Note: If you create a transparent caption, avoid underlining text. In order to display underlining in
transparent captions properly, we must use a font display method that may decrease text quality.
Tip: After adding the transparent text caption, you may want to merge the caption with the slide
background.

Adding text captions automatically

When you record movies, or additional slides for movies, Captivate can automatically create text
captions based upon the action recorded. For example, if you record the action of selecting the
File menu, Captivate can automatically add a text caption that reads "Select File menu" on the
same slide.
Actions that generate text captions include the following: selecting menus and menu items,
pressing buttons, changing values in locations such as lists, combo boxes, or check boxes, and
opening child windows.
To add text captions automatically when recording a new movie:
