Moving toolbars to a different location
You can dock toolbars on any edge of the program window or you can disconnect a toolbar from
the Adobe Captivate program window and have the toolbar float in its own separate window.
To move a toolbar:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
1.
Click the left or top edge of a toolbar until a four-point arrow appears.
2.
Drag the toolbar to an edge of the program window where it can dock, or to the middle of the
3.
program window where it can float. (If you want, you can always drag toolbars back to their
original locations.)

Using the Filmstrip

Edit view contains the optional Filmstrip, which lets you see all of the slides in a project and work
with them while editing an individual slide in Edit view. Using Edit view and the Filmstrip
together is a fast and productive way to work in Adobe Captivate.
Note: The Filmstrip also appears in the Advanced Interaction dialog box, which is available from the
Project menu in any view.
To view the Filmstrip:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
1.
Double-click any slide to open the slide in Edit view.
2.
The Filmstrip appears.
The Filmstrip displays all of the slides in your project in viewing order. You can change the
slide order by dragging a slide to a new location within the project. (To select multiple
slides, hold down the Shift or Control key when clicking on slides; to select all slides, press
Control+A.)
If a slide has a label (short title) assigned, the label appears under the slide. It can be easier to
move slides and jump to a specific slide if you have assigned labels instead of just using the
slide number.
If a slide has an audio file associated with it, the audio icon appears in the lower right corner
of the slide. You can click the sound icon to show a menu with sound options such a Play,
Import, and Edit.
If a slide is locked, the lock icon appears in the lower right corner of the slide. You can click
the lock icon to unlock the slide.
If a slide contains mouse movement, the mouse icon appears in the lower right corner of the
slide.
By default, the Slides panel shows slides in a medium thumbnail view. You can change the
size of the slides, if necessary, by clicking the View menu, selecting Thumbnail Size, and
then selecting Small, Medium, or Large.
