I have a power point presentation where the font is Univers, however when I upload into a new project in Captivate 8, the font style changes.  How can I keep the original font?

    What do you mean by 'upload'? Did you import the ppt? Did you check the option 'High Fidelity'? I never use PPT as start for an eLearning course myself, but I'm a bit astonished. Normally each PPT-slide is converted to a 'movie' slide, why should a font style be replaced? Or are you not talking about the converted PPT-slides but about a text object style in Captivate?

    BTW which exact version number do you use? Last version of 8 started with 8.0.3

    The power point was imported into Captivate, I checked the Version - 8.0.1.242.  While I understand building a presentation from the ground up in Captivate is ideal, this was not my choice and I have to work to make the customer happy.  I am talking about the converted PPT slides, no work has been done in this project with regards to text objects.

    Did you check 'High Fidelity' when importing? Could you try to install update to 8.0.3?

    If that will not help, only alternative I see is to capture the PPTX while it is playing? It is a bit astonishing though...since you cannot edit anything in the imported PPT-slides. I suppose you have that font installed?
