Adding text captions
To move a text caption:
1 Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2
Select a slide that contains a text caption.
3
Move the mouse over the caption you want to move.
4
When the hand cursor appears, use the left mouse button to drag the text caption to a new location on the slide.
Copying and pasting text captions
You can copy and paste text captions between slides. This is a great time-saver, especially if you need to have the
same text caption on multiple slides.
To copy and paste a text caption:
1 Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2 Select the slide containing the text caption you want to copy.
3
Right-click the text caption and select Copy.
4
Navigate to the slide where you want to paste the caption.
5
Right-click on the slide and select Paste Object.
Tip:You can copy and paste more than one text caption at a time. To select multiple text captions, press Control and
click on the text captions. Then, right-click on one of the selected text captions and choose Copy.
Importing text captions
You can import text captions from a DOC file. First, you export the text captions from your Adobe Captivate
project. Adobe Captivate creates a DOC file that preserves all of the formatting from the text captions. While the
text captions are in DOC format, you can make text and formatting changes in a word processing program. Then
import the text captions back into the Adobe Captivate project using the steps below.
Note:
If you export text captions to a DOC file, that DOC file can only be imported back into the original project.
Importing and exporting text captions to and from a DOC file can be useful in several situations. For example, if
you have many text captions and need to edit the text on all of them, it might be easier and faster to work with the
text in DOC format instead of navigating from slide to slide.
