Is there anyway to publish each slide build in Captivate 5.5 to a word doc with slide notes?

Question

I am looking for a way to print out my slides in a word document so that my copy editor can not only read my slide notes, but also view what is on my slide making sure there are not any errors. When I build my slides, I stack images up with things fading in and out enabling me to record audio for only one slide as opposed to each build. However when I publish to the handouts, my copy editor receives a slide with a lot of things built up on it and she can not see everthing that is on the slide (only what's on top). Does anyone have any advice or information they can give me relating to publising to handouts or storyboarding so that each slide build is seen?
Thank you in advance! I appreciate any help on this!

Captivate's handouts work in much the same way as PPT handouts.  If you had a lot of objects and animation on a single PPT slide it wouldn't look much different to a Captivate slide.
One good thing about Captivate though is that if you hide objects on the timeline for a given slide, the way that slide looks in Edit mode is pretty much what it will look like in the Handout doc graphic.  With judicious hiding of extraneous objects your slide printout won't look too bad.  The reviewers should at this stage mostly be just looking at the voiceover script anyway.  The NEXT stage of the review cycle would be to check the animation and syncing with the approved voiceover.
There's no way you can give your reviewer a Word doc straight out of Captivate that will show how you've animated the objects (fade ins and fade outs or effects etc).  If it's essential tey see this in action then consider sending them a PDF output from the project with TTS speech from the voiceover script and objects roughly synced to the TTS.  I don't see any point wasting too much time on getting everything synced perfectly at this stage because reviewers are just as likely to change a lot of the voiceover and render a lot of work useless.  But some reviewers have no imagination and can't get an idea of how the elearning will turn out until they see it almost finished.  Managers are the most likely to be like this.  And the higher up in management they are, the less imagination they have.
