Last updated 9/28/2011
Note: The Lesson, Storyboard, and Step By Step templates are stored in the Gallery (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe
Captivate 4\Gallery\PrintOutPut on Windows or /Applications/Adobe Captivate 5/Gallery/PrintOutput on Mac
OS). When Adobe Captivate is first launched, these templates are copied to the user profile (for example,
C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\My Documents\My Adobe Captivate Projects\Templates\PrintOutput).
Publish projects as storyboards
You can publish Adobe Captivate projects as storyboards in Microsoft Word format. The project is published as a
Word document that includes a summary of project properties and a detailed view of each slide. Project properties
include the number of slides used, score setting details, length of the slides, and so on. The detailed view of each slide
has a summary of slide properties.
If the project has a quiz and you choose Storyboard output, the answers are shown next to the question. There is no
answer key.

Learning management system (LMS)
You can use a learning management system (LMS) to distribute a computer-based tutorial created using Adobe
Captivate over the Internet. A learning management system is used to provide, track, and manage web-based training.
The project that you upload to the LMS must be compliant with the SCORM/AICC standards. When you publish a
project after setting the required SCORM/AICC options, Adobe Captivate creates the necessary files required for
compliance to these standards. You can directly upload the published package to an LMS.
