Hi Leigh,

Yes, you can export the Text Caption and Closed Captions -- File -- Export -- Text and Closed Captions.

For the Audio, go to Library and Export the Audio from libbrary and you can into your new presentation and Import this Library and Simply Drag and Drop Library Audio to put it on a specific Slide.

Similarly, you han import the exported captions.

Thanks,

You can export audio files from a Captivate project, as either MP3 or WAV or both, and then reimport them into another project.

You can export Closed Caption Text and Caption text from a Captivate project as a specially formatted MS Word document.  But this is really just for the purposes of translating the CC text and captions into another language so that you can then reimport the same document back into the original Captivate file to localise the content for the second language.  You won't be able to import this same document into any other Captivate project because all of the object IDs need to match the original file otherwise Captivate will not be able to see what to do with them on import.

You can export an entire Capitvate project file as XML, in which will be buried your CC text and captions.  But this is not going to be much use to you if you were hoping to find an easy way of tranferring the text to a new file. 

If all you want is to have the same audio and CC text in a different project file, it would be much easier just to copy/paste slides from one project to the other.

There is no other way to keep the audio and it's related CC text together.

Hi Leigh,

An alternative for exporting, importing the audio is to open the Library of the first project as an External Library. Whenever you drag some audio to your new project it will become part of its Library as well.

I'm using the export/import Word feature a lot because I have to localize several tutorials. But apparently you only want to re-use part of the captions (only the CC). Even then, isn't a document with the text easier to copy/paste then having to retype everything?

There is also an export/import to XML functionality.
