Hi there
When you import a PPT, you have two options. One option allows the PPT to just play through. The other option inserts a Click Box object on slides that prevents the slide from moving forward until clicked by the user. The choice is made in the dialog.
The default is On mouse click. After your slides arrive, the timeline looks like this:
To allow the slide to move forward, delete the Click Box.

Pause button with imported power point project

Hi
I imported a power point project and published it in flash swf, and when I play a slide (in flash) and try to pause the play it does not work and it continues to '
play until the end of the slide and then it stops and when I click it continues to the next slide,
How could I make the play pause the play, when I click on the pause button (see attached snapshot)
1- using captivate 5
2- ppt 2003
3- output: flash swf
Appreciate any help

Hello Lilybiri
Thank you for your patience with me and I will attach 5 snapshots (for higher resolution, right click on the image and choose open with I.E. or you could zoom in the page)
You also asked me about the click box; yes I inserted click boxes in only 2 slides (example: slide 3), as a test, in the hope of making the pause button work but it did not do the trick, you also asked about the image in the background, it is an image and not a looping video or animation.
following are the 5 snapshots (if they do not fit in this message I'll attach them to other following messages):
Many thanks

Power point project won't move to the next slide

I create a project with several power point slides and then some automation and then slides again. The automation created within captivate moves from slide to slide. But the power point slides don't move to the next slide automatiacally. I have to click on next to make them move. I looked in the manual and can't find a source to tell me what to do with the slides to make them move automatically (like a slide show would be). Any suggestions?

3D power point images don't import

Hello,
I have a Power Point template I'm trying to import - almost
all of the slides contain images with 3D shadings, shadows, and
perspectives.
Once the slides are imported into Captivate, all of these 3D
effects are lost, and as a result, in several cases the diagrams
appear to be out of alignment.
What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

quote:
What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?
(1) You are misunderstanding how Captivate treats
Power Point project imports, and (2) there is nothing you can do to
fix it.
Power Point slides are imported to Captivate as merged
(flattened) images. All transition effects are lost during the
import, with only the finished slide being imported. This is the
way Captivate treats Power Point slides and the behavior cannot be
changed. Sorry.

Project Status Report in MS Power Point

Hi Experts!
I am very new to Project Systems. Our requirement is to create a Project Status Report. This report should be generated in MS Power Point which should be editable.
Do we have any standard reports or test reports for the same? Can someone give some pointers for the same? Your help is highly appreciable.
Thanks a lot.

Try convincing your client saying that this is absolutely not possible in standard SAP. However also let the client know about other alternative stating that standard SAP reports can be downloaded to Excel which then can be used as a reference to create a power point presentation. This, though, can be done manually only.

Objects not aligned in output power point as in project xcelsius2008 sp1

Hi everybody,
I need help...
first of all, apologise me for my english...
my principal problem is to create graphics with a legend that can be interactive with the line of the graphic... is there a function about this?
The only thing I've found to solve my problem is to create many switches buttons and put them over the legend's label, but, when I try to export to PPT this objects are not aligned with the legend's text so the result is not useful and with a bad look...
I've tried to use ceck boxes located near to the legend baut happens the same problem.
If I export in html it works properly... but I net the power point..
Thanks very much
I hope someone can help me...
Maurizio

Hi Javier Jimenez,
thanks again for the new suggestion!!
in effect this could solve my problem cause the trasparency doesn't let to see if the new icon I put over the legend's icon is not perfectly aligned!
in Italy we say : "It was the Coloumb's egg!" .. it means that if I'd thought enough, may be I'd have solved the problem by myself...
Thanks again!
If I can take advantage of you, the big problem for us is the heavyness of our swf inside ppt....
I'll try to explain..
excel file inside the project has 837 cells to be used for my graph (13 item in Coloumn x 65 item in Rows)
this because we need to create a graphic to be able to show a trend of about 2 years, which increase (filling the empty cells) every month...
so many informations, so many objects (icon, etc) tell me, is too much isn't it?
because when I've exported the file in ppt, every time it takes 1 minute only to open that chart...
is possible not to include the excel? could be a solution to take the information from an sql DB ?
thank you very much!
Maurizio

I am new at Captivate 8 and I have created a learning project using an existing power point presentation. I have added a button that will allow my students to view a video on the subject. When I run the project in Preview the button works but when I publish it, it stops working.

I added an Interactions button and in the Actions on Success I open an URL or file. I have placed the video on our web server. In the URL I point to our web server "http://www.wmabhs.org/Media/Add Client 3rd Party Coverage.mp4". If I run this from any browser it works. So what do you think I have done wrong?

Error importing a power point slide into Captivate 4 project

I am trying to add a Power Point slide to an existing project. I am using Power Point 2007 and Captivate 4. When I try to insert a Power Point slide, I get the following message:
Error Message: Unable to load nsImportPPT.dll(999)
Can anyone help with this issue. Thanks!

Hi,
nsImportPPT.dll is an "Adobe Captivate 4" dll and should be present in the "Adobe Captivate 4" installation directory (which is "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4" by default). Please check if this file exists there.
I think 999 error comes when the DLL is not found. Try Re-Installing your Adobe Captivate 4.

Is there a way to import a Power Point presentation without adding click boxes?

I want the user to navigate through the Power Point portion of my training by hitting one of two buttons. Unfortunatley, in order for me to restrict the users options to these possibilities, I have to delete every click box from the slide that is added to the power point slides when I import them. The only other option (as far as I know) is to make it so they advance automatically (without clicking) when I import the slides, and I don't want that either.
If someone can help me out, that would be great!
Thank you!
Ryan

Why not import with the option 'advance automatically' and add the buttons in Captivate? Are you talking about navigational buttons (Next, Previous)? If you are using Captivate 6 you can use a Shape button for that purpose, add it on Master slides or time them for the rest of the project if you want to have them on each slide:

Importing Power Point Slides into FCE

Hey all,
Have a project where I need to use a customer's power point slides in the finished video. Can I import them someway? Or maybe import into Live Type????
Trying to avoid having to type all of them.
Thanks,
Al

You can save a PowerPoint slideshow in many ways.
One possibility is to export a set of images with the format you like: jpeg, tiff, png, etc.: make sure to select the correct DPI (as defined in PPT) in the Options of the save as dialog. For example 180 dpi make a standard slide of 1800x1350 pixels that might fit well in standard DV sequences (default 72 dpi makes a low quality 720x540 image).
A second possibility is to export a movie; also in this case you can choose some parameters like the size of the frame. The default codec is Animation that is good, but requires a conversion of the movie in order to properly import it to FCE.

MAC POWER POINT TO CAPTIVATE

WHEN I TRY TO BEGIN A CAPTIVATE PROJECT FROM AN IMPORTED POWER POINT ON MY MAC ONLY THE LEFT HALF OF THE SLIDE IMPORTS. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT SIZES OF FILES TO SAVE BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHETHER I USE THE ORIGINAL POWER POINT SIZE OR THE SMALLER IPAD SIZE. BOTH GIVE ME ONLY 1/2 MY SLIDE. WHAT IS GOING ON? HOW CAN I IMPORT MY ENTIRE POWER POINT SLIDE.
THANKS

Hello Cinjac,
Can you tell me the version of Adobe Captivate you are using ( Go to Help> About Adobe Captivate) along with the version of Powerpoint and Mac OS ?
Can you attach a screenshot of the issue you are facing ?
Thanks and Regards

Importing Power Point without click boxes

When I import Power Point, I don't want click boxes to come
along because I just have to remove them all later. That requires a
lot of time when your power point is really huge. Is there any way
to import without the click boxes so the slides will transition
smoothly without my havign to do anything?
Thanks!

Hi janablessed
When you create a project based on PowerPoint, note the
screen you see. Look closely near the bottom of the dialog. See
that drop-down choice labeled "Advance slide"? Click it and change
it from "On mouse click" to "Automatically".
Cheers... Rick

I cannot import Power Point slides into my presentation...

Hello, have created brand new project with Captivate 7 and tried to import a Power Point slide I made seconds earlier, and I get an error message. I tried the same with a new project in Captivate 6 (I have 6 and 7) and I get the same message. See image. Power Point was closed when I tried to import it. Any ideas what could possibly be happening?
Thanks for any help!!!

As per the Captivate 7 manual:
1. In an open project, Select File > Import > PowerPoint Slides.
2. Navigate to and select the PowerPoint presentation file format that you want to import.
3. Click Open.
4. Decide where to place the imported PowerPoint slides in the Adobe Captivate project. Add the slides to the end of the project, or click a slide in the list and add the PowerPoint slides after that slide.
5. Click OK.
6. In the Convert PowerPoint Presentations dialog box, do the following:
a. Select the PowerPoint slides to convert to Adobe Captivate project slides.
b. Set navigation preferences for the selected slides.
c. If you want to link to the PowerPoint presentation, select Linked. If you want to embed the PowerPoint presentation, deselect Linked.
7. Click OK.
The PowerPoint slides are imported into the Adobe Captivate project and they appear in the designated location. If necessary, you can change the order of the slides.
Hope this helps!

Power point slides not showing

I have a rather odd problem. I've got a lengthy pdf which I converted to jpg's. I pasted those jpg's into power point into and then imported the pptx into Captivate 6. All the slides import but only the first 2 jpg's are visible. All of the other slides are blank. I know there's an easier way to do it, by converting the pdf to a pptx, and then import to captivate, but the pdf is mostly text and the text gets jumbled during the conversion. I'm just curious as to why the jpg's are not coming into captivate. And btw, I've also tried it using png's.

If you already have JPG images, why not simply use Captivate's ability to create a Slide Show and just create a project and point at the images?
Cheers... Rick

Power Point + Premiere Elements 12

Is it possible to import a power point presentation into Premiere Elements??

Cabbagepatchkid
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
What version of PowerPoint do you have? See File Menu/Save and Send.
If you have PowerPoint 2010, you should be able to export .jpg and .wmv files from PowerPoint project and import them from the hard drive save location into
Premiere Element 12 with Premiere Elements 12's Add Media/Files and Folders.
Have you been there and done that?
Please let us know if you found the features mentioned in your PowerPoint program.
Thanks.
