Importing PowerPoint slides
Adobe Captivate lets you import slides from Microsoft PowerPoint presentations directly into
Adobe Captivate projects. Imported PowerPoint slides become slides in Adobe Captivate projects.
You can do anything that you would ordinarily do in Adobe Captivate to these slides. For
example, you can add captions and create click boxes.
Adobe Captivate provides a wizard for importing PowerPoint slides.
To import PowerPoint slides into an Adobe Captivate project:
Open the Adobe Captivate project to which you want to add PowerPoint slides.
1.
From the File menu, select Import/Export > Import Microsoft PowerPoint Slides.
2.
The Open dialog box appears.
Browse to the location of the PowerPoint presentation (PPT, PPS, or POT file format) that
3.
contains the slide or slides to import, and select the presentation.
Click Open.
4.
The PowerPoint slide options dialog box appears.
Decide where the imported PowerPoint slides should be placed in the Adobe Captivate project.
5.
You can add the slides to the end of the project, or you can click a slide in the list and add the
PowerPoint slides after the designated slide.
Click OK.
6.
The PowerPoint slides are extracted, and the Insert Slides dialog box appears.
Select the PowerPoint slides to convert to Adobe Captivate project slides. Select individual slides
7.
by clicking the check box in the upper-right corner of slides (so a green check mark appears in
the check box). You can also click the Select All button to select all slides.
Click OK.
8.
The PowerPoint slides are imported into the Adobe Captivate project and appear in the
designated location.
If necessary, you can change slide order.
9.
Importing PowerPoint presentations
You can import entire Microsoft PowerPoint presentations directly into Adobe Captivate. When
you import a PowerPoint presentation, a new Adobe Captivate project is created and the
individual PowerPoint slides become Adobe Captivate slides. Once the new project is created, you
can perform all usual Adobe Captivate tasks; you do not need to work in PowerPoint any further.
Note: You can also import selected PowerPoint slides into existing Adobe Captivate projects.
Adobe Captivate provides a wizard for importing projects.
To import a PowerPoint presentation:
Open Adobe Captivate.
1.
Under Other project types, click Import from Microsoft PowerPoint and click OK.
