Publishing projects

Note:

If you select AICC or SCORM options for the project, the full screen publishing option cannot be applied.

Generate autorun for CD

This option ensures that the output file runs automatically when the EXE file is placed

on a CD. An autorun.inf file is generated in the publish directory.

Flash Player Version

Adobe Captivate generates the SWF file in the Flash version that you choose.

The Project information area displays useful statistics about the project including the size (resolution), number

of slides, audio information, eLearning details, accessibility compliance, and the playback control assigned to the

project. To change any of the options listed in this area, click the blue text. To change preferences, click the Prefer-

ences button.

When you are finished, click Publish.
