Captivate

Hello,i am using Adobe Captivate 2019 11.5.Is it possible to have the .doc files translated automatically?The translations with the xml file are too inaccurate for me.

Hello guys,I'm creating our chemistry lab as a 360° environment. I want to use Hotspots to explain some of our equipment that you can see in the project. Is it possible to add normal powerpoint slides to a 360 project? My idea was to send the user to a powerpoint slide that explains certain equipment. A normal information hotspot doesn't fit enough text, plus I also want pictures next to the text. I know its possible to do this by using 360 slides in a normal project. If that's not possible, is there a way to copy my existing slides from a 360 project into a normal project. Those can contain normal and 360 slides. Thanks in advanceberfried

Hi, Is there a way in which we can insert images as the Options/Answers in the Multiple Choice Questions while we are using the Quiz. Thanks

Hi,Captivate 9. Windows 10.I've recently started to experience objects that allow text, like text boxes, smart objects, feedback in quizzes and quiz submit buttons, when re-opening a project file will disaply the text hidden in captivate. And it is random objects, not all of them. When published to SCORM html, the text is also hidden. To fix it, each object missing text needs to be selected/clicked on. When clicked on the, the text appears. I have been using captivate 9 for a while now, and feel I need to update, but this has never happened. Closing the project file and reopening will create a new random missing text mess. Has anyone ever heard of this behavior? Any advice? Thanks,Dan

Hello fellow learners,  I just finished a Captivate 9 course that I need to publish in HTML5. When selecting <Publish To My Computer>, specifically the HTML5 output format, I am getting the error below.  "Could not copy folder to C:\Users\Anabel.AcevedoDeJe\Desktop\Creating New KnowledgeArticles\Assets". I haven't had this issue with previous Captivate versions, and not sure why I would not be able to save a file into my own computer folder created on Desktop. Would this error be related to a Captivate 9 setting or computer permissions? Please advise! My only option for now is to publish in HTML5 to run the course into the Rustici SCORM Cloud and then pass it on to my colleagues for courseware testing. The course will be eventually published in Cornerstone LMS. Thank you, Anabelle Acevedo 

I have a bunch of courses built using Captivate 9.  Suddenly last week, every one of them hang while publishing at about 80%. These have always worked fine in the past. I am publishing to my hard drive.  All my preferences paths are also to my hard drive.  You cannot even kill the process.  Anyone have any ideas?

Hello, I am using Captivate 2017 and developing a quiz with random question slides. I got everything set up on my Master Slide first (I did not delete any of the embedded objects) and then created FIB and Multiple Choice questions within several different pools. I typed the questions within Captivate rather than importing a GIFT because many of my questions have several FIB boxes within one question. The issue is that after saving/closing my project and opening it up again, when I open the Question Pool ALL of the questions are blank. I see the background image and the buttons (but the buttons are missing their text) and all of the questions and answers are gone. However, when I click on the question and answer text areas where the content should be, the content then appears. And when I click on the buttons, the text for the button then appears. Solutions I have tried: if I leave everything in the "disappeared" state and publish the project, the questions still do not appear.

What is the latest version of Captivate? My updater freezes and has been liek that for months now.Has Captivatee been updated lately or is it not really being updated anymore?

Good day,  I have a course created and ready to be published. The client has asked if they can now add this course into an existing LMS that they have already set-up (With a previous agency). I believe their LMS uses SCORM. I am not sure if the LMS is hosted with Captivate Prime or some other provider. What steps do I need to take to get my course to intergrate with the existing one?What kind of information do I need to get in order to publish this?Do I need to find out the course identifyer and the SCO identifyer etc?What settings/info will I need to match with theirs? I have only ever created content within Captivate until now and the LMS side of things is new to me. So, apologies if my question is a bit... heavy. many thanks. 

Hi, Using Captivate 11.5.1.499. In my project, I have three quiz questions, all using the advanced answer option, so that I can go to slides explaining why a given answer was right or wrong. I'm also using my own navigation buttons. The layout is like this:Slide 12 - Question 2 (multiple choice)If the right option is selected, jump to slide 13If one wrong answer is selected, jump to slide 14If the other wrong answer is selected, jump to slide 15Slide 13 - Q2 right. After the explanation, a button appears. When clicked, it jumps to Slide 16, which is the next question.Slide 14 - Q2 wrong 1. After the explanation, a button appears. When clicked, it jumps back to Slide 12, so the learner can try again.Slide 15 - Q2 wrong 2. After the explanation, a button appears. When clicked, it jumps back to Slide 12, so the learner can try again.Slide 16 - Question 3and so on... On the second question, a weird thing happens when previewing or publishing (HTML5). Using the example above,

I can not import any image from my computer in the project. When I press to insert a photo from either the media icon on the top ribbon or form the library button. It just shows all files as empty. Can anyone help? 

Hi everyone. I created a simple, short software simulation for a client. The simulation demonstrates a number of features, including drag&drop reordering functionality. The simulation is recorded in a smaller dimension before being copied/pasted into a larger sized project to fit into the client's template. I am not resizing the simulation in any way, only copy/pasting directly as is. For some reason, the copy/paste of the slides causes an issue with part of the recording. On playback, the drag&drop functionality distorts, condensing from 1280x720 to 800×720 for instance and then reverting back to the normal simulation once the drag&drop completes. The rest of features display as normal (click boxes, mouse movements, etc.). It is only the drag&drop motion that causes the change in size. This also only occurs when previewed or published in HTML5. Selecting Preview -> Project plays as normal. Any ideas on how to fix this for HTML5?  I have attached photo

New user, trialing Captivate 2019.Created a responsive presentation from a PowerPoint presentation.  After publishing the presentation for use in our LMS, much of the slide content disappeared.  Shut the program down and restarted, nothing.Before this Live Preview worked good, but now it's not working either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Bill

Captivate - version 7.0.1.237Windows 10 I'm a real novice, so I apologize for what's probably a basic question, but I can't find a solution to this. My mouse pointer is way off in the playback of Video Demos. I thought it might have been my old computer, and I just gave up, but I'm on a new laptop now and it's doing the same thing. I'm attaching a screenshot. Any ideas?? Thanks,KathleenExcelsior College

Hello All,After adding some background music to my project I realized there are high's and low's on some of the slides. I've tried to adjust the volume, selected the option of Adjust background audio volume on slides but this has not worked.  On a few slides, the music is louder than the narration vs other slides where you can barely hear the music. Any suggestions?I'm using Captivate 9...

Hi there, So I have a few issues. I saved my project on Thursday and retuned to it Monday and when I opened it --all the text was gone! I read that folks had similar issues but when they "clicked" on the text it reappeared. When I clicked on the text on the first slide it just closed the program and says "Adobe Captivate Quit Unexpectedly'  I have tired to copy the slides to a new deck, but same thing happens 😞 Any one had this issue--or know of the fix? Also, question if I uninstall and reinstall captivate, will I lose this current project and my past projects? And I have never used creative cloud. It always displays this error“Failed to start CoreSync Could. Not Create ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CoreSync Just not sure it those are related? Thank you! Best, Alicia

Today Microsoft pushed an update that I think modified my Edge browser, as well as making it my default browswer.  Now a Glossary widget takes a long time to load, and when it does it is not visible and therefore not working. I'm not great with the technical ins and outs of what is happening behind the scenes, but whenever I publish a course and subsequently view it I am pretty sure I was looking at it in IE.  After today's update, the courses seem to load in Edge instead and now I have this issue with the widget. Now, if I manually open IE and drag my "index.html" from a published course, it works fine after I click a button in a dialog box that says "Internet Explorer restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls."  The button says "Allow blocked content"  This fixes the issue with the Glossary widget.I'm using Captivate 2017 in Windows 10.  Any insights or help suggestions?  Thanks!

HelloI'm testing Presenter 11.1 and I'm doing well in my preview on Powerpoint but when I export to HTML5 everything goes mess... The times and transitions on the quizz stay messed up...Can some one help me with these?

When I open a Captivate project, a .cpl file is generated in the same folder as that project's .cptx file (e.g., If I create or open Captivate project named MyProject, the file ~MyProject.cpl is generated in the same directory). When I close that file, the .cpl file goes away, indicating it is some sort of temporary file. The file type for these files is Control panel item. However, I have found a number of .cpl files even when I don't have Captivate open--perhaps because I deleted a .cptx file or a .cptx somehow got corrupted. So I wind up with a number of apparently orphaned .cpl files in my project folders. While I'd like to know what these files are and why they're created, my main question is if I can delete these "orphan" .cpl files without any negative consequences.Thank you.
