Exporting Text Captions - Adobe 65029940 - Captivate - PC Using Manual

Importing and exporting text captions to and from a DOC file can be useful in several situations.
For example, if you have many text captions and need to edit the text on all of them, it might be
easier and faster to work with the text in DOC format instead of navigating from slide to slide.
To import text captions:
Open the Captivate movie containing text captions.
1.
Export the text captions.
2.
Make the necessary changes while the text captions are in DOC format (in the Updated Text
3.
Caption Data column), and save the DOC file.
From the Captivate File menu, select Import/Export > Import movie captions.
4.
Select the DOC file that contains the exported text captions.
5.
Click Open.
6.
An Information dialog box appears, confirming that the import was successful. Click OK.

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.
