Cannot Import PowerPoint into Responsive Design Template

Hi,

I have a PowerPoint which needs to be converted to a Responsive Design Project. I notice that when I create a new Responsive design project, the Import PowerPoint is greyed out.

Is this normal?

Also if I create a basic Captivate Project, is it possible to convert it to a responsive project if a client decides they require this, without a complete rebuild?

thanks

    It is not possible to import Powerpoint slides in a responsive project at all, seems logical to me but will not bother you with an explanation. The technique, programming is so different. The provided themes are responsive, PPT is not.

    Same negative answer for your second question, for the same reason. You can use the assets from PPT, but will have to create your own responsive project.

    Hi

    So if I have a project in Captivate 8 but a client wishes to make it responsive I have to basically start again or copy and paste all elements into the new project?

    Thanks

    That is correct. If the project was not originally created as a Responsive project, you cannot turn it into one.  And you cannot change a responsive project back to an ordinary CPTX project either.
