Adding animated text

Animated text is text that has applied special effects. Adobe Captivate offers a wide variety of text
animation effects that you can experiment with. For example, on the opening slide of a project
you can have text fly in or fade in for an eye-catching start.
Slides containing animated text are displayed in Adobe Captivate's two views, Storyboard view
and Edit view, and the Filmstrip (an option in Edit view) just like other slides.
