Yes, Captivate can import Powerpoint easily into it's projects.

But I have 2 questions:

1: How to reserve call-outs in PPT to be still call-outs in CP? Now CP will merge all call-outs and the PPT slide into a single image.

2: How to export CP into PPT? Coz I need to control the navigate of each frame manually by mouse clicking.

Anyone here can answer my question above?

Have you had any problems importing PPT files? For certain files, I get an error that it "Could not open PPT file". The same file works fine with the old Captivate on the same exact PC. Any ideas?

I am having trouble branching (jump to slide)from an imported PowerPoint slide to a Captivate slide - the PowerPoint slide just keeps repeating upon clicking the click box or button (I have tried both). Any suggestions?

My Captivate simply hangs when I try to import a PowerPoint presentation. What is up with that?

Karen Skibba

I am having trouble with a PowerPoint presentation I loaded into Captivate. When I add audio and try to preview the presentation, the slide goes away before the audio is complete. I have checked in properties "rest of slide" and even put in that th slide should stay up for a long period lke 166 seconds. However, when I preview and try to publish, the audio keeps going but the slide disappears. Any suggestions on this frustrating problem?

Hi Karen,

Try adding a button to the slide (with a go to next slide action). See if that takes care of the problem for you.

How does one continue/pick up the numbering from one Text Caption to another?

If I publish in Flash and zip it, can they view the results in browser even if they do not have Captivate on their machine.

James Cavanaugh

I have the Flash Player installed, but when I preview a project with MS IE, a long message displays about Flash and I have to cancel it. How do I fix that?

Captivate 3. No effects in New Text Animation dialog box. No OK button. Folder has files needed.

is it possible to convert a captivate file into powerpoint slides?

Kevin Siegel

Great question. While you can import a PowerPoint presentation into Captivate, it's a one-way street I'm afraid.

The only publish or export formats supported by Captivate are SWF, AVI (if you own version 4), EXE or Word.
