Adobe Captivate 7: The Essentials

Text Captions

Text Captions are typically used to explain a concept being shown on screen. You can

have multiple text captions on the same slide, and you can control the way the

caption looks, where the caption appears on the slide and when it appears on the

slide (via the Timeline).

Student Activity: Insert, Resize and Move Text

Captions

1. Open a project.

 using Captivate 7, choose File > Open

 from the Captivate7Data folder, open the CaptionMe project

2. Reset the Classic workspace.

 choose Window > Workspace > Classic

 choose Window > Workspace > Reset Classic

Although you can use any workspace you like as you move through this book,

I have found the reset version of the Classic workspace to be the most reliable

and the easiest to use. Unless otherwise instructed to do so, I suggest that

you use the Classic workspace as you work through the rest of this book.

3. Preview the lesson.

 choose File > Preview > Project

This project is a demonstration that was recorded using Captivate’s

Demonstration mode (see page 40). The lesson demonstrates the process of

creating a new folder on a Windows-based computer. It’s a perfectly fine

demonstration, but there are no Text Captions telling the learner what’s about

to happen or why. During the next several activities, you will learn how to add

Text Captions and to control how they look and when they appear on the slide.

4. Close the Preview.

5. Show Captivate’s Preferences.

 Windows users, choose Edit > Preferences; Mac users, choose Adobe

Captivate > Preferences

6. Restore the timing and style defaults used by inserted objects.

 from the top of the Category list at the left, select Defaults

 from the Object Defaults area, click the Restore All button

Any objects you insert into your Captivate projects (such as Text Captions)

use the default timing and appearance specified by Adobe when Captivate was

first installed on your computer. You will learn how to change the timing and

style used by objects as you move through lessons in this book.

 click the OK button
