Adobe Captivate 4 Question: Why Can't I Manually Pan?

I am unable to change the Panning drop-down menu to 'Manual Panning.'  Could you tell me where I have made a mistake or where a set up sequence might be wrong?  Thanks so much.

Answer:

From within Captivate, choose Edit > Preferences. Then select Recording > Settings. Ensure Hide Recording window is NOT selected.

Newsletter Question: Archive?

Do you store these newsletters on your website? I couldn't find them. It would be a great reference tool.

 
Answer:


I sure do. In fact, newsletter articles typically end up on my BLOG about a week after the newsletter is sent out to subscribers (so you guys get this information first).

Adobe Captivate Question: Why Won't Captivate Open Projects?

I'm using Captivate version 4 and several projects won't open. The name of the project appears in the title bar, but I can't work on it. Any ideas?

Answer:

I have heard of this several times now. There's a free patch available that will fix the problem. From within Captivate, choose Help > Updates to download the patch.

  1. I inherited about 50 Captivate lessons (or projects)… that are very basic 1280×1024 resolution and without a custom template. In order to add some professionalism and consistency, I have created both a custom Design Template and Project template for all current and future elearning material.
    The new Project template is set at a lower resolution (1014×720), so the student can see everything without needing to scroll, and there is a nice looking top graphical header.
    It is easy to apply the new Design Template to the older material, however, how can I apply the new Project template to the older material? I shutter to think I will need to insert the new graphical header and other custom settings manually to each of the older courses.
    Thank you.
