Captivate 10 | How to add mathematical equations in Adobe Captivate 10

[varunc48742035]

In Captivate 9, we were able to create complex mathematical equations using mathmagic editor. how to do this in Captivate 10?

MathMagic is one of the features that were taken out of CP2017, probably because it was not used that much:

If you still have CP9 installed, since it only did prduce images of the mathematical equations, maybe you can still use it and insert the images with the Media button.

Being part of a group who makes educational videos (including lots of math and science videos), removing the equation editor feature was a TERRIBLE idea.   Looks like I'm going back to version 9 until this is fixed.

As a former School Superintendent and now Adobe Captivate Instructor I teach of a lot of elearning development staff in school boards (districts) who support elementary and secondary panel educators. MathMagic was really a useful feature. Don't count on Adobe "Fixing" this - continue to use Version 9 or you can purchase from MathMagic directly.

I have been developing online materials and teaching applied mathematics using Captivate for almost 10 years.  If there is no resolution to this issue (that being no equation editor) I will be looking for another authoring software for myself and the team of educators I work with.

If you happen to find another e-learning authoring tool that provides that specific solution, by all means post back here so that others will also be able to benefit.

I haven't personally seen one in the market, but then I don't have clients that with your particular requirement.  So you will probably be more highly motivated to search the market for a solution than I would have been.  For my particular needs Captivate still seems to be the best overall solution out there.

The big advantage of MathMagic was round-tripping. Otherwise, all it did was create a PNG of the equation. One of my team (who hated MathMagic) created all equations in PPT  and exported them as PNG. That works, too!

I am also extremely disappointed, especially having had the same discussion with the Articulate folk.

With a world which is going increasingly online, it does not seem prudent to eliminate MathML and accessibility standards from course development.

Makes one wonder if there was a contract issue.....

Assuming this won't be fixed, I have been making the equations in power point and then copy paste into captivate.

I am disappointed that this ability is gone.
