The rollover caption and the rollover area are added to the slide. The rollover area defines
where the mouse needs to be for the caption to appear.
Changing the rollover area
Rollover captions and rollover images consist of a caption or image and a rollover area (the "hot"
area). The rollover area defines where the mouse needs to be for the caption or image to appear.
To edit the rollover area:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
1.
In Storyboard view, select the slide containing the rollover caption or image.
2.
To change the size of the rollover area, click one of the handles and drag.
■
To move the rollover area to another location, move the mouse over the rollover area until
■
the hand cursor appears. Drag the box to the desired location.
To modify the rollover area attributes, double-click inside the rollover area box and use the
■
Rollover Area dialog box to make changes.
Converting tooltips to rollover captions
When you record a new project or record additional slides for an existing project, you can set a
recording option that requires Adobe Captivate to convert tooltips to rollover captions. When
this option is selected, Adobe Captivate creates a rollover caption for every tooltip that is selected
during the recording process.
