Publish to Word
Hello,
Using Captivate 3, I have 10 slides. I clicked on the Publish
button and then the Word icon. I then click publish again (I used
the Handouts format). Captivate then executes the job, but
everytime I click on view output or just open the word document, I
don't see the slides. The format of the output looks great, but
there are no slides. I see the outline of where the slides should
be, but again the slide does not display.
Could this be more an issue with your video card than not? On
a previous
machine, I'd open Word docs which didn't show me the images
at first. If
I double-clicked the images, they would sometimes appear. If
I scrolled
past them, then back up, sometimes they'd appear. If I moved
to a
different monitor, minimized, then maximized the Word doc,
sometimes the
images would appear....
So, are you SURE they're actually not there (and if they're
not, I don't
have any suggestion!) or could they just be...hiding? If the
latter,
check your video card drivers and perhaps change the
'acceleration'
setting for your video card.

Error message when publishing to Word 2003 from Captivate v5.5
When trying to publish a project to Word 2003 that was created in Captivate v5.5, the author is getting the following message:
Publishing failed. Please ensure that MS Word is installed and that the document is not opened and repeat.
(Translated from German to English for this thread).
The author assures me they have Word 2003 installed, and the document is not open as it has not been created yet.
I tried it on my PC with v5.5 and Word 2003 and it worked OK for me.
Any ideas why it might not work for others ?
NoelHi Noel,
I assume you are not working on MAC, in case you are try (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/902/cpsid_90224.html )
Can you do the following Test--
Launch MS word as an application in the background and then republish.
Open a New Dummy project and then try Publishing to Word.
Try exporting your text captuions to Word format and see if that is working or not?
Thanks,

Header and Footer publishing to Word
I'm using Robohelp 9 and having trouble modifying default header and footer when publishing to Word 2010.
Here's what i did:
I created a Robohelp "Master Page" and added a header and footer to it.
used single source "printed documentation" to publish to Word docx
The published Word doc still has the robohelp default header and footer.
Is there something i need to do to specify the master page when i publish? i don't see an option to do it or can't find this step in the help documentation.
Something else i tried: I created a header and footer in the Word template i use for printed documentation, however, it gets replaced by the robohelp default header and footer. This is actually the solution i would like to use so i can just specify a word template and go.
Also, it looks like i can create multiple "master pages" for a single robohelp project and then apply them, but i don't see how to apply them.Hi there
Indeed you may use multiple master pages. But these are normally applied to individual topics. And only a single Master Page may be associated with a topic at any given time.
The problem here is that you are expecting the headers and footers from Master Pages to carry over into the world of dead trees. (Printed Documentation) And that isn't something you may do.
If you want headers and footers in Printed Docs, you will need to specify them using Word after you create Printed Documentation from RoboHelp.
Cheers... Rick

Image margin properties in topic not retained when publishing to Word
I have image text wrap margins working fine in my robohelp 9 project. When I publish to Word 2010 (docx) the margin becomes set to "0". The Word template image default is set to "square" text wrap with right, left margin set to .13" (what i want). What can i do to retain text wrap margin when publishing to Word?
I have looked around RoboHelp 9 and Word 2010 and also gone back to RoboHelp 7 and Word 2003. I have tried mapping to Word and using the project CSS.
The results are always the same, no margin as you have found. Also I cannot find a way of setting default margins in either version of Word.
For a definitive answer on whether there is a Word solution, I would be heading off to http://windowssecrets.com/forums/
Failing that one option might be to amend the image so that it has a border the same colour as the background of your pages. That would give the appearance of a margin. It does of course mean if you ever change the background colour you will have a bit of image reworking so not ideal.
You should also submit a bug report. Please follow this link.

Cannot Publish to Word Handouts
When I try to publish a Captivate 2 file to Word Handouts,
the export seems to work and I get the dialog box to View Output,
but before I click on View output, I get an error message -- An
error was encountered while Publishing to Word. Please check and
make sure Word is not busy and try again.
I have checked the path for the new file and it seems valid.
I have tried with Word open and closed. I am using Word 2003
Any ideas?pshuckhart,
What other programs are running when you try to do this? I
know from experience that many clip board extenders and/or macro
programs (Classic Clipboard, MacroExpress, etc.) can cause the
print option to fail. You may want to try closing/turning off any
other programs that you have running to see if any of them are
causing the failure.

Robohelp 9 publish to word docx: format footer
For single source publishing to Word docx, is there any way to modify the default footer that is generated?
I really like the ability to publish to docx using a modified word template, however, i seem to have no control over the footer unless i open the generated word file and manually delete or modify the section breaks in order to "reveal" the footer specified in the template.
For my needs, it is not viable to have to manually modify the generated word docx.
Is there any file or control in the guts (resource files) of robohelp i can modfiy to control the default header and footer?
--or anything else i can do to automate generating the footer i need?"Is there any way to modify the default footer that is generated?"
The more people who report a bug or request a feature, the more likely it is to be actioned. Please follow this link.

In other words, NO.

Cannot Publish to Word Error - Captivate 7, MAC
I'm getting this error even though I was successful before (last week was the latest). I have gotten this before and it magically went away. I have closed down my computer and restarted and also have opened up word. Help!

MOVING DATA FROM MICROSOFT ACCESS, EXCEL, PUBLISHER AND WORD TO AN IMAC G5
I HAVE INHERITED AN IMAC G5 RUNNING MAC OSX. CAN I CONVERT MY MICROSOFT ACCESS, EXCEL, PUBLISHER AND WORD FILES FROM MY HP PAVILION RUNNING WINDOWS 98 SE TO RUN ON THIS IMAC?
Please do not post in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.
It looks like you are SHOUTING AT EVERYONE.
That said... you can purchase Microsoft Office for Mac and use your Word and Excel files as you normally would on any Windows PC.
Microsoft Access and Publisher will require you to use Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office for Windows. You'd need to install Virtual PC for Mac on your G5 to use Windows and Office for Windows.
It'll likely be slow and painful. -
Can anyone please help?
I try to publish to word handout.
The publish progress states completed with a nice green tick.
Then all of a sudden an error appears stating" Error
encountered... blah blah... Please check Word is not busy and try
again."
No word document is created.
Annoyingly yours
a doh! beHi ...Adobe,
Did you in fact navigate to the \\My Captivate Projects\
folder and physically check to see if the DOC file was or was not
there? I am sure you did, but it doesn't hurt to check, since you
especially noticed the little green check-mark indicating
completion.
I don't need to know whether the *Blah Blah* contains any
useful information. I know it does not. But there is no question
that Captivate has become *disconnected* (for lack of a better
word) from Microsoft Word.
I am sure you did check to be sure that Word was not in use
at the time, as Mr. Howard suggested, so that only leaves (based on
the error message) the idea that sometimes Word can be busy without
being used by you. For instance, if you are on a network
workstation your IT person might be auto-updating all copies of
Word - or if you are stand-alone, Windows web-updating might be
active at the time.
Or have you perhaps installed a newer version of Word? If so,
Captivate might not have been updated with the new path. It is also
possible for RAM memory addresses to become scattered (memory
*leakage*), in which case a reboot might help.
Just offering suggestions that might work to solve the
problem for you. Let us know if anything works for you.
best wishes~

Topics in TOC are not being published in Word output
Windows 7
RoboHelp 9.0.2.271
Word 2010
I am having an on again/off again problem with RH not publishing all topics.
The topics are in the RH TOC and when I double-click them while in RH, they open for editing.
However, when I publish these same topics, they are not in the Word document--although they are in the web help.
Previous fixes include rebuilding the TOC (groan) or finding that rogue piece of code that causes topics not to print in Word or web help.
Question 1: Does anyone know why this is happening?
Question 2: Short of manually comparing RH TOCs against Word and web help (for 13 books), does anyone have any ideas on how to ensure all topics are included in the output?
Thanks in advance for any help.
MaryThere's a common misconception that what is in your TOC gets published.
The TOC is used the first time you generate a printed document. Thereafter, there is no update for good reason, you may want different topics. To update to what is in the TOC you need to click the Left arrow to clear everything from the right pane, then click the right arrow to put the new version of the TOC across to the right.
If you look at the current version of the TOC you will see some books on the left are not highlighted. That indicates there are topics in that book that are not on the right.

Hi,
OS:- Windows 7
Bi Publisher :- 11.1.1.5
Microsoft Office Version:- 2010
I had downloaded the template builder for word from the home page of the BI Publisher.
I installed the template builder for word by running as administrator.
After the installation i tried to enable BI publisher menu in the Microsoft word document. it displays as "BUTTON1" and "BUTTON2"
Can you please help on this?
Is BI pub 11.1.1.5 version is compatible with MS office 2010?
Is there any new release updates to solve this issue?
Regards,
ParameshThe BI Publisher Desktop tool allows you to access your BI Publisher Enterprise server from your client PC. It does not provide any means to directly connect to your database.
A basic installation of BI Publisher Enterprise shall be accessible via eg. http://appserver.mycompany.com:9704/xmlpserver and you can access it using the seeded credentials being Administrator / Administrator. You should use the same URL and credentials for the Template Builder add-in from MS Word.
More information is available in our documentation:

Unable to see all slides in published Microsoft word Document
Hi,
I recorded a full motion project with settings as shown below.
I need to publish this project in Microsoft Word document. I tried publishing the recorded project using 'File > Publish' and selecting 'Print' option.
Publish options: Type as Handouts and all slides as export range. I am publishing it to my local folder.
But, when I open the published word document, it has only one slide that is the first screen from where I began my recording. It does not have slides for my entire recording.
Please advise.

Hi, I'm new to using Captivate 3.0 and just running in the
Trial mode as we are evaluating this product. The main reason we
want to use Captivate is because of the ease in creating Word
Documents in a custom format. However, after creating my project I
go to publish it to see the output all I get is the below error in
the log file. I do have Word 2000 installed and I've renamed the
.dat to have it rebuilt.
Error: 21002 - Word failed to initialize - may not have it
installed, or an incompatbile version,
Any advice would be appreciatedHi all
And since the error notice mentions version, maybe Captiv8r
would like to help out with that information, as that might be
helpful to all ...
Yes, well that would be nice, wouldn't it?
Unfortunately, I find it a bit on the odd side that
the error mentions a possibility of an incompatible version of
Word, yet I'm finding a dearth of information anywhere that
remotely mentions what the lowest version of Word Captivate expects
would be. However, I'll also toss out that I successfully used Word
2000 myself with Captivate for a couple of years before finally
upgrading my Office version to 2003. So it would seem that
Captivate should work with Word 2000 without issue. I used it that
way even with an unpatched original copy of Word 2000, so I'll
further add that it didn't seem necessary to ensure any patches had
been applied.
As I said earlier, it might be worth a shot, given the fact
noguegd tried the first suggestions offered and reported back they
didn't help.
For anyone that cares and is reading this thread, here is the
thought pattern on checking the Word macro security level. One of
the many other Adobe software products I use and teach is RoboHelp
HTML. In my own experience as well as having observed it in the
classroom on a number of occasions, when you try to generate
Printed output from RoboHelp, you get back an obscure message that
would seem to indicate the RoboHelp application is corrupt. The
error message is something like “Please reinstall Printed
Documentation”. No way I would see that and conclude the
macro security was the issue. But in this case, that's precisely
the issue. Since Captivate also uses Word templates for some of its
print capabilities, it seems perfectly logical to me that I might
want to at least try those settings before giving up. Besides, it
takes all of what, 30 seconds to try it? Seems it takes longer than
that for the Windows Add/Remove utility to launch and populate.
To noguegd, I have no way of knowing if you are up and
running yet, but if you aren't, I'm curious to know if you get the
same error when trying the following action: Click File * Export *
Project Captions and Closed Captions.
Now before I'm all pounced on again as offering yet another
hare brained suggestion, I'll offer up my thinking on this one.
When one follows that menu path to export the captions and closed
captions, you are also creating a Word document. The document
created using this path is substantially different than you get
with the Publish option. But if this method works, it would at
least prove that Word is working and we may be seeing an issue that
is isolated to only the Publishing Word output from Captivate.
Also, does the same issue arise when trying different Printed
output types? (Lesson, Step by step or Storyboard). It's possible
that you may see one type work and another fail, as I believe the
newer types rely upon some Word documents that are installed along
with Captivate. You will find these newer types in the following
location:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 3\Gallery\PrintOutPut
(Assuming a default installation of Captivate)
Hopefully something offered here was helpful. To someone...

Associating Files to Published applications (Word, Excel, Access)
I set up my Server 2012 -R2 with shared activation Office 365 Pro Plus. I published Word, Excel, & Access. It all works fine however the files on the local machine do not associate to anything. What am I missing to get the files to associate to the
published Office products?Hi,
How did you publish the apps? When you, as an administrator are publishing RemoteApp programs, you should be able to choose to publish file types that should be associated with that program. Then, when the RemoteApp program is installed as
part of a default connection, we associate the RemoteApp program with those file types on the client machine.
