Publish dialog box - Handouts options

Use this dialog box to create a Microsoft Word document of your movie. This is useful if you need a printed copy of the movie to use as a handout or if you need a hardcopy to distribute to reviewers.

Handout options

Movie Title: Displays the movie title. You can change the movie title, if necessary, by typing a new name directly into the text box. You do not need to include a filename extension (.swf) with the title.

Folder:  Displays the current location where the movie is stored. To change locations, enter the full path for the folder in which to save the file or click Browse to locate the folder.

Export range: Select exactly which slides you want to export to Word. You can export all of the slides, the slide currently displayed in Captivate, a selection on a slide, or a slide range.

Layout options

Slides per page: Click the down arrow to select how many slides you want shown per page. After you select a number, a thumbnail image on the right shows how the slides will be printed on each page.

Caption text: Select this option to print the text of captions underneath the slides on which they appear. For example, if slide 2 of the movie contains a caption, the text of the caption will print below the slide when the movie is converted to Word format.

Add blank lines for notes: Select this option to print four blank lines under each slide of your movie 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.

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 movie), but are an organizational tool for Captivate authors. (For more information, see Creating slide notes.)

Include objects (text captions, images, and so on): Select this option to include objects on slides, such as captions, images, click boxes, or highlight boxes.

Export hidden slides: Select this option to include any slides you have marked as hidden in your movie. (Hidden slides do not appear when the movie is viewed.)

Include Mouse Path: Select this option to include any mouse paths that appear on slides.

Publish: Click to publish the movie to Word. The generated Word document contains each of the slides in the movie.
