Exporting captions into .DOC without MS Word?

Question

Hello,I've been using Captivate for quite some time now, and lately we've upgraded to version 4.My company has been working to add vocal annotations to all of our clips, by exporting the captions to a DOC file and sending them over to the narrator. Now I began working on a computer that has OpenOffice installed, and then I've realized that Captivate requires MS Word to be able to export simple document files!Is there a workaround?I'm not interested in buying MS Office just for the sake of being able to export - which is an integrated part of Captivate! I'm hoping that I don't have to purchase an additional software, which I don't need, just to be able to use one of the features of Captivate.How can I convince Captivate to export through OpenOffice's Writer?

Hi thereI'm thinking that if you have Captivate 3 or 4 you can work past it by simply using the Export to XML. Modify the XML accordingly and import back into Captivate just as you did the Word document.Cheers...
