You can export 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 captions open as a DOC file. You can make text and formatting changes to the captions while they are in DOC format and then import them back into the Captivate movie.
Note: If you export captions to a DOC file, that DOC file can only be imported back into the original movie. To import captions from one movie into a different movie, see Importing objects.
Exporting captions can be useful in several situations:
If voice-over narration will be recorded and you need to create a script, exported captions can provide the foundation for the script.
If you want to provide printed step-by-step instructions, you can export captions and print the DOC file.
If a movie must be localized, you can export captions into a DOC file and give it to a translator.
Open a Captivate movie.
From the File menu, select Import/Export > Export movie captions.
In the Save As dialog box, enter a filename for the new DOC file.
Note the default directory where the file will be saved. If you want, navigate to a different location in which to save the file.
Click Save.
The captions from the movie are converted into DOC format. A dialog box appears, confirming that the captions were exported to Word and asking if you would like to view the document.
Click Yes.
A new DOC file that contains the caption text opens in Word.
Edit the text.
Import the captions back into the Captivate movie.
