User Guide
5 If you have two objects that overlap on the slide, you need to select the object you want to appear in front by
setting the stacking order. Changing the stacking order consists of moving objects to the back and front of the slide
“stage.” The key point to remember is that objects at the back of the stage appear behind other objects. Use one of
the following methods to set the stacking order.
•
In Edit view, right-click an object on the slide and select one of the object order options. If necessary, right-click
other objects on the slide and adjust their order.
•
In Edit view, on the Timeline, move the mouse over an object until the hand appears and drag the object up or
down to change its position in the stacking order. Moving an object higher in the stacking order moves it to the
front of the stage, while moving an object lower moves it to the back of the stage.
Note: If the order for a slidelet is changed, the objects it contains are also moved back or forward along with the
slidelet.
Changing the size of multiple objects
If you have multiple objects on a slide, such as several captions, a highlight box, and a click box, you can change
the size of all the objects at one time. The objects can be sized to an exact measurement or relative to one another.
To change the size of multiple objects:
1
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2 Open a slide that contains more than one object, such as two captions. You can also open a slide and add more
than one object to the slide.
3 Select the objects by holding down the Shift key and clicking the individual objects.
4 Select Edit > Size, or right-click one of the selected objects and select Size.
Note:
This option is not available if one of the selected objects is a rollover slidelet.
5 Select the width and height you want.
In the Width area, you see the following options:
No change
Select this option to keep the width of the selected objects the same.
Shrink to smallest
Select this option to change the width of all selected objects to the width of the smallest
object.
Grow to largest
Select this option to change the width of all selected objects to the width of the largest object.
