PowerPoint slide will not import

I have created a title page for a dozen or so Captivate 2
projects in Powerpoint. I create the page, import, and then move to
the 1st slide.



Suddenly it doesn't work. When I import the PowerPoint into
Captivate, then I can select the file from the list. Then the
system ''thinks'' for about 10 minutes and comes up with a screen for
me to select a PowerPoint slide from. There are 3000+ slides listed
but they are all blank. The slide that has my title page is nowhere
to be seen.



I can reopen the Powerpoing file fine. I have tried opening
some of the other PowwerPoint files that I used before and I have
the same problems.



Any suggestions?PowerPoint slide will not import
Did you perhaps upgrade to PowerPoint 2007? Just a
thought.PowerPoint slide will not import
No, I haven't upgraded anything. It has been a couple of
months since my last project so Microsoft Update may have patched
PowerPoint. However, even when I try an older, saved, page that
worked before then I get the same problem. It seems to be within
Captivate.
ksspring,



Are you using a blank one slide Captivate project as the
import's destination? If not, could the destination Captivate
project be misbehaving?



If you email docedoc(atsign)skillsinc(dot)biz a .ppt that
doesn't import, I'll try it and let you know. Might give you some
insight.

I am experiencing the exact same problem whenever I try to
import my ppt slides.
I have tried the following with no success:

- add more slides to the Captivate project and then import

- delete Captivate project and try with new project

- import multi-slide .ppt

- import older slides that worked before

- uninstall and reinstall Captivate

I needed to get the project done, so I used a capture program
to copy the Powerpoint slide to a .jpg and then I imported the
image into Captivate. Not perfect, but I got the flash demo out the
door.



I've given up on troubleshooting. January starts a new year
and my boss has agreed to pay for the upgrade to 3.0.
ksspring--our IT folks came and had to reinstall Flash from
BOTH Firefox and IE--the problem is solved now.
