I am using Captivate 5 and my slides include audio. "Normally" there are preview controls located on the timeline to the left of the audio track. I have rebooted and attempted to launch several captivate modules and none of them have the preview (play bar) controls located in the Timeline any longer. Any suggestions?

Ok, so now I have undocked the timeline and I see the play controls, but now I can't get the timeline to redock - not even after I log off and back on.

I have searched and cannot find any post on how to re-dock the timeline. I am beyond frustrated at this point....Uggghhhh! Any thoughts?

Hi there

Try clicking the workspace chooser and ensuring Classic is set. Then click it again and choose "Reset Classic".

Does that do it?

Cheers... Rick

Hello,

Did you already try to reset a workspace or change workspace? And did you try to make the Timeline into a floating panel by dragging it out of the bottom dock? For complex slides I often make it floating because you can extend it a lot if you have a high resolution screen.

FYI: play/pause on the timeline can also be activated with the Space key (toggle). Home gets you back to the first frame.But I do not have a proposition to zoom in/out on the timeline.

Hello again

Apologies for failing to notice that you did say that in your first post. My bad. Guess I need more coffee!

If what Lilybiri jumped in and proposed doesn't work...

I suppose the next step would be to clobber the preferences folder. Exactly where it will be depends on your operating system. For me in Windows 7, it's here:

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 5 (or Captivate 5.5)

And in my virtual XP environment, it's here:
