TOC in Captivate 4

I have a project created in Captivate 4 via importing a power
point. When I add the table of contents, the power point slides
start to overlay each other when playing the project. There is also
some Action Script for some questions we wanted to do a specific
way, so that could be my problem, but wondered if anyone else has
had issues w/the TOC?

Hello and welcome to the forum,
In Captivate 5 you can change this icon. For CP4 I believe someone created a widget, am looking for it later on and will be back when I find it.

Detail Region as TOC for captivate (.swf) files

Hi All,
Not sure how to explain this, but i will do my best. I didnt like the TOC/Aggregator for CP 5. Thinking maybe to use Spry data using the Detail Region sample. I thought it would be simple to just combine the Detail Region code with the publsihed .swf and .htm code. But not sure what im doing wrong or if this is even possible to do. I was experimenting just using the exact same code and xml for Detail Region sample and modifying it a bit. See below...
Appreciate the Help! Thank you.

Hi,

Adobe Captivate 8.1 TOC not refreshing when published

I have Adobe Captivate v8.1. In my project, which originated in PPTX, the slides are not refreshing in the TOC in Captivate. I have used the 'reset' button in TOC but when I publish, it is not picking up the slide title?
thanks Lynn

PowerPoint is not the best about managing slide titles. Unless you created the content in outline mode, or laboriously added titles to each slide in outline mode, you may find that what appears to be a slide title in PowerPoint is not recognized as a slide title by Captivate.
The good new is, once you add the titles (either in Captivate or in PowerPoint), you should be able to see them in the TOC after refreshing it.
Just be aware, you'll loose any customization to the TOC contents when you refresh.

Can I edit image size in the TOC?

Is it possible to edit the size of the image placeholder used for the TOC in CP5?
I'd like to use it for a company logo to free up some design space and keep marketing happy, but I can't make it big enough.
Unfortunately I don't have access to Flash so if there is an alternative way that would be great.
Thanks
Sam

Hi,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to edit the size of the image placeholder in TOC in Captivate 5. The image is scaled down to project size and displayed in the TOC.

Is there a way to make the video I have added to my TOC larger?

I have added a video to my TOC in Captivate and would like to know if there is a way to make it larger? My goal is to have a talking head video play next to and sync with a powerpoint deck. I am able to get the layout how I want it, however, my video (originally 640x480) is showing up very small. I would like to know if there is a way to make the video appear larger.

Afraid not. The TOC video is very limited in size.

Custom TOC

I am trying to create a custom TOC in Captivate. I don't want to use the built in one with captivate. We are looking to have the menu slide up from the bottom, and display checkmark and other things as they complete stuff. The only problem I am hitting (and a big one) is that I cannot have multiple named items on screens. And of course on the master I cannot name it. So I have no options of calling the menu from actions, unless I create a seperate name on each slide and have to code each one.
Any ideas? thanks in advanced.

Getting the TOC progress indicator w/o displaying the TOC?

Hi,
I want to display the progress indicator (that is, the 00:30 / 06:00 Minutes widget that comes with the TOC) in my Captivate output, but I do not want the TOC. Is there any way to display this type of progress indicator without the TOC (in Captivate 4 or 5)?
Thanks!

Abhishek,
The goods movement will not be allowed without system status release.
But with user status you can block goods movement even if the system status is "Released".

Bookmark feature in CP4 TOC

Okay, so I know the bookmarking question has been done to death and as I understand it Captivate doesn't support any kind of bookmarking. What it does do however (if it's linked with an LMS) is resume where a user drops off. That, imho, isn't bookmarking as much as it is a resume feature. (and most of the people who have co-opted the word 'bookmarking' are actually looking for this resume feature)
Now if Captivate doesn't support bookmarking of any kind then why is there a 'bookmark' feature in the TOC? The default TOC in Captivate 4 has a little star that claims to bookmark - but in all my testing I have no idea WHAT it does. I can fill in the circle but that's about it. I can't unfill it. I don't get a dialog box or anything that lists the users bookmarks so they can choose .. I'm just not sure what that "bookmark" in the TOC is supposed to do.
What I'd like it to do is bookmark slides so at a later date a user can go into the course and pull up their "bookmarks" and choose which one they'd like to view.
Anyone have any clue if this can be accomplished?
Thanks for your help peeps!

Hi Bradley,
It should work just a Lilybiri described and that is also how it works for me.
Any chance you are deploying through and LMS? If so then you also need to select "Never send resume data" in the SCORM reporting settings. Otherwise that would create a bookmark for you.

TOC ideas

I'm looking for ideas about how to best handle the TOC in Captivate 6. The solution needs to be HTML5 compatible.
I prefer the overlay style because it is not so distracting and busy looking as a TOC that is always open, and it takes less space.
However, I want to make it more intuitive for learners without having a written or verbal explanation of how to use the TOC. It is not at all intuitive that learners can click the double arrows to open and close the TOC.
If the double arrow could be replaced with a label "Table of Contents" that would help, but the TOC widget is Flash, so I don't think it would work with HTML.
Any ideas welcomed.
Adding to my post, I know that I can replace the standard double arrow with an image that says TOC, but the image is so miniscule that it is impossible to read.

Hello,
klick into your table of contents (the entries should now be marked with the blue color) and then open the "Inspector". Go to "Text" and press the "Tabs" button. Change the "Tab Stops" entry (doubleclick on it) to a smaller value.

Animating a TOC

I'm trying to animate a TOC in Captivate 5, and have it show on every slide. I'd like each new topic to "fly in" from the left....for example.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Since no one has answered something, perhaps you should be a little bit more detailed? I'll try to ask some questions:
Which version of CP do you use?
You want on the first slide to have an animation, flying in the first topic, right?
Has this first topic more than one slide? Do you want the same animation on each of those slides, or only on the first one?
How do you create the rest of the slide, besides the TOC: are those captured slides or slides created with objects?
When the second topic starts, should the first one remain static or also fly in before the second one?
Do you understand what I mean by more details?

Can i edit slideShow size?

when i go to view a thumbnail and it opens the picture up the window covers my whole screen (23inch) and my pic is only like 500 pixels. is there a way to resize the slide show window so it fits perfect around my pic. or will i have to open the slideshow HTML in dreamweaver and reset it there?

Change the table of contents in Adobe Presenter 9

It appears that Presenter automatically creates the tables of contents for a Powerpoint presentation based on the slide title. Is there a way to modify the name that appears with a TOC navigation without changing the slide title?
I would also like to know if it's possible to structure the TOC so that there are main topics and sub topics. For example, in Captivate, you can modify the TOC by clicking on the arrows in the menu to push categories under one another, like an outline:
Main Topic
     Subtopic Slide 1
     Subtopic Slide 2
Main Topic 2
     Subtopic Slide 1
     Subtopic Slide 2

Presenter doesn't have the same functionality for the TOC as Captivate. There is some wizardry that can be done if you want to adjust the look of the slide list.
Work around was discussed in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1970468#1970468

Remove "Slide Title" text from table of contents?

Hi all,
Is there anyway to remove the text "Slide Title" when you publish a Table of Contents (ToC) from Captivate 8?
It seems I can remove/add the other text from the ToC (e.g. project name, title, etc.) but not the line that appears above all of the slides and the accompanying bookmark button/icon.
Any ideas?
Cheers,

Hi Lilybiri,
Ah thanks for the confirmation and reply. That's a shame but I'll just work around it.
Cheers,

TOC in Captivate 4
