Links in question slides

I was able to make the changes Roxanne and I discussed yesterday without any problems with one exception - I have not yet fixed the links on question slides in the scholarly vs. popular and research vs. review modules. Just to remind you, I couldn't put links directly into question slides (Captivate doesn't let you), so these links were actually published animations from separate Captivate files. Basically, for each link, I have a separate small Captivate file that just consists of one slide with one small, transparent button on it - when you click the button it takes you to the appropriate URL. So I went back to each of these files and changed them so that when you click on the button it takes you to the appropriate URL in a new window. The first time I made the change, I previewed the project to confirm that it did open up the link in a new window. I published each project after I made the change (I had already deleted the previous published version so that I wouldn't be confused by having 2 different versions in my files.) So then I went back to each question slide with a link, deleted the existing animation that served as a link and imported the new published file as an animation. When I then previewed the whole project, these links still came up in the same browser window! I talked to Matt about this and he said that the browser settings wouldn't have been imported with the animation. His suggestion about how to work around this problem was to create slides that look like question slides but aren't (we wouldn't be able to have the responses to these questions sent to Roxanne in any way) - I'll give this a try tomorrow.

In the meantime, as I was putting the other modules together, I went back to each Camtasia recording and read through the script while watching it, cutting short segments and adding frames as necessary. I also moved the powerpoint slides directly to Captivate so that only the full-motion screen-capture portions are still in Camtasia. This means that it will be easier to edit the timing for each slide (making it longer or shorter) from within Captivate instead of having to edit it in Camtasia, publish it, and reimport it into Captivate any time there needs to be a change. I think it also improved the clarity of these slides.
