Hello,
Unless I'm going mad, I can't see a way of altering the TOC text at the top of the block where it states: 'Slide Title'.. Is this possible? Please see screenshot to see the text I refer to. Thanks.
@wodehouse Great question that I'd love the answer to, as well. On a related note, how were you able to remove the duration and status columns/fields from the TOC? I'm looking to do that for a project I'm working on to free up character space for Topic Titles.
TIA!
Actually, it is possible to change that text. Create a simple text file named TOCStrings.ini and place it in the Captivate install folder (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4 for Captivate 4 or C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5 for Captivate 5.) I used Windows Notepad to create the file. In the text file, add text like the following:
[TOCStrings] SlideTitle=Slide Duration=Length Status=Visited ClearToolTip=Erase Check Mark This will not effect any Captivate projects you have already created, but for any new projects, the text strings will be replaced. If you don't want slide duration to show at all, in the Skin Editor, TOC tab, click the Settings button and click the checkbox to deselect Show Duration. I hope this helps. Mister C. (I just tried this in Captivate 5 and the changes do effect existing projects. In Captivate 4 it only effects new projects.)

Mister C,
Is there additional documentation on customizations to the TOC or Skin Editor like this somewhere? This would seem ilke fairly deep knowledge but wondering if I can read up on it somewhere.
TIA,
Jay
Hello,
About the ini-file there was a posting in the Captivate blog for CP4 somewhere.

Hi Jay. Unfortunately, there really isn't any other documentation. My other sources are generally these forums, plus the Adobe Captivate Blog. As a matter of fact, the solution I posted here came from the Captivate Blog at http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/02/changing_default_captions_in_t.html. If you use the Adobe Community Help feature, you can search through both Adobe reference materials and online sources like the blog.
Hope this helps.

Clearing the checkmark for "Duration" removes the times for each slide but leaves the duration at the bottom of the TOC. Is there another way to get rid of the duration entirely? The CPT module proceeds with learner mouse clicks so the duration is superfluous.
Thanks.
