Cannot import or Create from Power Point pptx

Question

Just installed Captivate because I want a way to publish my powerpoint slides to HTML5. I can do this fine with iSpring which works within PP, but it seems Captivate is not able to open/import pptx files. I have a lot of animation, etc, and it seems the only way to get this to work is by saving my Power Point files as .ppt only.

Why can't Captivate import pptx files directly? Or am I doing something wrong?

No, you are not doing anything wrong. PowerPoint import and publishing is not a strong point for Captivate. If iSpring gives you the results you want, I suggest you stick with that product.

As you have found, for anything other than the simplest PPT decks, you can only import after converting to PPT from PPTX. But even after importing the PPT, you are likely to find that most of your animations are not going to remain intact.
