Create the project in Adobe Captivate.
2
Publish the project as a Flash (SWF) file.
3 Note the location of the saved SWF file.
4 Open the PowerPoint presentation to which you want to add the Adobe Captivate project.
5
From the View menu, select Toolbars > Control Toolbox.
6
Select More Controls.

From the list of objects, select Shockwave Flash Object.

Drag diagonally to create a box that is the size and location for the project.
Tip:You can resize the box in which the project appears. Return to the slide that contains the project in PowerPoint,
and drag the resizing handles.

In the PowerPoint Properties dialog (opened in step 8), set the following properties:
•
Set the Playing property to True. This plays the file automatically when the slide is displayed. If the Flash (SWF)
file has a Start/Rewind control built into it, you can set the Playing setting to False.
•
If you don't want the animation to play repeatedly, set the Loop property to False (click the cell to display a down
arrow; then click the arrow and select False).
