Adobe Captivate 7: Beyond the Essentials

Data Files (Captivate Project Assets)

You’re probably chomping at the bit, ready to dive into Captivate and begin creating

eLearning lessons. Not so fast. Do you have sample projects to work with? What

about graphics? Do you have some audio files to use as voiceovers? No? No worries.

I’ve got everything you need—I call them data files—and they can be downloaded

from the Iconlogic website for free.

Windows users: Work through the following activity. (Mac users, skip this activity

and go to page xi.)

Student Activity: Download the Windows Data Files

1. Download the student data files necessary to use this book.

 start a web browser and visit the following web address:

http://www.iconlogic.com/pc

 click the Captivate 7: Beyond the Essentials link

On most web browsers, a dialog box appears asking if you want to Save, Run or

Open the file. The goal is to save the file to your computer. It doesn’t matter

where you save the file, provided you can find it in a moment to execute it.

2. Save the file to your computer. After the file downloads, close the web browser.

3. Extract the data files.

 find the Captivate7BeyondData file you just downloaded to your computer

 double-click the file to execute it (even though the file is an EXE file, it’s not a

program; rather it’s an archive containing zipped data files)

 confirm C:\ appears in the Unzip to Folder area (you can Browse and

change the Unzip to folder location if you are unable to install the files on

your C drive)

 click the Unzip button (You will be notified that more than 100 files were

unzipped.)

 click the OK button and then click the Close button

The data files have been installed on your hard drive (within a folder named

Captivate7BeyondData). Before starting the lessons in this book, it’s a good

idea to review “How Software Updates Affect This Book” on page xii.
