Editing Text Captions - Adobe 65029940 - Captivate - PC Using Manual

The Word document contains the slide ID, item ID, original caption text, and the slide
6.
number. There is also a column named "Updated Text Caption Data" where changes to the
caption text can be made. Provide a copy of the Word document to the localizer/translator.
The localizer/translator should open the Word document and edit the caption text directly in
7.
"Updated Text Caption Data" column in the document, replacing the source language text with
the new text.
While the localizer/translator is translating the text, make a copy of the original Captivate movie
8.
for the new language.
Note: When you create a copy of the original movie, be sure to keep the original text captions (in the
source language) in the new movie. The original text captions act as placeholders and are overwritten
when you import the new (localized) text captions.
When the text captions are localized, open the copy of the project you created in step 8.
9.
From the File menu, select Import/Export > Import Movie Captions.
10.
Navigate to the localized text captions Word (DOC) file, select the file, and click Open.
11.
The new, localized text captions are imported into the movie and all formatting is retained. A
12.
dialog box appears showing a successful import message. Click OK.
Test the new text captions by opening different slides in Edit view and reading the new caption

text.

Editing text captions

After you have created text captions, it is easy to make changes to the caption style or text.
Note: If you are resizing a text caption, you cannot make the text caption smaller than the bitmap
used to create the text caption. For example, the text caption style "Pill" uses bitmaps sized
approximately 18 pixels (wide) x 16 pixels (high), so these bitmaps could not be resized down to 15 x
12 pixels. However, any of the text caption bitmaps can be made larger. If you need very small text
captions, consider creating custom captions.
To edit a text caption:
Open a Captivate movie.
1.
Double-click the slide that contains the text caption you want to edit.
2.
Double-click the text caption to edit.
3.
The Text Caption dialog box appears.
Click the various tabs and make any changes you want. (For details about all of the available
4.
options, click the Help button.)
When you finish, click OK.
5.
Tip: If you have a detailed slide that contains text captions and other objects, you might want to make
the text caption a permanent part of the background.
