Hi,
I'm recording a project of Openoffice and I've observed that the captions doesn't create automatically. Does someone know if it's possible to obtain the captions without doing it manually?
Thanks.

Hi there
If you record Windows Notepad do you get captions? If so, it means that Captivate simply isn't understanding Open Office. I'm unaware of any way past that if that's the case. You will likely end up adding the captions after the fact.

If I record Notepad, the captions generates automatically, but for example, Openoffice Writer doesn't.

Hi there
There's your answer. Captivate is working fine as it records the captions in Notepad. But apparently OpenOffice hasn't been programmed where Captivate understands what to do with things. I'm not a programmer, but I'm guessing it may be that there is a "Microsoft approved" method of building applictions and perhaps Captivate has been programmed to understand things that have been programmed that way. Because OpenOffice has been created to offer an alternative, it may not have been programmed to use the "Microsoft approved" way of doing things.
Again, that's just a guess.
Cheers... Rick

Hi C4_,
Download and install JAVA access bridge from here.
Place the exe in you captivate installation folder. Now try recording on open office.
Do confirm whether now you getting your captions?

Hi,
I have installed all and I have verified that all was correct, but when I record my project, it only generates a few captions (before installing nothing, Captivate generates the same captions when I recorded a project).
Thanks so much.
