Vista CP2 cannot paste background to new slide

I am working in Captivate 2 on Vista. I would like to copy
the background of one slide and paste to another slide. However the
paste as background option is grayed out. And Paste as Image is not
even listed as an option. Not sure what's up with this. If I paste
the image into photoshop and then save as an image file, then I
cannot insert image from file...but that's a lot more steps than I
wanted...any ideas?

Hi Margaret_M
Sorry, no suggestions other than to say that only Captivate 3
is supposed to work with Vista.
Cheers... Rick

Trying to copy and paste objects in keynote 6 I only get a hyperlink when pasting. Anyone else having the same problem? is there anywhere I can change it so that the copied object is pasted directly into the new slide?

Hi
I am trying to copy one object from one lside to another slide in the same presentation. The only thing I get when pasting is a hyperink. Does anyone know how I can turn this off so that the image or the object is pasted as copied to the new slide?
Thanks a lot

there are some unexpected issues when copy and pasting.
As a workaround, use duplicate slide to get the same object in another slide, (select the slide in navigator and command D or right click > duplicate)

Automatically create new slide after pasting large block of text?

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to have Keynote automatically create new slides if I paste text that doesn't fit into a single slide? The biggest time waster I've encountered is the apparent requirement to break up large chunks of text manually.
If Keynote does not do this, any ideas as to an Applescript or something that could help?
Much appreciated

I usually try dragging from the bottom up in Web pages, it can be tricky getting at the part you want without the extraneous formatting, since that is concealed from you and web designers use many different methods for layout.
That's why pasting into a plain text document is a good idea to shake off the web formatting, otherwise you are groping around whatever Pages has interpreted the formatting to mean. Even browsers don't get this all right.
If the original was formatted as a table which won't fit one of the cells on a Pages page, it just pops and won't continue because Pages does not allow breaks in mid cell. If the cells are small enough to fit and you have pasted the table inline in the main text body of a WP file (between the margins) it will flow.

Cannot paste and match style bug in keynote '09

Since upgrading to Keynote '09 I cannot utilize the past and match style function when wanting to duplicate fonts between slides. For instance, if I want to highlight some text from a working document and put that text onto a slide in Keynote, I select the text and copy it- go into keynote and click on my slide and then right click to insert the highlighted text. After the upgrade the text just drops in the (default black font from the document) - not the larger white font on the black background slide.
So now I have to manually highlight each text box - 1) change font 2) change font color.....very frustrating and time consuming. I have yet to see any one else on the forums having a similar issue with Keynote '09

I am rarely on these forums and was just browsing over lunch when I saw yours.
The Paste and Match style command pastes the text in to the text box with the font and style already allocated to that text box, regardless of its origin.
If you just do a regular Paste (Command V - not sure about your right clicking as I have a single button mouse) that will paste the words in with their original font and format.
I use the Copy and Paste Style keyboard shortcuts ALL the time; it saves so much time. Just highlight the text form you want (font, size, colour etc) and, instead of just Command C to copy it, do an Alt Command C . . this copies the format and not the text. Highlight the text you want to change (it doesn't work if you just pick the text box - you have to highlight the text itself) and Alt Command V to paste in the new formats. You can do this with any objects too - drop shadows, line weights, fills, colours etc. This also works between Pages and Keynote.
What I most want from Apple is a Copy and Paste Build command!
Hope this helps

Cannot paste any online pictures from any websites into word/powerpoint/onenote 2013

I cannot paste any pictures/ images copied from any websites into word, powerpoint and onenote.
Now, i am so stressful because this strange problem occurs with both versions of Microsoft Office (2010 and 2013). I had updated the Microsoft Office from 2010 to 2013
with the hope that this problem will be solved in 2013 version but I was so disappointed. I was so addicted to onenote and cannot live without onenote. In the past, I always used onenote to store countless handmade-creating articles and so many other information
found on websites and other resources by simply copying (Ctrl + C) and pasting (Ctrl + V) them into onenote without any problems.
This strange problem has occurred and resisted approximate 2 months. Now I am almost going insane. I am longing for help, any help from the online community. Please!
I will describe the problem in more details.
-My laptop was Asus N550JV, and it was installed only one operating system: Window 8 single language by manufacturer. Nothing such as virtual machine or multiple operating
systems in this laptop.
-This problem occurred with all websites, not only with a certain website or a specific website.
-It occurred with all of my latest-updated web-browsers, including firefox, internet explorer (which was pre-installed by factory in my window 8), opera, safari, chrome.
-Despite of using whatever web-browsers listed above, although the whole articles (text and pictures) on these websites were copied, however there was only text pasted
successfully, excluding pictures.
-Pictures/ images were not pasted together with text. The onenote/word/powerpoint only shows a blank space where the picture should be in. If I click on this blank space,
a frame will appear covering this blank space inside, and the url address of this picture was shown. The
“drawing tools”
tab appeared instead of “picture tools”
tab. I guessed the pasted pictures were considered as drawing objects, not as pictures.
-After many unsuccessful attempts to solve this problem in Microsoft Office, some days ago I decided to install Open Office of Apache in the same laptop in order to make
a control test between the two programs. I was successfully in copying and pasting text and pictures on many websites (using whatever web-browsers I am having) into text document of Open Office without any problems. Pasting pictures and text from websites
into Open Office was successful, so that what the hell was happened with my Microsoft Office?
-If I download or save the pictures found on websites to my laptop then using the
“insert picture”
function to insert these pictures into word/ppt/onenote, these pictures were inserted successfully without any problems.
-Copying and pasting text and pictures from old articles stored in onenote to a newly created word document were successful without any problems. Copying and pasting text
and pictures between word and word, onenote and onenote were successful without any problems.
-It was concluded that this problem only occurred with online pictures pasted from websites, while inserting or pasting the downloaded pictures were successful
without any problems.
-My internet connection was not disrupted during copying and pasting processes.
-My Canon laser printer only recognized and printed the text lines, there were only blank spaces in the places where the pictures should be in.
During two months since having this problem, I have searched so many times in order to find a solution. All of solutions listed behind I already found on internet and tried
them all but nothing worked! This problem still resisted in Microsoft Office 2013 and now I am so sad and tired because of it.
List of solutions I found and tried but nothing worked:
-Right-clicking then choose "paste option: keep source formatting”
and choose “set as default paste option"
-On the
View tab of the Ribbon or on the status bar, choose
Print Layout view, not Draft view.
-Go to
Office Button | Word Options | Advanced: Show document content and make sure that
“Show drawings and text boxes on screen”
is checked and that “Show picture placeholders”
is not checked.
-Go to
Office Button | Word Options | Display: Printing options and make sure that
“Print drawings created in Word”
is checked.
-On the
Home tab of the Ribbon, locate the
Paragraph group and click the dialog launcher arrow in the bottom right corner to open the
Paragraph dialog; in that dialog, make sure that line spacing of the paragraph the picture is in is not set to an
Exact value.
-Paste the picture and immediately press
Ctrl+Shift+F9 to unlink it. The picture will then be embedded in your document.
-If you find that Word hangs when you try to paste, you can instead select
Edit | Paste Special and choose “Device-independent Bitmap”
instead of the default of “HTML format.”->
I could not try this solution because my paste special options only had three choices: unformatted text, html format, unformatted unicode text.
-Select File, Options, Advanced, then under
Cut, Copy, Paste section set "insert/paste picture as”:
tight/ inline with text/ through/ square/ top and bottom/ in front of text/ behind text… -> I have tried all
choices but nothing worked.
-Rename the Normal.dot or Normal.dotm global template file: run cmd.exe and type
ren %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dotm OldNormal.dotm. Then type
exit, and then press Enter. Or go to C:\Users\Home\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates to rename the Normal.dot/ Normal.dotm file manually.
-Turn off the "Use draft quality" option:
Click
File, and then click Options. Click Advanced,
Under Print, click to clear the Use draft quality check box. Click OK.
-Change the view to:
Print Layout/ Full Screen Reading/ Web Layout/ Print Preview
For Word 2010-2013: Click File, and then click Print.
-Check the box for
“Print background colors and images”
at File | Options | Display: Printing options.
-Check the box for
“Show background colors and images in Print Layout view”
at File | Options | Advanced: Show document content.
-Using repairing function to repair the Microsoft office 2013.
Nothing worked! I have no clue of what have been happened with my Microsoft Office! Please help!
I cannot upload a screenshot taken from my laptop into this forum. It said that
body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account.

To Scxy1234: I also don't know why my paste special options only had 3 choices excluding "device independent bitmap'
To Steve Fan: I created the new second user account in my window 8. It was set as a standard account, not as administrator account as my first original user account. Specifically, i used the same email address with this forum account's to
create this second user account. It means that the second user account in my laptop also was a Microsoft account.
Can you guess what happened after i had logged in to the second user account? I opened some random websites by firefox, copied and pasted all text and pictures on these websites into a word document and onenote successfully without any problems!!!!
I saved this word document and exported this onenote section to a Usb. After that, i switched from second standard user account to my window administrator account and opened the two files which were saved to Usb previously. They were opened and displayed
normally as the same as what i previously had seen in the second user account, i.e. pasted text and pictures were displayed normally. However, when i opened the same web address again to copy the same text and pictures to word and onenote, there were only
text lines pasted successfully, excluding pictures! This old strange problem happened again when using original administrator account for logging in window. In contrast, when using the second standard user account to log in window, copying and pasting text
and online pictures of Microsoft office worked normally.
I truly don't figure out the reason(s) caused this strange problem. I think my case is a special case because i tried all solutions other people had tried but nothing worked.
Please help me!
p/s: when i logged in the second standard user account, i opened the paste special options in word and there were only 3 choices under paste special options, excluding "device independent bitmap"

Changing the size of a background on Question Slides

Hi All,
I have a Question Pool and I would like the background of the slides to be the same as one i use for a ppt presentation. I have copied the background and used the 'Paste as Background' option you get when right-clicking. It pastes the image but the image is smaller than the slide itself. Does anyone know how to change the size of the background so that it fits the size of the slide?
Thanks.

Hi there
Okay, so it would seem to me that you may not fully understand Captivate and resolutions. So heres the deal.
It appears that you are expecting the image to stetch to fill the entire computer screen. You stated you cannot get the image to size beyond 1440 pixels. Well, this is because your project is sized at 1440 pixels.
Remember, the Captivate movie will usually be played back to the viewer from inside a web browser. Normally you want the movie size to be smaller than the surrounding browser. Like this:
In the example above, the White part of what is inside the browser may be the width of the Captivate movie.
Does this make better sense?
Cheers... Rick

Recording new slides doesn't work

I am trying to add some additional slides to an existing .cp file. (Captivate 4) I select the option to insert recording slides. I choose to add the recorded slides after the currently selected slide, and I select the recording window. I set the mode to training simulation, and click the Record button. I can hear the little camera click as I go through the steps, occassionally adding a manual screen shot of my own. When I am finished, I press End, which returns me to Captivate.
In Captivate, I have one new slide at the end of the movie (not after the currently selected slide as requested) ... and no other new slides. If I try to record again, I get a message that I already have a recording session going on, and that I have to stop that session before I proceed. Of course, I have stopped that session, and have no way of stopping it again. I've got to exit Captivate to get out of this predicament.
I have tried copying all of these slides into a new movie, thinking there was something wrong in the movie. But the same thing happens in there.
I have tried recording in a different movie with the same dimensions and then importing them into this movie ... but the slides don't import.
I have invested too much time in the first part of this movie. I only had this one last section to record and it would be finished. I don't want to start all over again if I don't have to.
Do you think the movie is just corrupted in some way, or is this a problem that somebody has a fix for?
Thanks.
Marge

Hi Marge,
Yes, it does sound like your original movie may have become corrupted. I would suggest that you try copying slides from your original project to a blank project one by one. If one of the slides will not copy to the new project then you will know that your original project is indeed damaged.
However, since you are using Adobe Captivate 4, it might be worth seeing if you can record additional slides using the Captivate backup file. Begin by creating a copy of the. bak file, remove the .bak suffix and then try recording additional slides using this project file.
If this doesn't resolve the problem then you could try removing the .dat file from the following location.
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
Please note that if you are using Windows Vista then the path might be slightly different.
FWIW, I have seen instances when you try to record additional slides in Captivate 4 where you cannot - for some reason - select the application you want to capture screens from the Select Application of the Record Additional Slides dialog. To be fair I have managed to get around this by creating a new project file, capturing my screens and then importing these into my main project file.
If none of the above suggestions work, then re-install Captivate. Failing that please report this issue using the link I have included below.

Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once?

Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once? OR do you have to copy and paste each line of text to speech and insert into new slide?

Hi there
I believe that you end up with a single file that you can use. Once you get that created, it's an audio file in the library. You may then add the audio file to another slide or object by looking in the Library after choosing to add audio.

How can I create a new slide that starts where a complex animation on the previous slide ends?

I am creating a series of animations to illustrate a complex set of ideas, and I want to do it as a series of animations, to keep each slide from getting too complex. I would like to do this a stages, by creating a new slide that is a copy of where the previous slide ended. I'm hoping that some of you have done more with Keynote animations than I, and that you'll be able to give me a few suggestions. Thanks!!

Thanks, Gary. I should have mentioned that the previous slide moved and scaled several groups of objects. So, at the end of the slide's activity the groups of objects were in different positions and were of different sizes than they are when I return to the slide. So if I copy the opbject sn paste them onto the next slide, I still need to get them to the right place, and scale them. That's tricky, especially since text objects don't scale like graphic objects. Thanks for trying tohelp, though. I apprecaite your effort!

Cannot install itunes on new laptop

Cannot install itunes on new laptop, even when security software is disabled. Downloads fine, goes through install and then says it can't install on my system. I have admin priviledges and already have Quicktime running. Help! I have itunes already running beautifully on 3 other computers and an ipod touch with home sharing - but my new laptop just won't intall itunes. Can anyone help?

Many thanks. Quite often with the 0x800736B3 on the iTunes install, there seems to be an 0x8007000b in play for Windows Update.
Let's try the following document first:
[Windows Update error 8007000b|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-error- 8007000b]
Next head to Windows Update and try stocking back on Windows Updates again. If you're a long way behind (sometimes this has been going on for months for people), you may need to do it in several batches. Basically, keep going back to Windows Update until it stops offering you new updates.
After you're stocked back up on Windows Updates, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
(If you can't get Windows Updates to install, post back to let us know the error codes you've been getting on the most recent attempts at updates. Sometimes things are in such a snarl that we have to try a few different measures with them.)

Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file. This happened after running CCleaner

Photoshop CS6 cannot open or create new file. This happened after running CCleaner

Hi, I've been asked to join this discussion. CCleaner is a nice tool, but if you used the Registry Cleaner that came with it, it might have done something to Photoshop's registry entries. There is that danger in using them.
One thing CCleaner does is leave a backup of the registry, or you can use Windows System Restore to go to that point before you ran the Cleaner. Let's go with System Restore. Review the instructions.
System Restore - Microsoft Windows
If you suspect a virus, I'd like to direct you here http://bleepingcomputer.com/
That would be the "Am I infected?" forum.
They have the tools, you run them, and copy and paste the logs that are generated. They are very good at this, but it is super important you follow directions and don't leave until the process is completed.

Images Still Visible in Background of Next Slide

I am using Captivate 6. I'm exporting SWF/HTML5. I have an image on one slide which is set in the properties to display for "rest of slide", NOT "rest of project". However, when the project forwards to the next slide, the images from the previous slide are still visible in the background of the new slide. How do I fix this? This is not a publishing problem, as it's visible when I preview the slides within Captivate.

Hi,
First of all try to check if the browser runs with compatibility view mode:
- Launch Internet Explorer.
- Go to Tools > Compatibility View Settings, check the option "Show all sites in compatibility view".
If the problem persists, as Sebastian said, recreate the CMS database and then redeploy the war files.
Regards,
Asma
