CHAPTER 14

Creating a menu of Adobe Captivate projects

Printing projects in MenuBuilder

You can print a MenuBuilder project at any time. Printing a MenuBuilder project can be useful if you need others 
to review the contents or if you need to create handouts.

To print a project:

1

Open the MenuBuilder project to print.

2

Select File > Print.

3

Make any adjustments you want, and click OK.

Saving MenuBuilder projects

It is a good idea to save your work periodically as you create projects in MenuBuilder. This can protect your work 
in case of a system failure. The first time you save a project, the Save As dialog box appears so you can assign the 
project a name.

To save a project:

1

Open the MenuBuilder project to save. 

2

Select File > Save.

Saving MenuBuilder projects as templates

You can save an existing MenuBuilder project as a template for use on further projects. MenuBuilder templates 
use the .mgt file extension.

To save a project as a template:

1

Open the MenuBuilder project to save as a template. 

2

Select File > Save as Template.

The Save As dialog box appears.

3

In the File name text box, enter a name for the template.

You can save the template to any location. However, the MenuBuilder wizard displays only templates stored in the 
specified Templates directory. You can change this directory if you want. 

4

Click Save.
