How to export/Import default prefs and object styles with no project open?

I would like to export my preferences and object styles with no projects open and them import them on my team's machines so that no matter what project we create, we all start from the SAME set of defaults.  When I open captivate and check both with no projects open, there is no ability to import/export.  I know I could open a project and export, but then importing is an issue.
I'm using CP8 on a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine.
Help?
Thx.
Lori

After a fresh install I start by editing the Preferences globally, that means by using Edit, Preferences before opening any project (like switching to Expert UI, default language, replacing feedback captions by shapes). There is indeed no way to import preferences from a specific file. I will do the same for some object styles (like creating a blank Highlight box for audio objects). You can only export/import from and to a project,  same like for all Library assets.
However the Object styles: they are part of the default theme, along with their theme colors, master slides and skin. You cannot edit everything without having a project open. I would recommend to create a custom theme in a project, in which you have all the wanted object styles. Changing the theme colors (you can have a custom theme color palette) will change partially colors of the objects. Once you set that theme as default theme, you'll have all the object styles in the projects that use the default theme.
To transfer Preferences, custom themes to another machine, maybe this article could help you out. It was written for a different purpose, but you'll find the location of a lot of files that you could transfer in this post:

  • How to export/import new SCV and products?

    Hi,
    I have created a new product, product version, software component and software component version in the SLD.
    Now I need to import that to another XI system with a different SLD. The product, product version etc. is unknown in the target XI system.
    How/What do I have to export all these new things?
    If I try to export/import the SCV, I get the following message during import:
    "<b>The target namespace for the special import already contains data for one or more export lines. Continuing this import may corrupt the state of your data.</b>
    Import CIM models and data to the current namespace: sld/active  (Database). 
    Ensure that this import will not cause an inconsistent state of your data.
    If you are uncertain about the consequences of this import, you should cancel it. "
    Do I need more export/import steps? That means: First the product, than the product version, than the SV and finally the SVC?
    Thanks and regards,
    Christian

  • How to export & import interface type data object to memory

    Hi experts,
    My greetings to all.
    we have came across a situation where we need to pass interface type data object to memory
    and import same from memory.
    DATA context TYPE REF TO if_timecontext.
    its not possible with regular export statement.
    is their any other way to do it?
    Thanks in advanced,
    Sudhir

    Thank you saurabhmani & sandra.
    @ saurabhmani : i tried assigning object context to memory (field-symbol) and exporting it to memory, but got runtime error.
    @sandra : XML serialization & shared object concept sounds intresting but as you already checked that interface IF_TIMECONTEXT is missing the required IF_SERIALIZABLE_OBJECT interface.
    Istead of exporting context data object to memory we tried different approch and it worked out for our requirement

  • How to export &import the OSS note?

    Hi Team?
    How to export &import the OSS note?

    Dear Jagadish,
    Download SAP Notes from the SAP Service Marketplace and upload them in Note Assistant.
    Start Note Assistant (transaction SNOTE).
    Download the SAP Note from SAPNet - R/3 Frontend. To do this, choose "SAP Note Download" (Ctrl + F8) and enter the relevant SAP Note number. The downloaded SAP Note appears in your worklist under the category New.
    Read the SAP Note!
    Check whether the SAP Note entails manual activities. (See also answers to questions concerning ABAP Dictionary objects and messages.)
    If this is the case, first perform the manual activities.
    Implement the SAP Note. To do this, choose Implement SAP Note. During implementation, Note Assistant may download prerequisite SAP Notes that must be implemented before.
    Also read and check the prerequisite notes! This is necessary, since they may also contain manual activities. If you don´t do this, the syntax check can bring up an error of the relevant field of the function module, for example.
    Reward points if it helps.
    Regards,
    Naveen.

  • How to export&import data using sql *loader

    Hi all,
    How to export&import data from sql*loader. Give me the clear steps..
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi did you already exported data from SQL SERVER? if not using SQL*LOADER you cannot export data. SQL*LOADER is only mean for importing data from flat files(usually text files) into ORACLE tables.
    for importing data into oracle tables using sql*loader use below steps
    1) create a sql*loader control file.
    it looks like as follows
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE 'sample.dat'
    BADFILE 'sample.bad'
    DISCARDFILE 'sample.dsc'
    APPEND
    INTO TABLE emp
    TRAILING NULLCOLS
    or for sample script of control file search google.
    2) at command prompt issue following
    $ sqlldr test/test
    enter control file=<give control file name which you create earlier>
    debug any errors (if occured)

  • How do you import CSV, tab, and OFX files into multiple Numbers columns

    This Apple function from Numbers '08 Help "Importing a Document" does not seem to work:
    "You can create a new Numbers spreadsheet by importing a document created in Microsoft Excel or AppleWorks 6. Numbers can also import files in comma-separated value (CSV) format, tab-delimited format, and Open Financial Exchange (OFX) format."
    No amount of experimenting with Import, Export, Save As, Paste and Match Style, or using other applications will enable importing CSV, tab, or OFX files into multiple Numbers columns. Instead, all data is imported into a single Numbers column, which then has to be manually and tediously parsed one data element at a time into columns, one row, and one column at a time.

    Jerrold Green1 wrote:
    Joe,
    They all have worked here. I'm not presently able to try in Numbers 08, but I know I've done them all.
    Just double-clicking a .csv file will open Numbers and display the data in a table. Dragging a .csv file to your Numbers icon on the Dock will open it as a Numbers table. Dragging it to a Sheet in an open Numbers document will make a new table in an existing document, and dragging to a table will insert the csv file into the table you dropped it into.
    CAUTION
    With Numbers '08, CSV files must use the comma as delimiter on every setting of decimal separator.
    Numbers '09 behave differently.
    With your tab-delimited file open in a word processor, copy it, then paste it into a table in an open Numbers document. When doing this, select a cell in the table, but don't double-click into the text field of the cell, then paste.
    Why use this long road when we may import directly Tab Separated Values file (tsv.txt) with Numbers '08 (or '09) ?

  • How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?

    How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?
    Am looking at exporting the Form view on APEX to be exported to PDF.

    In order to get a PDF, you need to generate a Report....in PDF format.
    If you are using the APEX Listener, you can initiate the download of the PDF by calling APEX_UTILS.download_print_document()  (I normally place this in a Process)
    BUT -- You have to create the Report (under Shared Components) and a Template (also under Shared Components).
    The white paper in my first post gives you the HOWTO "[Create] Custom PDF Reports with Oracle Application Express and the APEX Listener".
    Start by creating a Report (in Shared Components, bottom right) that uses a simple SQL statement like:
    Select * from emp where empno = :P15_EMPNO
    You may need to hard code the parameter before you hit "Download XML" button.
    The XML that you get from clicking "Download XML" satisfies the "Step 1 - Create an XML Data Source" found on Page 11 of the document.
    The rest of the instructions is in that whitepaper.

  • TS3276 How do I send an email and get a receipt that they opened it? I have seen this before, but don't know what setting to go to.

    How do I send an email and get a recipt that they opened it?

    Additionally, even if Mail supported it, the recipient would have to allow/consent to sending you the receipt - if I were the recipient, I would certainly not allow it. If you are sending legal or other very important files, use the "return receipt required" feature of US Mail - you will get a receipt that it was accepted with a signature.
