Renaming projects

You can rename Adobe Captivate projects (CP files) at any time using Windows Explorer.
When you create Adobe Captivate projects, they are saved, by default, into a folder named My
Adobe Captivate Projects, located in the My Documents folder. (You do have the option,
however, to save projects to any location you want.)
To rename a project:
Open Windows Explorer.
1.
Navigate to the Adobe Captivate project (CP file) that you want to rename.
2.
Right-click the CP file and select Rename.
3.
Type a new name for the project and press ENTER.

Resizing projects

You can resize Adobe Captivate projects, even after you have recorded them. This can be very
useful and can save you from having to re-record an entire project. For example, you may have
recorded your project at a width of 640 and height of 480, but then decided you needed a slightly
smaller or larger size.
Note: Resizing a project cannot be "undone" with a toolbar button or key combination such as
Control+Z.
Note: Resizing a project numerous times can result in quality deterioration. If possible, try to resize a
project only once.
To resize a project:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
1.
From the Project menu, select Resize Project.
2.
Under Size, enter an exact custom size in pixels in Width and Height (minimum size 100 x
3.
100), or enter a percentage for Width and Height with the current size being 100%. (For
example, to make the project slightly bigger, enter 110%; to make the project much smaller,
enter 50%.) Alternatively, you can select the Preset size option and select a commonly used size,
such as 640 x 480, from the pop-up menu.
If you want, select the Maintain aspect ratio option, which maintains the height and width
proportions when the image is resized. This assures that the image is displayed accurately and is
not distorted.
You have different options depending on whether the new size you specified is larger or smaller

than the original size.
The following options are in the If the new size is larger area:
Rescale project to fit new size
you specified. To also rescale any objects in the project, select the Rescale captions, highlight
boxes, and other objects option.
This option resizes the entire project to the new larger size
