Importing Power Point slides

Question

I have been trying to resolve this for the past two weeks. I
have been successfully importing Power Point slides into Captivate
1 for the last year. Although have not done anything different,
Captivate is no longer importing the jpg logo (height 0.58" width
1" displays top right corner) on the PP slide . Everything but the
logo is displayed in Captivate. The logo is on the Slide Master . I
replaced the Slide Master, copied the logo onto each individual PP
slide and recreated the entire power point presentation without any
success. Can anyone provide a cause and resolution? Thanks.

I have also had inconsistent results with PowerPoint imports in both Captivate 1 and 2. There seem to be less in version 2. The problem that I have been experiencing is with fonts. I will have a slide that clearly is within the frame in PowerPoint, but when imported into Captivate flows off the bottom of the slide. This is also incosistent from slide to slide. Here's what I have been doing. It's isn't ideal, but hopefully time will get this issued ironed out.

1) I go through my normal import procedures for PowerPoint presentations by look closely at the thumbnails provided before the final import. If it looks like there is going to be a problem, then I bail out at this point.

2) I go back into PowerPoint, call up my presentation, and the do a File > Save As> and then select the file type at the bottom as JPEG. It will then ask you if you want to save all. I put them in another directory and PowerPoint saves each slide image as an individual JPEG image.

3) I go back to Captivate and import these as images in the file creation sequence.

This usually results in a pretty clean set of slide.

Hope this helps.
