Exporting an RTF Object Knowledge Object

The Save RTF Object Knowledge Object exports a previously created RTF Object to a new RTF document or a graphic after it has been pre-processed. The RTF object to be exported must have been created using the Create RTF Object Knowledge Object.

To export an RTF object:

  1. Drag the Save RTF Object icon from the Knowledge Objects window to the flowline.

    If you have not previously saved your Authorware file, you are prompted to save it.

    The Save RTF Object: Introduction screen is displayed.

  2. Click Next, or click ID to display the Save RTF Object: ID screen.
  3. Enter the RTF object ID variable name for the RTF object you want to export. This variable must have been created using the Create RTF Object Knowledge Object.
  4. Click Next, or click File Name/Type to display the Save RTF Object: File Name/Type screen.
  5. Enter the name of the file to export.

    To specify a variable, you can put an equal sign at the beginning of the entry--for example, =MyExportFile.

  6. Specify the file type for the file you are exporting.
  7. Click Next, or select Finish to display the Save RTF Object: Finish screen.
  8. When you are ready to implement your choices, click Done.

    When you run your piece, the Save RTF Object Knowledge Object exports your RTF object to the file you specified.

    You must distribute RTFObj.u32 with your piece. The Create RTF Object Knowledge Object copies this file to same location as your piece.

    Note: If you need to change any of the settings, double-click the Save RTF Object icon on the flowline to run the Knowledge Object again.
