How do you prevent auto slide progression?

Hi All,
I'm fairly new to Captivate and am looking to use it to develop a learner-paced e-learning module consisting of a number of slides. However, I am finding that when using Captivate's playback bar, the slides automatically progress, where in fact what I want is the project to stop at each slide, allowing the learner to press 'back' or 'forward' when they have finished reading the slide.
I am sure I am missing something very obvious here, surely! If not, is there a way round it?
Regards
Josh

Welcome to our community, Sheryl
If you are talking about pausing between slides when you move from perhaps slide 1 to 2 to 3 and so on, the way it is normally done is by using Click Boxes or Buttons on each slide. With Captivate 4 or 5 you could accomplish it using a Widget. There is one included that is named "Perpetual Buttons".
If you simply want the project to open and remain paused until the user clicks to proceed, you may configure the Auto Play option found in Edit > Preferences > Project > Start and End.
Cheers... Rick

How do you stop auto play only go to next slide on click once published Version 7

How do you stop auto play only go to next slide on click once published Version 7? I mean to stop the play slide bar moving down the bottom?

Thank you, I already have click boxes and buttons on every slide - the slider at the bottom still automatically moves, it doesn't go to next slide until button or box is clicked. I want to stop it moving if possible?
Update: looks like it does the same on the old versions - I'm assuming its the time set to play each slide. I will just even these up so the don't look so inconsistent.

How do you prevent Acrobat PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics?

I am using the "Create PDF" button (provided by the Acrobat PDFMaker in Acrobat X) to create a PDF from a Microsoft Word 2010 document.
This works fine, except that vector graphics in the Word document appear in the resulting PDF as raster graphics. (That is, when I zoom in, document text outside the graphics appears smooth, but the graphics are blocky; and text inside the graphics that should be retained as text - it's not converted to curves - is just pixels.)
The original artwork for the vector graphics is in CorelDRAW X6 (sorry, Adobe!).
I have exported the following files from the original vector drawing in CorelDRAW:
- EPS (with TIFF preview)
- Windows metafile (.wmf)
- Enhanced metafile (.emf)
I can insert any of these files into Word okay (Insert > Picture), but the resulting PDF always contains a rasterized (bitmapped) version of the vector graphic ("line art").
From memory, this didn't use to happen in my previous working environment (Acrobat 8 Pro with Word 2003, using artwork exported from CorelDRAW 12).
How do you prevent Acrobat X PDFMaker from rasterizing vector graphics? Or is Word 2010 (or CorelDRAW X6) somehow to "blame" here?

This sounds like you are using Photoshop Elements, and the Photoshop Elements forum would be best at answering that.

My question is Itunes related. How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from alphabetizing the song list created. I wanted to keep the original order, and somehow everything was alphabetized without requesting it.

My question is Itunes related. How do you prevent a playlist saved in Itunes from automatically alphabetizing the song list. I had a specific order of songs that I wanted, and Itunes somehow automatically alphabetized them. Is there a way to turn that feature off, and/or get them back to the original order? I also noticed that once a playlist has been created, I cannot manually changed the order of the songs from my desktop.. Any suggestions?

That's just the sort order. It's displaying the media alphabetically because you have clicked on the NAME column near the top of the iTunes window.
Click on the little triangle above the column of numbers (usually on the far left side of the main iTunes window) and the media will sort in the order in which you added each item to the playlist.
You can easily reorder songs within a playlist: Click and HOLD on the song you wish to move, then drag-and-drop it wherever you like.

How do you change the slide background colour in the keynote app?

How do you change the slide background colour in the keynote app?

You can't (not in Keynote for iOS). The background color is a function of the template selected when you create the file initially and cannot be altered. the only workaround I know of is to add a graphic file to the slide and position it behind all other content, but this would need to be repeated on any slide you wish to "recolor".

You cannot create encrypted folders in, or encrypt folders with, Disk Utility.
You can create with Disk Utility encrypted disk images from folders. I assume that's what you mean.
The proper way to do it is by setting the immutable bit. Read here
<http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/immutableflags.html>
about the immutable bits (and the trouble they sometimes create).
The user immutable bit (uchg) is the same as the Finder lock, as described above by X423424X. It's a weak lock, with only a warning.
The system immutable bit (schg) is more powerful. Once is set, the item cannot be deleted in Finder (even though Finder will ask for your password and may give you the impression that it can trash it; it will end with an error).
I set it in Terminal, thus
$ sudo chflags schg my_encrypted_disk_image
and unset it also in Terminal
$ sudo chflags noschg my_encrypted_disk_image
(Note that, when you unset the system immutable bit, the change won't be reflected immediately in Finder, but the item can be trashed nevertheless.)

Thanks tjk.
Those are great suggestions and got me looking in places I had not considered before. Unfortunately, the problem remains. The System Preferences did not have the shut down option activated and there are no parental controls active on the computer.
Any other suggestions are welcome.

How can you save keynote slides as high resolution (300 dpi) images?

Apparently there is a way to save powerpoint slides as 300 dpi images, with some finagling, but not the mac version. Does anyone know how to do this in keynote? Or is there a relativley easy way to do it with free/cheap software? I can increase the dpi in photoshop, but it doesn't produce crisp images for obvious reasons.

how can you save keynote slides as high resolution (300 dpi)
to save individual images from each slide in Keynote;     file > export > images > TIFF (for optimum quality)
You are using the wrong terminology to describe creating an image file
- dpi ( meaning dots per inch ) is the measurement used in printing to create the number of print dots per inch that will be deposited on to physical media like paper or film   This is done in the printer settings box of the print driver and is dependant on how the individual printer can print..
ppi ( meaning pixels per inch ) is the measurement you need to use when creating the number of pixels in a digital image file. You establish image resolution in Keynote using the inspector;
Keynote > inspector > document > slide size
I can increase the dpi in photoshop, but it doesn't produce crisp images for obvious reasons.
You can resample images in editing applications such as Photoshop or Painter but what you are doing is adding non image information to the image to increase pixel count, this is called noise. As you state this is not the procedure to use in your situation.

How do you add new slides to a slideshow?

As the title says...
The slideshow templates in Muse only let you edit 3 slides, and I need at least 6. But I can't find how to add more even in the "blue arrow pop-up menu".

You can click the 'add images' button to select additional images for your slideshow.
