Images used in ppt get lost when inserting them into captivate project

[bugbiteme]

I've been seeing this issue in both Captivate 3 and 4.

Basically, I have successfully recorded a software demonstration, and wanted to add some powerpoint slides to the project. These slides include some diagrams containing graphics.  When I go to insert the slides into the project, the preview shows that some of the graphics are gone, and when I complete the operation, this is confirmed. Many of the graphics in my slides are now missing after the insert/import. I created the slides with office 2007, but saved them in 97/2003 format.

This is frustrating to say the least, since these slides are an integral part of the demo I am trying to create.

Any ideas on how to get this working?

Hi there

Sometimes we see that when you choose to import from PowerPoint it doesn't go so well and you don't end up with what you expect. One possible workaround involves launching PowerPoint and simply recording the desired slides using Captivate. Either that or simply grab screen captures of the slides as you wish to see them in Captivate.
