Hypertext Links in PPT with Presenter Quiz breaks Quiz

I have training developed in PowerPoint 2003, using Presenter 7.0.5. I have added hypertext links, which link to hidden slides in the same file. There are also knowledge check questions within each file. When a student clicks on the hypertext link there is an error that tells them they are not finished with the quiz, and if they select continue, it will break the quiz.

7.0.1 is a pretty buggy version of Presenter. Have you tried going to 7.0.2, 7.0.5 or 7.0.6 through the Adobe Updater? If it is identified at what point in the updating process there was a change that affected the reporting functionality to your LMS, that may help identify the problem. Personally, I reccomend that you don't even touch Presenter unless is it on 7.0.5 or newer, as there it too great a risk of it not doing what you expect or just crashing and losing all your work.
Also, are you accessing the training in IE9? I recall that there was some compatibilty issues with IE 9 and Presenter, but I thought that was resolved in 7.0.7.

Hypertext links with graphics

Hi,
I am using FM9 and RH8 (TCS 2.5).
I would like to use graphics for navigation between help topics and have inserted the graphic, text frame and hypertext link into the FM document as described in the documentation. The graphic shows in the help file (tried HTML Help and Webhelp) but the link does not work. Hypertext links with text only are ok.
I already tried various combinations of the size of the anchored frame and the text frame but can't get it to work.
Does anyone have some advice? Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Monica

Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).<br />

Hyperlinks can be of several types. What are you linking to? Exactly what
application did you test the hyperlinks with on the Mac? What application
did you use to create the hyperlinks?

Publishing narrated PPT files with Presenter

I work for a large department that is producing more and more narrated PPT presentations to post on our company intranet. I'm the only one who has Presenter, and in trying to keep the instructions simple, the process we've been using requires a USB microphone and the narrating feature in PPT. Basically, I extract the audio files from the PPT document, and package the whole thing together in Presenter. This worked well the first couple of times, but for whatever reason, it's turning into a lot of work for me. I'm going to have to come up with a better process, one that is easy and cheap (ie, free) for the users, but also pain-free for me.
What happens is that I save the PPT file as a web page, which extracts the audio files into separate .wav files, 1 for each slide. In a perfect world, the .wav files end up being named sound1, sound 2, sound 3 (for PPT slide 1, 2, and 3 respectively)... I think the only time that works cleanly is when the narrator does it right the first time, with no mistakes. But lately, every single file I've received ends up with sound files that are not sequentially numbered. Like I could end up with sound17, sound26, and sound128, and 128 might go with slide 5, and sound 17 might go with slide 30... It's bizarre! And since no one includes Notes in their PPT presentation (which will be a requirement in the new process), I end up having to listen to each recording in the original file and write down the first few words, so that I know which sound file goes with which slide!!
So... I'm working on developing a new Best Practice for this process, and the preferred method will be providing me with a PPT presentation (complete with Notes) and separate audio files that I can import using Presenter. I'm having a hard time selling my team on this, because the PPT narration system we had set up was so easy to use and easy to show our users, no one had to use unfamiliar software, no purchases were necessary. Now I'm saying that, while it's still free and nothing needs to be purchased, recording narration will have to be done using Windows Sound Recorder, or better yet, Audacity. Which means a whole new set of instructions, that for some of these folks around here may be difficult to grasp. But the sound quality would be better, and the time and effort required by me would be greatly reduced.
I've search all over the intranet with no luck, I was hoping to find an already established process for doing this that I could "borrow" from... does anyone have any advice, words of wisdom, expert opinion, etc??

You may get better Presenter responses in, surprisngly, the Connect forum...as Presenter seems to be more a subset of that tool than a standalone one.
While we actually have Presenter here, I've only used it once!
We also have Captivate and that's a more-frequent 'go to' tool for us than Presenter.
So the overall issue is, you can't convert PPTs that include audio with Presenter? The audio doesn't work or otherwise come through?
Are you SURE there's no way to do that? That you HAVE to separate out the audio first?
I'm almost certain that if you convert a PPT that contains audio with Captivate that the resulting Captivate file will not only retain the audio but keep in sync'd up with the related slides. It's certainly worth grabbing the trial version of Captivate to confirm that.
If CP doesn't do it for some reason, then surely Articulate Presenter would?
There are so many PPT conversion tools out there, one of them has to be an option to avoid the issue you're having.
So first, be sure Presenter is really limited the way it seems to be. If it is, try Captivate. Far better to get a more capable tool, I think, then try to disrupt an established process (as long as that process is worthwhile and effective, of course).

IWeb hypertext links to pages from my site not "viewable" in some browsers

I am new to iWeb 08. iWeb created hypertext links to eleven pages from my "top level" site are not "clickable" or viewable in some browsers yet the hyperlinks I added on top page to other sites don't present a problem.
No problem with Safari or AOL Desktop Version 1.2 or Firefox browsers. However, AOL Ver 10.3.7 (rev 4136.310) only shows other site links and NOT the page links at the top of site page. Only a dot is visible where links to other pages in the site. I thought it could have been a Java Scripts problem so I updated my AOL to latest JAVA. Not concerned for my part but others with Mac AOL may have same problem.
Is there something I could do diferent at my site or is this another AOL shortcoming?
See: http://web.mac.com/louiedea/OceanaMed_Cruise_2008/MedCruise08.html
Thanks, LouieDeA

Gayle,
No solution yet. I am sure it is a shortcoming of AOL's Mac browser but am trying to contact AOL support (difficult now that they are free). I don't use their browser but there are probably those that do. I presume you don't have that problem when you use Safari, etc?

Iindesign to PPT with editable text

Is it possible to convert indesign documents to PPT with editable text? Thanks

I just recreate the files in Powerpoint, far more effective in my opinion.
I have Cs5.5 and Powerpoint 2003.
Package the CS5.5 file up to gather all the images to one location.
Extract/copy all the text to a word file or directly to the powerpoint stage.
You can then drage the images from the Links Folder directly into Powerpoint.
Powerpoint has a Crop Tool and you can resize images. The PPT presentation becomes a massive file, but you can go through each Format Picture options to resample and trim the cropped images.
I've been able to Place most image formats from .ai to eps, tif to psd to jpg, gif to PNG.
Powerpoint is very versatile in this regard.

Captivate 4 - unable to bookmark content slides with a Quiz and maintain Incomplete status

When creating a presentation that has content slides before a quiz the Captivate content is recorded as Failed when exited early in the LMS.
I am trying to allow the user to view content pages that bookmark when they ahve to exit the course. This should set a status of Incomplete which will allow the user to return to the last page (slide) viewed and continue. Once all slides are viewed they are then presented with a Quiz that requires an 80% to pass.
I have tried the reporting setting "quiz results and slide views" in Captivate but if I exit on any content slide it is recorded as Failed with a 0 score. The LMS I am using is OutStart Evolution.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

surf_easy922,
As discussed privately - you needed to click the "continue" button at the Quiz Results screen, in order to successfully complete the content in the LMS. There are a number of options that you can employ to resolve this:
- Change settings in the Quiz Manager to "Quiz Results, only"
- Remove the Quiz Results screen and insert your own certificate
- In this case (because of where the content originated) you should use Adobe Presenter
For building your own certificate - I have written an article on building your own Flash-based certificates for Adobe Presenter and Adobe Captivate. The article can be found here: http://www.connectusers.com/tutorials/2009/02/certificates/
I am in the process of revamping that article, because it is *very* technical and doesn't need to be. I think a lot of people are confused (justly so) by the article and really how easy it is to use the template/sample certificates I've provided in the article for their own purposes. While I am working on that update, here is a walkthough of how you can use any of the sample FLA's in the article, above for your own custom certificate: http://www.learningconsulting.com/content/adobe/connect/CertificatesInCpPr/CertificatesInC pPr_customizing.htm
Finally, I think for your purposes and based on how you are building your content, you should look at the Adobe Presenter tool. It is a PowerPoint plug-in that provides the same functionality that you have in your Captivate file (but you work within PowerPoint, so you do not need to import the PPT file - you work directly with it). Captivate is an awesome tool and should be used for your simulations and more complex interactivity, but in this case Presenter is the more appropriate tool for your needs.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Andrew

Keynote 6, PPT, and Presenter

I have an issue that I think might affect maybe 2 or 3 others in addition to me!
I use Keynote to create my slide decks for Presenter, the export the Keynote deck to PPT, for loading into Presenter. YES, I am a MAC user... And I really wish that someday somehow Presenter would have the capability to run as an application on a MAC and import Keynote... More on that in a minute.
So I have through Presenter 7,8, and 9 successfully used that workflow: Keynote, Export to PPTx, then move to a WIN machine and load into PowerPoint.
That worked fine last with
     Keynote 09
     export to PPTx
     load into PowerPoint 2013 with Presenter 9
BUT with Keynote 6, I have problems. The problem being that animations would not work in Presenter the way they always have. When I get to the last annimation on a given slide, Presenter would leave up the NEXT ANNIMATION arrow, and expect me to move from IF there is a transiton. So Presenter was not recognizing the difference between an onslide annimation and a transition.
This was annoying enough to me that I fiddled around with it and found... Using
     Keynote 6
     export to PPT (NOT PPTx)
     load into PowerPoint 2013 with Presenter 9
That the problem is solved. Somehow exporting to old PPT format makes Presenter understand the situation.
That was the specific.
The general issue is... WHY DOESN"T ADOBE VALUE MAC CUSTOMERS! The continuous ignoring of MAC customers by Adobe in relation to PPT is not only annoying but has risen after 5-6 years now to be totally maddening. Its like Adobe does not WANT MAC users to use Presenter. Every time I have to use WIN PPT I grit my teeth. And do it, because conceptually Presenter is tremendously good. Just not for MAC people.
So here is the yet bigger picture. Why doesn't Adoble move the functionality of Presenter into Captivate - since Cpativate is both MAC and PC available. Captivate enables loading in PPT but does not allow (last time I looked) anything other than using slides as background. Moreover to edit the slkdes, you have to stay linked to PPT.
Adobe could seel one package that had both products if they want to keep the two lines separate for income stream and have the unlock for PRESENTER be separate from the unlock for CAPTIVATE.
AND on the Mac side, if you would enable Keynote use, it would be truly great!!
So, this has been a public service announcement for anyone having the same specific trouble I had, AND its been an editorial to request Adobe to play a llitte nicer with MAC users....
Thanks,
---jon----

I do not think that cut and paste should be an option for any acceptable operating system and certainly not for a Apple Computer! I was very happy when a couple of operating systems ago it was possible to Drag and Drop via shifting through the Dock and waiting that the application by which you would pause in the Dock, would open so that it would make possible to drag and drop from different windows. This WOULD be especially useful considering a lot of nice applications are now full screen, but ..... that does not work either!! So I would expect cut and paste would work, but .... it does NOT! I have to bring both the applications from full screen app to windows format, bring them on one desktop and than drag and drop, and then I can make them full screen again until the next "drag and drop". Is this Apple?!?!?!?!?!? And this is just one of the things which do NOT work. It does not belong to this thread, but Hands off and Hot spots also do NOT work with a NEW MAC BOOK PRO Retina,, NEW IPHONE 6, AND NEW IPAD AIR2. I am _VERY_ disappointed in Apple lately....

Is there a way to open a hypertext link in my folio?

No - you would have to rebuild the site in iWeb '06.
Even if you did this you couldn't update the site built with iWeb '08.
You need to install iLife '08 on the other computer - why can't you?

I am trying to integrate BI publisher with OBI answers/dashboards. This is working fine through OC4J but when I try to integrate through Websphere, I get a crypto error.
I have to deployed a plug-in in web server and tried to integrate BI publisher with presentation services through "cryptotools" and configuring it through instance config. When I hit http://myserver:port/xmlpserver I get "Error 500: com.phaos.crypto.CipherException ". Similarly when I select more products/BI Publisher through OBI Dashboards/Answers, I get the following
Reporting Login: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.phaos.crypto.CipherException; nested exception is: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.phaos.crypto.CipherException
I feel this is a common issue across both the end points. Has anyone come across this type of issue or similar issue ?
Help is greatly appreciated.

How to: Save as PDF AND preserve Word bookmarks/hypertext links

Is there a way to save a word doc as PDF in OS 10.4 that enables the hypertext links in the PDF file? When I save, i just get blue underlined text in the PDF but it cannot be clicked on to follow the links embedded in the original Word doc.
thanks for any solutions/workarounds.

I wonder if this is actually a limitation of Preview... I've made PDF files with Illustrator that, when I open them in Acrobat have active links. The links don't work when I open the same file with Preview.

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?

Hypertext links are not always preserved from Word to PDF, using Aperçu or Adobe, depending on OS 10 or Lion. Why? This generally works perfectly in Windows. Why are Apple and Adobe unable to correctly handle links when converting from Word to PDF?
Depending on the system version, and Office Word version:
- a pure URL link starting with http or even www sometimes works in PDF, either produced by Aperçu or Adobe, sometimes does not work;
- other kind of links where the text under display is not a URL, never work!
I like everything with Apple computers and software, except PDF generation. Output files are usually bigger in size, and no better quality, than under Windows. Furthermore, it is weird that something as common as hyperlinks does not work correctly!
I related this question with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, but the problem is still there with Mac OS Lion.
This problem seems to have been around for years, without any proper solution from Apple and/or Adobe! To me, this is very embarrassing!

Greetings NoNameGiven,
If I understand the problem correctly (I’m not sure I do) you would prefer ‘iii’ to be read as “eye eye eye” rather than “three”? The alt text property is the only way that I know of to make this happen. Hope this helps.

PPT with embedded MP4 videos not being improted as a playable video - how can I make the MP$ play as a video?

I have a PPT slide presentation that has embedded MP4 videos (captured using SnagIt) in the presentation. When I import and convert, all my PPT slides convert with animations intact, but the videos are not playable and appear only as a 'static' slide.... I'm messing around with the trial version of Captivate hoping it can do what I think it can (like what I just described here) and am trying to cost-justify the purchase of this package to my management team -but I have to make sure it can do what we want it to do first - so far, no good - but I think I'm probably just missing something...any tips or suggestions?

Hi there
One way to accomplish your goal would be to use what I call: The Camtasia Approach
Basically you play the presentation and use Captivate to record it. Camtasia operates that way with PPT.
Cheers... Rick
