I want to edit the text within Captivate after importing slides from PowerPoint

Hi,
Background: I import slides from a .pptx file. Once the slides are created inside of Captivate, I want to edit the text on the slide, but I can't; it's all become part of the background. So, I am left with two options: 1) open the .pptx file, edit the text, and then re-import the slide 2) Manually create everything on the slide inside of Captivate. This is so labor-intensive. I was hoping Captivate 7 would address this, but what seemed could possible address it - High Fidelity - isn't available for mac. I'm sure others have this problem too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you'd better look at Adobe Presenter if you need only to convert a PPT to an eLearning course?
Captivate is much more powerful, but its principal goal is not to convert PPT's. Each PPT-slide is converted into a movie slide so that all animations will be transferred properly. Personally I never create presentations in PPT but always directly in CP. You could import only the backgrounds, and create the other objects in CP. Images can be imported into the library, audio as well.

  • How to give previleges to just edit the Text within the Portal ?

    Hi all,
    This is our first Portal project and we don't know how to do this.
    In our portal there are 6 or 7 tabs. The first tab (tab-1) is HOME, where there is corporate news to be posted.
    Usually we do all the content modification using ORCLADMIN user.
    Now we want to give access to one end user to edit the text for the corporate news on tab-1.
    But he must not change other part of the Portal.
    How can we do that ?
    Many thanks for your help.

    For order services, contracts and activities set object CRM_ORD_OP as I said.
    For Ibase use CRM_IBASE but with this one it is not possible to set authorizations only for own ibases. Maybe there is some other object for ibases.
    Also for business partner there is no such authorization object to shown only own partners. You have 2 options. To play with object B_BUPA_GRP but that means you will have to maintain group for each responsible employee. Or you implement logic in badi BADI_CRM_BP_UIU_AUTHORITY.

  • I have a psd file with many layers and text. I want to edit the text. How do I do that?

    Hi all!
    I recently purchased a book cover from a creative....she charged me one amount for the jpeg file and another amount for the psd file and then there's another cost to edit the text on the back cover. Instead of paying all these fees separately I'm trying to edit the text on my back cover myself.
    The problem is I HAVE NO CLUE how to do this....anybody have any help to offer?

    In the psd file, on the right side you should see a panel that says Layers. Expand that panel if it is not already by clicking on it.
    Scroll down through the list in the layers panel until you find the text (there should be a large T for a thumbnail to show it is text)
    Double click on that large T to edit the text. (The text should now be highlighted and the Text tool on the left side of the screen should be selected)
    Type away then select any other layer to deselect the text
    If you do not see any large T capture your screen with the layers panel open, so we can see what layers are there.

  • Cannot edit chapter names in iDVD after importing movie from iMovie

    I have no trouble customizing iDVD (version 5.0.1) menu page after importing iMovie directly (instead of going to QT as interim step). But the names of the chapter markers are file names for video clips, title pages and transitions. The iMovie help says to change the names in the space next to the 'thumbnails' of chapters found in iDVD. THERE ARE NO THUMBNAILS. And there is no way I could find, using menu options or clicking on the chapter frames shown in 'map' mode to type in anything.
    There are other problems, like getting rid of the default "Travel Cards' stuff...like I can drop a still photo in for a custom background, but the default 'celluloid design' banner still rolls up in previw mode. If you can also help with that, great. But the main thing right now is getting these chapter names change.

    VJK,
    You are the third person who has taken a crack at this. I don't know if you read my last reply which detailed the situation. But if you did and the 'menu' you refer to is the main menu page, that is not the problem; I can change text there. I am talking about the submenu for 'Scene Selections', which I have only been able to access via map mode.
    In map mode I cannot highlight the names. Period. Can't do it no matter where I place the cursor or carefully click.
    In preview mode, when the Scene Selection sub-menu page appears whenever you drag the cursor over a chapter name it automatically highlights so any clicking will either do nothing (if a real careful click, trying to highlight text and not trigger off play of the movie chapter) or just start play for the movie chapter.
    So...how does this newbie get to the 'menu' you mention where I can click on a chapter name in order to type new text?
    You will be able to change the names in the menu, but
    depending upon your mouse, etc, it can be a little
    particular.
    Place the cursor at the very beginning of the word
    you want to change. Click once .. this should hi-lite
    the word. Click again, it should make the word go
    blue (or in a blue box) then you can delete and
    re-type.
    Be sure to save the proj
    I have found that even after saving and successfully
    burning the project, if I return to it later the
    changes seem to have gone away ... so if you go back
    to it later, just double check that everything is
    kosher

    1. click on the text. in the properties panel it will say
    static text, dynamic text or input text.
    2. if it's static text, click on the text tool and click
    inside your text. then edit. if it's not static text, you can do
    the same thing, but the text will be changed by actionscript during
    run-time IF text was originally assigned by actionscript.

  • After placing a new text box in my document, typing new text, clicking away, then coming back to edit the text, I am unable to get my cursor to reappear within that text box. I can only select the box itself. I cannot select the text. Where is my cursor?

    Even simpler than that.
    Clicking once in a text box selects it.
    Clicking once in a selected text box places the insertion point in the box.
    The clicks do not need to be close enough in time to be read as a double click.
    The same behaviour applies to table cells in Pages and in Numbers.

  • I am using CS3 and want to save a file as a pdf where someone can then edit the text. How can I do this please? Thank you :)

    I am using CS3 and want to save a file as a pdf where someone can then edit the text. How can I do this please? Thank you

    You might be able to use the newest adobe reader program/application for that.
    You would have to save your pdf out of photoshop cs3 without any text and then add the text to the pdf in adobe reader.
    The text added in adobe reader can't be edited in photoshop, so the other people would have to adobe reader or acrobat to edit the text.

  • //remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand? um which line?

    Several of my pages are locking up and I don't know why. As I work through the code, I remembered that I altered some text in a SendEmail by directly altering the page rather than using the Server Behavior. Don't understand why that would matter but whatever...
    Now as I ponder if that is causing the problem, I ran across this commented line in the code:
    //remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand
    But are they talking about the line just after that line of //remove or do they mean the actual comment line of
    //remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand?
    Thanks for your help

    Trigger and $tNG look suspiciously like ADDT code to me. Ask the guys in the ADDT forum (http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver/addt). There are a couple of them in there who know the code intimately. I haven't touched ADDT for ages.

  • Trouble with viewing font on spine of Photo book.  I can't find a way to view and edit the text which appears on the spine of the dustcover or the book itself when printed.

    I can't find a way to view and edit the text which appears on the spine of the dustcover or the photo book itself.  When I preview the book it appears on the dustcover and the book, but not when I'm back in the creation or editing windows.  I've printed 4 books in a series and two spines are one font size, and two others are a different font size.  One of the books has a shortened title on the book spine.

    The text on the spine will be the same text that is in the Title text box on the title page.  You can change the font and style of that text just like you change any text in Aperture. Aperture will size and center the spine text for you
    If you want the content or the font and style  of the text to be different from your Title box text then you have to trick the program a bit.  Put the text that you want in the spine into the Title text box and then move that box to a place on the page where it will not be visible when printed ( Y coordinate -1.0 inches for example).  Don't move it too far away or it will be hard to get back to in order to make an edit.    Then make a new text box on the title page and put the text you want on the cover in that.  (Or make a book without text on the cover , but with text on the spine). 
    You are 100% correct in that you can not preview this unless you preview the printed book

  • I want to increase the text on the organizer screen

    I want to increse the text on the organizer screen

    Not an option. In Windows you can change display characteristics to increase text size but that would affect all applications not just PSE (you'll also probably need to select 'Use System Font' in Edit> Preference> General)

    I have a scanned doc that I copied onto a word doc.  the scanned document text was crooked.  I want to straighten the text.  How do I do that

    If it is an image you could simply click on the image in word and then use the green dot that appears above the image to simply drag and rotate the image around. Alternatively, import it into iPhoto and use the rotation capabilities in that, click edit and then quick fixes and rotate. (Then export back into word).

  • Pages: How do I edit the text?

    After I typed the text, I moved the text box to the specific area. Then I wanted to change the text info. I could not! I could not highlight or edit the text? You know what I should do?

    We really don't know what you are talking about, we can't see your screen and you have not really described what you doing.
    Just guessing, you are talking about Pages 5, on a Mac, in OSX 10.9?
    Apple has removed so many features (over 90+) and the rest are either buggy or awkward.
    Why not just use Pages '09 which is still in your Applications/iWork folder if that is what you know?
