the project is viewed.

monitors.
Adding plain text to a slide
As you edit a project, you may want to add some text to the slide, but not have the text appear as a text caption

text caption.

1
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2
Select the slide to which you want to add a transparent text caption.
3
Select Insert > Text Caption.
4
The Caption Properties dialog box appears.
5 In Caption type, select [transparent].

fication. You can also align text, format it, and insert symbols, using the various options.
