I am pretty good with the Timeline and I was able to open the library and find the audio. What I need to do is take a small piece from slide two and insert it into slide one. That seems like it should be a no brainer to me, but none of the things I've tried has worked. Following your advice in dragging from the library to the slide over wrote the audio that was already there. Very bad news. Did I miss something?
If that cannot happen, I know there is a way to combine two slides into one. I saw that command when I was looking for something else, Of course, now, I cannot find it. Any help with that?
Captivate does allow you to edit audio files to a limited extent, but you need to make sure you are in the EDIT tab of the Slide Audio dialog, not the Add/Replace tab.
You cannot cut and paste a chunk of audio from one slide to another using this dialog. You can only cut and paste audio from one part of the audio clip to another part of that same clip. In order to combine audio from a separate clip you need to insert the entire clip and then cut out the bits you do not want. Tedious, I agree, but that's the way it is. If you have the Adobe Creative Cloud, use Adobe Audition to edit your clips outside of Captivate.
