I have large Captivate 5 projects with 300-450 slides divided into 2 to 4 slide groups. When I publish the SWF file, the publishing process always freezes at 70% and the application crashes (can't hit Cancel in the progress window ).
This is not due to any particular file; many of my large projects run into this problem.
This is probably not due to a particular slide since all the projects freeze at 70% and I can publish each slide group in its own project without any trouble.
The projects are straightforward demonstrations; no quizzing.
Scouring the net I've had trouble finding a resolution to the problem. I use Captivate 5.0.3.631
Hoping for ideas. Thanks for reading

PS.
I've tried:
> In publish dialog "Advanced Options", to enable "force re-publish all the slides"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to disable "Advanced Project Compression"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to disable "Compress SWF File"
> In Preferences > "SWF Size and Quality", to enable "Compress Full Motion Recording SWF file"
> to remove the slide groups and leave the slides ungrouped
> In Publish dialog, to publish as .f4v instead of swf
> to hide all the slides in a slide group in order to reduce the publish SWF to 200 or 250 slides.
None of these have worked.
