Publish dialog box - E-Mail options

Use this dialog box to send a Captivate movie by e-mail. When you click Publish, your default e-mail program opens and a new message is displayed with the Captivate movie attached.   

Note: If your company or organization uses anti-spam software for servers, you might not be able to send EXE or ZIP files by e-mail. Anti-spam software for servers is installed either on the mail server itself or in front of the mail server and is used to identify and filter spam before e-mail messages are sent.

Output options  

Zip files: This option creates a zip file that contains the appropriate files. (A program such as WinZip can be used to open the files.)   

Full screen: This option displays the movie in full screen mode.  

Note: If you select AICC output options and scoring, you cannot select the Full screen option during the export process because AICC output uses framesets.
