morning,
I am doing a management comparision so our team can select our standard quizzing tool. I am comparing Quizmaker by Articulate and Captivate. What we are not going to do is say; "this tool is our standard and we will always use it." We know that not one tool will do everything we need all the time. But I need to provide the pros and cons of each tool. Which is root of my question below:
As for CP, I thought there was a way to allow a users to answer all questions and submit them at the end. But I cannot seem to find that. Quizmaker does a really good job with this and the review is really quite good. I find the skip and back buttons kinda buggy in that a novice user could very easily skip through each and every question and get a 0% at the end. Ideally, I would like for them to be able to answer all the questions and submit them all at once.
Can CP5 do this?
Thanks,
Eric Fields

The option to submit all scoring data to the LMS only at the end of the project is dependent on selecting a particular SCORM template when publishing the movie.
If you have Captivate 5 with the latest update, or Captivate 5.5 this option should appear under the SCORM options.

HT1386 I have formated my computer many times without deauthrization of itunes and used deauthrize all pcs once in this year. Now how to deauthrize my computer because i have used all my 5 authrizatons on same computer and not able to authrize my new pc

If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.

Collections Missing Files - Is there a way to fix them all at once?

Hello,
Due to new computer, all files has been moved to a new location.
Obviously, the collections I have can't find them now and reporting "Missing Files".
Now, I need to fix them by finding them folder by folder, and since the collections contains items from many folders, It will take hours to fix them all so I wondered if there is a way to tell Bridge about the new location of the files all at once.
I hope I managed to explain what I'm looking for.
Thank you,
shlomit

Which OS? If on Windows you can find your Bridge collections list at (win 7 bridge cs6 example):
C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS6\Collections
The files in Collections folder are .filelist - text xml format. You could copy filelists from the old system's Collections folder to the Bridge AppData Collections folder in your new system so long as all the referenced files listed in the collection filelists are in the same disks and folders on your new system.

Is there a way to format multiple images at once? Change colour mode or resolution?

Is there a way to format multiple images at once? Change colour mode or resolution?

It's very easy to make an action.
Go to window > actions
In the actions panel, simply click the 'create a new action' button, it starts recording as soon as you've created it (when you've given it a name).
Now you can apply the changes you want to make to the images on the file you have opened.
After you've done all you need to do. You click the 'stop' button. The action is now ready to use. And you can apply the changes you made on all the other files.
Then you can continue how gener7 explained.
I usually include a save and close command, so that the whole batch doesn't end up opened after running the script.
But if you do that you have to create a new file, and save it to your computer before you start recording the action, otherwise the save command will be replaced by each file. And you'll end up with one edited file in the end. At least for as far as I know!

In Photoshop Elements (13) - why can't the filters be downloaded all at once?

In Premiere Elements, the effects can be downloaded all at once - it takes awhile but it's convenient. Why not the same for Photoshop Elements? I think it used to work the same way in previous versions.

Hi Jeff,
Well the question remains – why, in this version, can’t they be downloaded all at once instead of one at a time. Sure, I don’t need ALL the filters at the outset, but it’s nice to just be able to get it done. On the CD/DVD version... well... that was then, this is now.

Is it possible to IMPORT songs to iTunes all at once?

Obviously, one can add their whole music library to the iTunes library all at once, but even if you bought this music, if you did not IMPORT it using iTunes, it isn't registered as being owned by you. So, as a result, any music that you have added to your library without importing it is foreign to iTunes. It will not let you get cd track names, for example, without importing it using iTunes. This makes things very inconvenient, because apparently the only way that you can tell iTunes that you own music is by importing tracks one at a time. Having even dozens of songs, that is an extraordinary hassle. I personally have 60 GB of music, and could never hope to import files one at a time. If anybody knows of any ways of importing files to iTunes either all at once or in large chunks, please contribute to this thread. Additionally, if you share the same frustration as me, please add to the thread so I know I'm not the only one who is frustrated by this technicality.

If you're using iTunes 7, you can copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly. You will have to prevent automatic synchronization. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
MacMuse: Computer crashed
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.
