Displaying and docking toolbars
Adobe Captivate contains many toolbars that provide easy access to commonly used features. You
have a great deal of flexibility in selecting which toolbars are displayed and where they are located
in the Adobe Captivate program window.
Enabling and disabling docking of toolbars
This option lets you select toolbars, drag them within the program window, and place (“dock”)
them in new locations. The option is enabled by default, but you can disable it at any time.
To enable and disable docking of toolbars:
1.
From the Options menu, select Preferences.
2.
Select or clear the Enable docking option.
Showing and hiding toolbars
By default, the main, object, and alignment toolbars appear.
To show or hide a toolbar:
1.
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2.
From the View menu, select or clear Main Toolbar, Advanced Toolbar, Object Toolbar, or
Alignment Toolbar. Note that these menu items are available in Edit view only.
Showing or hiding captions on the main toolbar
Captions are text that appear next to the icons on the main toolbar. The main toolbar is
displayed, by default, along the top of the program window, just below the menu bar.
To show or hide captions on the main toolbar:
1.
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2.
From the View menu, select or clear Captions on Toolbar.
Restoring default settings for text captions
If you made changes to the appearance of text captions, you can restore all text caption settings to
their defaults. (For example, you change the font for text captions to Times New Roman and the
font color to green. Click Restore to default to change the font back to the default font Arial and
the color to the default blue.)
To restore default settings for text captions:
1.
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2.
From the Options menu, select Preferences.
3.
Click Restore to default.
