Adobe Captivate and Microsoft PowerPoint
If you use both Adobe Captivate and PowerPoint, there are many ways you can single-source content between the
two programs. Here are some options:
•
Import a PowerPoint presentation into Adobe Captivate. Create an entire Adobe Captivate project from a
complete PowerPoint presentation.
•
Import PowerPoint slides into Adobe Captivate. Import individual PowerPoint slides into an Adobe Captivate
project to create new individual Adobe Captivate slides.
•
Add an Adobe Captivate project to a presentation. Insert Adobe Captivate projects into PowerPoint presenta-
tions.
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.
