In captivate 8 I had to retype every slide 3 times because I chose a responsive project. Death by slide!

Why: Because I wanted people using tablets and phones to be able to read the content.

I gave up because: Well i have a responsive website. I don't have 3 size versions of my website for desk, tablet and phone.

I want some content on my slides and then sending it to moodle.

Is version 9 the same? Do I need to resize/re type each slide 3 times.

Should I do it as a power point and just import in one size?

Never use PPT! If seeing exactly the same on a phone, a tablet or a desktop publish for HTML and turn on 'scalable'. Be aware that buttons to click/tap on will have to be much bigger if you want this to be user-friendly for phones. For a passive video, you could perhaps better use the Video creator.

In captivate 9 can I create a normal (non responsive project) and people can later view it ok on their smart phones?

I just select 'scalable"

If I choose a responsive project in Captivate 9 and enter type on the desktop page, do I have to re arrange the tablet and phone layout like i did in 8??

Yes. Except that there are now 5 viewport sizes instead of three.

No. Captivate 9 now has 5 viewport sizes. So you can build the same slide 5 times instead of 3.

I would NEVER suggest building Captivate elearning in PowerPoint if your intention is to publish for HTML5.
