Add blank lines for notes
Select this option to print blank lines with each slide of your
project on the Word document. This option is appropriate if you are using your Word
document as a printed handout and want to supply your users with an area in which they can
take notes. The lines appear under the slide if you select Use tables in the output. If you clear
that option, the blank lines appear to the right of the slide.
Slide notes Select this option to include slide notes in your Word document. These notes are
usually not seen by users (those who view your project), but are an organizational tool for
Adobe Captivate authors.
Include objects (text captions, images, etc.) Select this option to include objects on slides
such as captions, images, click boxes, or highlight boxes.
Include hidden slides Select this option to include any slides you have marked as hidden in
your project. (Hidden slides do not appear when the project is viewed.)
Include Mouse Path Select this option to include any mouse paths that appear on slides.

When you are done, click Publish.
Microsoft Word opens with the new project document. You can make modifications and save
the file as desired.
Note: The DOC file is created using a Microsoft Word template named AdobeCaptivate.dot. This
template contains a header with the date and a footer with page numbers. If you want to change or
remove the information in the header or footer, you can edit the DOT file by opening it in Word. When
you install Adobe Captivate, the AdobeCaptivate.dot template is automatically placed in the program
folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2.
