Adobe Captivate 5: Beyond The Essentials (for Windows & Macintosh) Kevin Siegel

This book has been created as a companion to our Adobe Captivate 5: The Essentials book. The goal of the "Essentials" book was to get you up and running using Adobe Captivate 5 as quickly as possible. If you completed that book, which tips the scales at over 200 pages, you should have an excellent grasp of how to both record and produce eLearning lessons using Adobe Captivate 5. However, there is a ton of information that just didn't fit into that book.

"Adobe Captivate 5: Beyond the Essentials" picks up where the "Essentials" book left off. You will quickly learn Captivate's higher-end functionality while improving your production skills via project templates, object styles, master slides and advanced actions. You will learn to collaborate with team members via Captivate's powerful commenting features and Acrobat.com. You'll enhance the learner's experience via variables that will make it seem like each eLearning lesson you produce has been customized for and is talking directly to your customer.

Using this step-by-step workbook, you will learn about:

• Recording a Custom Simulation

• Editing a Text Capture Template

• Collaborating with MS PowerPoint

• Rescaling Projects

• Creating Custom Object Styles

• Combining Projects
