Allow content creators to import .doc or .pdf text to populate a template.
If there were tags that could be placed into a word document that could call for a slide option in a project template, then the program could auto-populate text and images into predetermined slide options. This would allow for a rapid conversion to Captivate files when receiving only text, image and link content from authors.
Many of our authors are accustomed to a particular set of procedures for content development. We need a simple method to take the content provided and convert it to a Captivate project.
If there were <tag>s of some sort that could identify sections of text and their associated images and links to videos or other online content and then populate an appropriate slide template, that would be ideal. Tags could identify other design options as well, for example font style or shape colors or corner radius for buttons. Have a simple library of available tags. Then content creators who do not use Captivate can put in tags that would reduce the amount of time needed for the Captivate content team to fine tune the imported project.
Ideally, they would also be able to tag specific variables and object names as well. Some of our LMS integration is dependent on button object names and custom variables. These variables could mostly be handled by a custom template though, if that were an option, which it absolutely should be. Then it would just be making sure that the doc or pdf had the appropriate tag for the custom slide template with the appropriate custom variable options.
