Copying and pasting objects from other projects
You can copy and paste objects from other projects. This can save you a great deal of time. For
example, if you have created a particularly detailed object in another project, simply copy and
paste the object into any new projects you create.
Note: If you want to reuse media objects from another Adobe Captivate 2 project, you can open that
project’s Library from within your current project Library and drag objects directly onto a slide or into
the current project Library for easy reuse.
