Is it possible to add a word doc (as a separate file) in Captivate?

This could help to satisfy 508 compliance. This is in addition to the closed captioning feature, which I plan to incorporate.
FYI - I used Articulate Presenter in the past and was able to attach a Word Document, which user was able to access via link.
It would be nice to have a word doc incorporated into the stand-alone Captivate outpout.
Thanks!

Hi Share,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You can add a word doc in Captivate as a separate file.
On a button or click box you can select the Action to "Open URL or File" and then type the name of the word doc in URL box. After publishing the output paste the word doc in the output folder and this will open the word doc as a separate file from the button.
Thanks

Is it possible to create a word doc or excel in iPad Air

Is it possible to create a word doc or excel in iPad Air? Also is it possible to open or transfer documents from my computer to my iPad?

Yes. you will need the appropriate apps to do that. some options:
Apple's Pages and Number. These will create documents in their respective native formats, but can be exported in Word or Excel (among others) as needed. They will also import from those formats (with limitations)
MS has published Word and Excel fort the iPad, but in order to create of edit files, you need an Office 365 subscription ($99 USD per year, I believe)
There are a number of other apps available in the apps store that will also accomplish this for you.
Just be aware that regardless of the apps chosen, there will be limitations compared to Word and Exel for PC (I don't know of any app for iOs that can handle pivot tables, for example)

Yes, several options, including syncing via itunes. However, you may fiond using a cloud service is more convenient. What you chose will depend on teh editing apps you use.I use DropBox and Box externsively, as well as iCloud (if you opt for Apple's apps). Skydrive would be your best option if you use MS apps.

Is it possible to add a word at the end of a line?

Hi, i'm searching a way to automatically add a word at the end of a certain paragraph styles?
is it something possible doing by using a script?
i don't script myself but if someone could find me a way to do this it would be really appreciated.
Here's an example to what i need to do:
i have paragraph style X in a current book document, and i need to edit the book and add the copyright source at the end of every line that has the style X to it
so i would need something that asks me
the targeted paragraph style
which word i want to append to it, and then apply it torough the document.
Thanks in advance

Yes, the screen shot shows where you got it wrong:
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Find: (.)$
and set your paragraph style in the find format area
Change: $1XYZ
where XYZ is the text you want to insert.
.. you forgot the '1' right after the '$'. It's an important omission: "$1" is a GREP code, meaning "insert the found text, parenthesized group #1" -- and there is also a "$2", "$3", etc. up to "$9". It's great if you have to switch two, or even more, items around! But without the digit, the dollar sign indicates ... just a dollar sign.
Change the Change to text to
$1~S(CEMEQ)
and you'll be fine.

Is it possible to add documents (word files, pdfs, jpgs, zip files) to dvd?

Hello
I have my film compressed on dvd and was wondering if it is possible to add a folder with some files...word documents, jpgs, etc?
Thanks

Hi Bruce
Yes, you can. There are a couple of ways to approach it.
The first is to simply include the folder, and have some kind of written instruction on the DVD, or in the box, as to how to find them. So there's no intelligent linking between the DVD video and the extra content. To accomplish this, create a folder manually in the Finder (eg "Temp"), create a subfolder within it called, for example "Extra Content", and then find the "DVD-ROM" section in the Inspector, tick "Content" and browse for your parent (Temp) folder. The Temp folder does not get added to the DVD, but its contents (the Extra Content folder) does.
The second is to make the DVD more interactive by making links between the DVD content and the additional material. So, for example, you can build a button which automatically opens a Finder window of the Extra Content folder. You should look at the "DVD@ccess" feature in the Help menu / user guide to find out more. This tends to be less reliable, since Mac users have to set DVD Player to use DVD@ccess links, and PC users have to install a piece of software that DVD Studio Pro puts onto the DVD.
If possible, I would recommend the former, just because it's easy and doesn't depend on extra software.

Add a word doc showing fonts in PDF

I need to convert a word doc into a PDF, but I need to be able to show the fonts and spaces that are in the word doc to the PDF doc.. Is there a way to do that? Please assist.
Thank you,
Patty~

Are you simply trying to say that you want the PDF to have the same formating as the Word document?
And before we go any further, this topic would be best brought up in the Acrobat forum. You will need Acrobat to create the PDF.

I have paid for Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR but it will not recognise a letter in the serial number for me to update my adobe account and any of the programs I have tried using to convert a PDF file on a Mac to a word doc it is converting file with funny sym

I have been supplied info in an email to copy and paste for a new product purchase "Adobe Acrobat XI Pro OCR" but am unsure how and where to copy and paste to. There is also a link below the serial number. I have tried entering serial number into my Adobe ID but it is not recognising one of the letters in the 24 Digit serial number??? Also I have tried other products previously downloaded to convert a 7 page PDF file on my Mac and convert it to a Word doc but everything I have tried is converting the file to display some text correctly but also displays random symbols and fonts in place of the handwritten info filled in on the form... also getting blank pages included instead of the info??? Would appreciate some help... I am older generation and not always tech savvy, and it is doing my head in haha.

Hi Jock,
I've checked your account, and all is well there. Please make sure that you're logging in with the same Adobe ID/password that you used when you signed up.
Then, clear the browser cache, and try logging in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Opening a word doc by pushing a button in Captivate 3

I want my students to be able to click a box to print out a
word doc (handout) at the begining of a course. How/where do you
place the word file to get it to work?? Or is there a better way to
do this?
Thanks

To do that, you must
assume that Word (or a compatible program) exists on that
computer, and that the document is placed in a path that the word
processing application can find, activate, and order to print.
Would it work just as well for you to incorporate the
document into your Captivate project itself, say as a slide, which
can be printed by jumping to it from within the SWF document? Or
perhaps the Word document could be converted to a HTML document and
placed on a known location on the Internet? That would also work,
and neither would require opening an application other than the web
browser that is already displaying the project. Just thinking out
loud ...

Problem opening word doc if folder or file contains space

Hi All,
I am writing a program to open a word doc.The code i wrote is as follows
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\\program files\\Microsoft Office\\Office\\Winword.exe"+" file:\\\\"+path);
} catch(Exception ex) {
System.out.println(ex);
the variable path will contain
C:\My Documents\abc.doc
if the folder name or file name contains space in between, the word document will not open.It gives an error saying
trying to open C:\My\ couldn't find the file.
otherwise(if folder or file name doesn't contain space) it works fine.
So how do i overcome this problem?
Regards
S S Kurgod

Just a guess, but since it's based on the file protocol, you could try replacing the spaces in the path variable with %20%

How can I post or add a PDF, DOC, MP3 or other file on my site for visitors to download?

The exact approach can vary, depending on if you are hosting your site using Adobe Business Catalyst or another hosting provider. In either case, however, the steps would be something like this:
Use an FTP client to create a "documents" folder on your site.
Upload the files you want to link to into this folder.
Add links to these files in Muse using the full URL (i.e. http://mysite.com/documents/filename.....
The Preview Page/Site in Browser options in Muse should work fine. Clicking on a link to one of the documents will open it in the Browser. The built-in Preview feature in Muse will work for some document types and not others. It just depends what you're linking to.

This feature is coming up in Muse 2.0 and is available for testing in Muse 2.0 Public Beta currently available. Please check out a demo video at http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/add-and-link-to-any-type-of-file/

Word docs become huge RTF files in RoboHelp 8.02

Every Word document that I add to the RoboHelp 8 project becomes huge in file size. For example, a 100k Word 2007 document that consists of a couple of pages of text with a couple of small JPEG images (around 50k each) becomes a 15-30 meg RTF file in RoboHelp after importing. The same happens if I created the page/document from within RoboHelp. Is there a setting to keep the RTF files from swelling to such large gigantic sizes?

I found out what the problem was. For some reason, the RTF files swell up when the a jpeg image is added and embedded into the Word document. I created a test document and converted some of the jpeg images to bitmap (BMP) files and used the Image import tool that comes with RoboHelp. The RTF documents stayed tiny even when the same images were added but now as BMPs. The difference is that the RoboHelp image tool creates a link to the bitmap image as opposed to embedding it in the document which is what happened with the jpegs. I read about this in another post that alluded to this in one of the RoboHelp forums.
Thanks!

Is it possible to add a extra button to each separate slide of a slideshow?

I'm using a 100% width slideshow with text on each slide. I want a button 'read more' on each slide that links to the exact page. I know the button can be integrated in the text of the slide but i want it separate. To have a different colour and spacing. Can somebody help me?
For example I inserted an image. I know how to make the white box separate for each slide but i can't make the read more button separate for each slide.

Create your Read More box.
Highlight the end of you text inside your caption box.
Copy and paste your Read More box at the end of the text string.
You can move the white background up to separate it from the Read More box (see attached image).
You can also use the Wrap feature to move the box around.

Word doc file conversion error - virus or OS?

I have word documents made on the Mac and have only existed on the Mac. When double clicked, some of them will not open anymore. Office prompts to convert the file but no matter what format chosen, the converted file is no good.
This issue doesn't seem to effect all word docs. Seems like there was an Mac OS update or something that may have caused issue. The system has Parallels running XP and it was thought that might have allowed a virus or caused some corruption. (The virtual PC never had e-mail setup or Office installed.) Moving the files to another Mac provides the same results. So the files themselves seemed to have changed or it's something in the OS.
Only difference I have noticed between the two files are, the files that don't open have a file extension and the files that do open have none. The ones with no file extension I think are a legacy from an older OS version that was not as strict on having them. Adding and then removing a file extension does nothing, the OS still sees those files as Word docs.
Removing the file extension on a file that has one, does not change convert file prompt. In fact it just makes the file loose it application type so the OS doesn't know what type of file it is.
All of this was happening using Office 2008 (Word 12.3.6) so today I bought Office 2011 today to see if the issue could be resolve and got the same results.
I have read many threads on Word conversion issues but none like this one or that doesn't involve a PC. Anybody have thought or seem this? Maybe there is a work around I'm missing?
Thanks for your time.

Thank you about your XP answer. That makes sense. I would think that would be a major flaw in the Parallels product.
That leaves OS versions possibly. All these word docs were created in Office 2008 after the company got the Macs and made the switch. The only things that really changed over that time was OS upgrades and MS Office updates.
The issue only came to known last year. Inital research and current have found nothing to act on. Other issues I've read involve going between platforms and that's just not the case here. We threw the PCs out after the move.
This issue effects many files throughout our client file folders, the only differences being as I noted. Attach two JPEGs showing a good (no extension) and bad (has file extension) file info.
