Hi J
In one sense, this may be possible. Here's the deal. As you
use Captivate to record a demonstration, each snapshot becomes the
Background image of each slide. But you do have the ability to use
something like TechSmith's SnagIt to capture screen grabs manually.
You could then insert each into its own slide.
So if Captivate does this automatically, why would one want
to go the long way?
Precisely for the reasons you outlined. If you aren't sure
about the final result! So here's the deal. You might construct
your Captivate manually and save each screen capture in a specific
folder. Later, when the screens become final or are in need of
updating, you would simply use the screen capture application to
copy the new version and save it to the folder using the same file
names as before. Then, inside Captivate, select all the images (you
might consider creating a specific folder in your Library to keep
them all together) and update them. You update by right-clicking
the selection and choosing Update from the context menu, by
pressing the Ctrl+Alt+D shortcut or by clicking the Library toolbar
icon.
Because these were inserted from a folder on your hard drive,
the update function reads that folder again and copies the new
images in, replacing what was there.
So while it's no "Magic wand", the function should work for
you. Seems to work for me.
