Timing appearance of PPT slideshow elements after importing to Captivate

Question

I know that in Captivate I can import PPT slides along with
the animations (bullet points appearing one at a time, etc.), and
that if these are timed in PPT, the timing can be preserved on the
Captivate timeline after importing... However, do you have to time
the bullet points coming up while in PPT, or is there a way to
import PPT slides and then control the appearance of bullet points
or other objects within Captivate (to match up with audio narration
recorded outside of PPT, for example)?
What we are trying to achieve is to have Subject Matter
Experts create PPT slides and narration that will go along with
them, then record the narration and produce a narrated presentation
through Captivate that synchs the narration with the appearance of
visual elements in the PPTs.

Answer 1

Larry Walther described a method for controlling the timing
of animations in imported PowerPoint slides in this message. It
sounds as if you have a similar situation.
