@Connie: You’re right, PowerPoint by itself doesn’t output to .swf. The assumption is that you’re building rapid elearning courses with a PowerPoint to Flash application like Articulate Presenter. That’s why I started with “a quick review of what’s happening when you build rapid elearning courses with PowerPoint.”

BTW, PowerPoint 2010 will allow you to publish your slides to a single video. It works well but you lose the interactivity.

Within Powerpoint, when I ‘publish’ a presentation, it does not convert the presentation to a .swf file. In your sixth paragraph of this blog, you indicate that it does convert it to .swf. I’m missing something; you’re using articulate to convert it to .swf, right? Powerpoint alone doesn’t do that…correct? Thanks!

@Rachel: to learn about Macros in PowerPoint, I'd connect with one of the PowerPoint MVPs. They should be able to point you in the right direction.

HI,
Here’s a tip I just discovered. It is probably obvious to many, but it wasn’t to me. If you increase/decrease the size of a rounded rectangle, you will change the radius of the corners. You can adjust the radius of the corners by moving the small yellow diamond that appears on the upper left-hand side.

I looked at the CPR e-learning course, and really love it! I’m curious how they put the movie in the navigation bar, instead of the presenter info? Like they did on Slide 3?
