Inserting a 2 page word document - captivate 4

Hello All,
I have created an eLearning module for a client, and they are requesting i attach or insert their Terms and Conditions of Use document to the module, which will have to be printed and signed by their users.  It's a 2 page word document with a ton of information on it.  Anyone have any input or ideas for me?
Linking isn't really going to be an option for me...This is something i'm going to have to embed in the module.
It looks like someone asked for help with something like this years ago and didn't get anywhere.  Hope you guys can hook me up.
Thanks!

There isn't really any good way to insert a two page word document into a Captivate project to be honest. The best way would be to convert it to a PDF and have it open in a new window when the user clicks a button in Captivate.
Alternatively you could use a widget that allows you to insert a large text and use scroll bars to navigate the content. Chris Dorna create a widget like that - http://www.dorna.nl/?p=338 - but putting a two page document into this would be a disaster seen from an instructional design perspective. Also I have no clue on how to get it printed and signed.
In my view the best solution would be to break up the two pages into more accessible chunks of information over several slides. On the last slide of this text you can have the user "digitally" sign that they read and understood it and then have a widget send an email to the HR department or relevant person that would recieve the regular printed copies. Of course it would require a custom widget and also access to either PHP or ASP on the server where the content is being delivered from.

  • Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert 206 Page Word Document into PDF

    Hi there
    As menetioned above, Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert my 206 Page Word Document into a PDF.  The Word document was originally a PDF file that I converted to Word and it has split all the text into sections.
    It sounds like converting a PDF into Word isn't the best way to edit, re-format and then save as a PDF again.  I would love to hear your advice on this.
    Thanks very much for your help!
    Fiona

    First before you recreate the PDF from the Word Document.
    In word: Open Document
    Next open a new Blank docment
    switch back to Word click on the ¶ button
    scroll to of go to very end of docment.
    click just to right of the perion in the last sentence.
    now go to very beginning of document
    Hold down the Shift and click to the right of first letter in document.
    Now choose copy.
    Now switch to Blank document
    Choose Paste special.
    Now choose Text only.
    If works all the words will be there spaced correct but with no ¶'s.
    Now insert returns as desired.
    Now save as a docx file under a different name.
    IF you are on a Mac use the following directions:
    go to File menu > Print > PDF Hold down PDF button until Context menu pops up.
    Choose adobe PDF.
    follow steps when the first window opens.
    Save as PDF in desired location.
    Now open the PDF in Acrobat. Document should be properly formatted and ready to go.
    AS you've found The conversion is not seamless. Acrobat doesn't distingish between automatic end of line breaks and Returns and you have to put the pieces back again.  I wish Adobe and MS would get over the jealouscy of each other and share howcode works so Thatapplications could work seamlessly together.  BUt they never will.

  • I have Office 2011 which includes Word.  Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page word document, some recipients get only one page.  Also sometimes when I burn an image from iPhoto on to a disc, only part of the image appears.  Why?

    I have Office 2011 which includes Word.  Ever since downloading Mavericks, when I try to send a two-page Word document by email, some recipients get only one page.  Also when burning an image from iPhoto (usually no larger than 1mb) on to a disc, only part of it appears.  It appears to have been magnified so that only a part of the image appears.  Can anyone enlighten me as to what is happening?  And how to fix it??

  • Saving 2-page word document results in 2 PDFs

    I tried to save a 2 page word document as a PDF (print -> pdf -> save as pdf) but what I get are 2 separate PDFs instead.
    So, a CV.doc file becomes CV.pdf & CV.2.pdf
    Any ideas on what's going on? This seemed to be working all right till quite recently.

    Are there mixed orientations in the original pdf? If so, these threads offer information on Apple's inability to handle mixed orientations.

  • Sent multiple page Word document containing photos

    I had a 22-page Word document containing a table with small photos of dvds on my old Dell Inspiron laptop.  I forwarded this Word document to my Apple iMac Desktop as an attachment.  When I opened document it only shows page 1 and not the remaining pages.  I thought that it was because it was all one continuous document, but there were page breaks on original document.  What is the easiest way to send a Microsoft Word document from a Dell computer to my Apple iMac? 

    Most likely the table is the problem. Try making sure it is inline (in the text not floating), then it will flow from page to page in Pages.
    First try selecting the table:
    Inspector > Wrap > Object Placement > Floating
    Which might fix it.

  • Printing a selection from a web page, word document etc.

    It embarrasses me to say, I cannot find a way to print a selection--a paragraph for example--from a web page or a Word document. In Windows it's done with a few mouse clicks: file/print/selection. I'm sure there must be a simple way to do it in Leopard, but what is it?

    While there is no "print selection" command, you can use one of the globally available services to open a new window in textedit containing your selection, then print it.
    Select something and then go to Safari>Services>TextEdit>New Window Containing Selection
    and a new textedit window will open with your selection pasted in. Now you can print it.
    I suppose if you do this a lot, you could write a short applescript that'll do this, print it, and quit textedit, and then stick the script in the script menu. Just a thought.

  • Pages 'Word' documents can no longer be opened in LibreOffice

    I used to be able to open documents created and  saved as 'Word' documents in Pages with LibreOffice Writer.
    This is no longer possible.
    I can still open documents created with Microsoft office and saved with the .doc extension in LibreOffice Writer.
    Is Pages now saving the documents in a non stanard 'Word' format?
    I have the latest version on the Word App on my iPad and I am using LibreOffice Writer Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:2))

    No, there was no time-limiting on that feature, it should still be there. It sounds like you're having a problem with Word files no longer being associated with Pages as the default. I'm guessing that dragging a Word file onto the Pages icon on your Dock would open it... is that correct? If so, select a Word file and choose File -> Get Info. In the Open With section, change the selection to Pages and click the Change All button. (Note that this is assuming that the Word files have the appropriate .doc or .docx extension.)

  • Link to Word Document (Captivate 2)

    Hi
    I want to be able at the end of a project for the users to
    click a button and have a word document appear which they can
    complete and then print.
    I need it to be in a new window as I need them to be able to
    go back to the project whenever they want. I have placed the
    document in the same folder as where the project has been published
    I have tried the URL/Link on a click button but unless i put
    an absolute path it doesn't work. I don't want to put in an
    absolute path as this would mean having to change it for everywhere
    different I publish it.
    I have tried doing a relative path but that hasn't worked
    either. I am publishing via HTML for the projects i need this for
    but i will also have to publish it to a CD eventually.
    I don't know much about javascript but I thought that might
    be the way to go, but i just don't understand what i actually have
    to do and where the JS needs to be placed.
    At the moment the project is located on my H:\Inductions and
    the document is called
    HRI-001-06 Adelaide Office Induction Questionnaire
    I have tried doing a quiz in captivate but as i only have
    Captivate 2, that wasn't too successful because if they got it
    wrong they had to do the whole thing again and they couldn't go
    back to the project
    My relative path was just the document name as above - was
    that correct? and then i clicked "new"
    Any help anyone can give me would be great.
    I have searched the forums but have not had any luck finding
    answers.

    Hi Michelle
    The generic "F" message typically indicates that the file you
    are linking to cannot be found. Perhaps it was listed using an
    absolute address instead of a relative address.
    An absolute address specifies the file you are linking to is
    expected to be found in a specific location. Perhaps
    C:\SomeFolder\SomeFile.DOC. A relative address simply expects the
    file to be in a relative folder. Often, this may mean the same
    folder. So you specify SomeFile.DOC and simply ensure the file you
    are linking to is in the same folder as the Captivate linking to
    it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can't open a published Word document - Captivate 5

    When I publish a Word document from within Captivate 5.  The dialogue box opens upon completion as asks if you want to preview the output.  When I click yes, I get the following error.  It does open if I manually open from within Word.

    Hi there
    The same has happened to me constantly since upgrading to Captivate 5. I'm not sure I've ever seen a workaround posted.

  • Insert image file to word document using active X

    Hello,
    I would like to insert an image into my word document (at the end). The image is saved as a bmp file and I'm using LV 8.2.1.
    I would like to do this using Active X (without using report generation toolkit).
    Any idea please ? Thanks in advance.

    Hi J.
    The method to use is Inline shapes (Add pictures). I have linked an example. You will have to configure it in order for it to be at the end of your document but that shouldn't be a problem for you.

  • Insert IPA symbols into Word document

    Hi,
    Does anyone know what is required to insert IPA symbols into a Word (v. X) document. The type of symbols I'm looking for can be found here, but I can't get them into my Word documents. I'm afraid I'm missing some special font or symbol library, but I have no idea which ones. Does anyone know what I might need to get symbols into my documents? Thanks very much.
    -NifflerX

    The openoffice spreadsheets work and when I save them
    as .xls files and open them in NeoOffice they still
    work, but if I open them in Word v. X I get no
    symbols. However, if I open the NeoOffice created
    files in 2004 I have no problems whatsoever. So I
    think for my local stuff I'll use NeoOffice, but I'll
    have to get Word 2004 to interact with my co-workers.
    There is nothing you can do to make this work with WordX, which is not compatible with Unicode IPA. Getting Word2004 will not help. If your co-workers only have WordX, then you have to also use WordX yourself and download the special non-Unicode fonts from SIL. WordX and Word2004 use two different standards for what codes generate what symbols. And the standard used by WordX is obsolete, or almost so.

  • Inserting my photos into Word document

    I am putting together a document of my family history and want to insert some photos I've taken into it. But the photos are each about 2.2MB - 2.9 MB and when I copied & pasted the photos into the Word doc the Word doc ended up at 124MB! W/out these photos the Word doc is 11MB!
    These are photos I've taken and are in my iPhoto. I've inserted other photos for which I don't have the original so I've scanned these and then inserted into the doc - they are much smaller and range from 24KB to 264KB depending on the size of the original. How do I get around this problem?
    Many thanks

    Terence
    Again thanks for yr advice. Having played around with the various options you gave in yr response to my other posting, I think the best method for me inserting my photos in the Word doc is to export to desktop as that way I can alter the size of the file.
    By scaling the photo to a smaller size, the file size is much smaller. I found if I just dragged the photo to the desktop and then into my Word doc, then the photo was still about 2.2MB. By scaling it down as it was exported, and then dragging into Word doc it was only 224KB.
    Does this approach sound right to you?

  • ITunes: I can no longer copy a playlist into a Pages (Word) document by using select all edit copy edit  paste.  Why won't this work now?  All I get when I paste is a series of Speaker symbols.

  • Saving copies of email as PDF or Pages/Word documents

    I have to save certain emails that I receive and keep them as a permanent record, as a PDF, Word etc...file. It needs to be something that others can view with a PC. I have been using Google to download my emails as a PDF, then save them to my PC but this can only be done one message at a time and is very tedious. Im wondering if there is a way to do this straight from mail on my imac to make life easier? Does anyone know of any other ways I can accomplish this?

    You may be able to somewhat automatically use an email app
    such as Thunderbird to get a duplicate of your GMail to your
    computer; or use an iMap or POP setup (as discussed else-
    where, online, when addressing actual archiving of Gmail to
    a computer or at least a non-google server archive.)
    {Since I don't use an email app nor do I use the ISP's provided
    email account system, but have used a few free web mail sites
    before Gmail from Google; I now solely use Gmail, and could
    use an easier method, too, of archiving direct to the computer.
    But I do not want to set up an email client software to do this.}
    The ease, if it existed, of being able to have Gmail create a
    downloadable .zip archive of email in dated batches, could
    save a bit of time. Of course, having to open and read through
    them to find a single important email's content takes away time.
    There are a few ideas online about how to archive and access
    Gmail, to a computer's hard disk drive or similar archive; but
    one that looked somewhat promising has not made the transition
    to Mac OS X in a handy GUI form: "Gmail Backup."
    You could use the Gmail "archive" system in your Gmail account
    and that would keep those mail items apart from your recent stuff.
    Or, send those emails to a second gmail account. That would only
    give you the dates they were forwarded and not a "by date" filing
    system; so making copies that way makes a new kind of job of it.
    • "How do I backup my GMail?"
    http://ask-leo.com/howdo_i_backup_mygmail.html
    Perhaps someone has a better idea in some shareware tool or
    an easier path to set up a POP or other account and use a second
    app such as Thunderbird to handle or make actual offline archives.
    Good luck & happy computing!
