Captivate and accessibility issues
You can create Captivate content that is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities,
using the accessibility features provided with Captivate. As you design accessible Captivate
movies, consider how your users will interact with the content. Visually impaired users, for
example, might rely on assistive technology, such as screen readers that provide an audio version
of screen content, while hearing-impaired users might read text and captions in the document.
Other considerations arise for users with mobility or cognitive impairments.
Using Captivate with other applications
Captivate is a flexible tool that can be used together with several other software products.
Captivate works especially well with other Macromedia software.

Upgrading RoboDemo and Captivate projects
When opening a Captivate project created with RoboDemo, it is important to note the file
extension. Projects created with RoboDemo versions prior to version 4 use the .ncp or .fcz file
extension. RoboDemo 4 and 5 projects use the .rd or .fcz file extension.Captivate upgrades older
projects as they are opened in Captivate and gives themthe new Captivate file extension .cp.
(Captivate leaves the previous files intact.)
