Can't copy/paste slide notes?

Why can't I copy/paste slide notes in Captivate 2017? This is pretty basic, but neither right click nor ctrl c works.

Correct answer Lilybiri

I already explained that CTRL-C and CTRL-V works, but you have to copy from a non-formatted text, which is possible as an example with NotePad. It would be a bug if everyone had the same experience, which seems not be the case.

What do you mean? I just double-checked: I could copy/paste notes within the slide notes, from Notepad to Slide Notes, from Slifde Notes to Notepad? Which copy/paste did you try?

I have no copy/paste functionality from within my slide notes. I can't right click in them at all. Nothing comes up when I right click from within the text box inside slide notes or closed captioning or text-to-speech. Not in the slide notes window. Not in any of the pop up windows to deal with specific problems. I have no options to copy, paste, cut, etc., and keyboard shortcuts don't work either. CTRL C, CTRL V, none of that works inside Slide Notes in Captivate 2017 for me.

I only use shortcuts. Something seems to be corrupted, please clean the Preferences. Close Captivate, run the CleanPreferences file which corresponds with your OS. You can find it in the subfolder 'utils' in the Captivate installation folder.
