Adobe Captivate 3 Question: Can I Control PowerPoint Animations?
 
I just read your post regarding Importing PPT into Captivate 3. I have created animations in PPT, for example, click to display an image, or a block of text that I want to retain in Captivate. The problem is that the animations all come over fine, but I cannot figure out how to stop them from automatically displaying. I want the user to be able to click to display content on the slide.
 
Answer:
 
Not possible with this version. Once the slide appears, it plays till it's finished. The best you can do is have a slide with a button prior to the one with the animation. Once clicked, the button will take users to the PowerPoint animation slide.

Adobe Captivate 3 Question: Why Don't Animations Work in my Previews? 

I've added an animation to a slide. The animation is fine in the published project, but doesn't work when I preview the slide. Any ideas?
 

Answer:

 
When previewing slides with animation, avoid previewing just the slide since you won't see the animation correctly (as you've discovered). Instead, preview 5 slides at a time via the Preview button.
 
Adobe Captivate Question: Can I Receive Quiz Results as an Email?
 
I am trying to use the Quiz function to record users' experiences and feedback. I want to know if there is a way to get Captivate to report the actual responses via email?
 
 
Answer:
 
Yes, you can set the Quiz Preferences to send the results as an email (either as an attachment or within the body of the email).
