Exporting text captions

You can export text captions from an existing Captivate movie into a DOC file if you have
Microsoft Word installed on your computer. All formatting done in Captivate is preserved when
the text captions open as a DOC file. You can make text and formatting changes to the text
captions while they are in DOC format and then import them back into the Captivate movie.
Note: If you export text captions to a DOC file, that DOC file can only be imported back into the
original movie.
Exporting text captions can be useful in several situations:
•
If voice-over narration will be recorded and you need to create a script, exported text captions
can provide the foundation for the script.
•
If you want to provide printed step-by-step instructions, you can export text captions and print
the DOC file.
•
If a movie must be localized, you can export text captions into a DOC file and give it to a
translator.
To export text captions:
Open a Captivate movie.
1.
From the File menu, select Import/Export > Export movie captions.
2.
In the Save As dialog box, enter a filename for the new DOC file.
3.
Note the default directory where the file will be saved. If you want, navigate to a different
4.
location in which to save the file.
Click Save.
5.
The text captions from the movie are converted into DOC format. A dialog box appears,
confirming that the text captions were exported to Word and asking if you would like to view
the document.
Click Yes.
6.
A new DOC file that contains the caption text opens in Word. Make any necessary text
changes in the Updated Text Caption Data column. The slide number is also included as a
reference.
Save the document.
7.
Import the text captions back into the Captivate movie.
