    Hi there:

    How could I save a project in cpt format (from Captivate 5.5) ?

    I'm trying to find something similar in the forums with no success.

    Thanks in advance!

    No way, sorry. Captivate has never been backwards compatible.

    Hello,

    I'm sorry, but Captivate has never been backwards compatible. It is not possible to open a project of a later version in a previous version, not even to save a project to the format of a previous version. Captivate 5 has been built up from scratch and is really rather different, moreover it supports only Actionscript3.

    This is nothing new: you couldn't open a CP4 project in CP3 neither.

    Hello gail.lynch,

    In respond to your question i would like to inform you that Captivate 5 saves file in " cptx" format whereas Captivate 4 in " cpt".

    So it is not possible to open Captivate 5 file in Captivate 4.

    However, you can open Captivate 4 file in Captivate 5.
