Two questions:
– I’ve downloaded the trial version, but I don’t have any themes. Is there a place where I can download them?
– As every major program of the eLearning suite has been updated, when will eLearningSuite 3 be released? (as soon as this is the case I will order this suite)

Glad you are trying out #AdobeCaptivate 6! On launch, go to ‘create new’> ‘blank project’ and you should see the themes panel appear above the stage. You could also show/hide the themes panel using the ‘Themes’ button on the main menu.
The next version of eLearning Suite will be out soon. Please email me and I can provide more details: shameer at adobe dot com

The problem was that the themes are installed in the ‘my documents folder’. At my work, the my documents folder is on the server, and limited to 100mb. So I didn’t have enough space for the themes. I installed a test version on my personal computer too, and there I could find the themes.

Solved the problem I descriped below.
After deleting the Layouts-Folder and re-install Captivate suddenly all themes appears. Strange 😉

I’ve just downloaded v6 and am also very excited because after only 1 hour, my organization is convinced we will upgrade from 5.5 to this. In ONLY one hour, I have already supassed Articulate Storyline features (the in CP they all even work – unlike 80% of the Storyline features).

My favs: 360 degree editing with PowerPoint (not obvious, but right click over a slide thumbnail and look at the menu bottom 🙂 YES YES YES!!!
Update the PPTX and it will update the CP6 Project YES YES YES!!!
Page Template are really well done.
Another thing… CP5 and 5.5 Widgets stil work YES YES YES!!!

Glad you liked #AdobeCaptivate 6 and are getting the upgrade! Yes, the fidelity of PowerPoint to SWF conversions was one of the biggest features we delivered -though it goes unnoticed- which probably is a good thing 🙂
