"Storyboard" in Lectora?
March 26, 2008 12:00 AM
Good idea.Right now I am using a 3 stage approach to storyboard my own material for the conference. Neither Lectora nor PowerPoint are very friendly at organizing matierial. I am talking now about the very beginnings, gathering data, organizing, structuring, chunking. Here I find Word much better. I can use the heading styles in Word and its outline feature to collect and organize my data. Then I create a PPT file with the right size title and body (like Arial 14 and Arial 10) and roughly in the right place. Then I import into PPT using Insert menu > Slides from Outline so I can use the Integrator and move into Lectora. The Integrator moves in the text and also creates page names. Using this approach, only one level of an outline goes converts - the rest are just text. I have had some trouble getting it to work smoothly but still saves time. I sometimes have to take all the text, paste unformatted into a new Word doc and reapply Heading 1 style using keystrokes.
