Creating projects
The slides are generated and your new project appears in the Adobe Captivate Storyboard view. If any drag-and-
drop actions were recorded and full motion slides created, you will see the full motion slides displayed in Story-
board view with a movie camera icon in the lower-right corner of the slide.
Note: While creating a simulation project using a template, if you select a template created from an earlier version of
Adobe Captivate, Adobe Captivate will not display the thumbnail of the selected template (*.cptl file) in the New
project options dialog box.
Recording other types of projects
Adobe Captivate lets you create blank projects or image-based projects. Also, you can import Microsoft Power-
Point projects into Adobe Captivate and enhance them.
Creating a new blank project
You can create a blank project consisting of one blank frame in a size you specify. This option is useful if you want
to create an empty project and then import images or slides from another project. Set a custom size in the Width
and Height text boxes, or select a commonly used size from the Preset size pop-up menu.

size across the product.
