Publishing to Microsoft Word

Another important publishing option is publishing a Captivate project as a Microsoft Word document. There are four formats available: Handout, Lesson, Step-by-Step guide, and Storyboard.

This publication option requires that both Adobe Captivate and Microsoft Word are installed on the same system. If you do not have Microsoft Word installed on your computer, just read through the steps of this exercise so that you have an idea of the workflow.

Use the following steps to publish your Captivate project as a Microsoft Word file using the Handout template:

  1. Return to the Chapter15/encoderDemo_800.cptx file.
  2. Use the File | Print menu item to open the Print dialog.
  3. In the left column, change the Project Title to encoderDemo_800_handout.
  4. Make sure that the Folder field still points to the Chapter15/publish folder of the exercises.
  5. In the Export Range section, make sure that All is selected. You could publish a smaller selection of slides if needed.

That's it...
