Duplicating objects

You can duplicate objects while in Edit view. Duplicating objects is an easy way to reuse content.
For example, you can duplicate a particularly detailed caption and change some of the text to
quickly add more information to your project.
Note: To reuse media objects that appear in the Library, simply drag the object from the Library onto
the slide.
To duplicate an object:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
1.
Double-click on the slide that contains the object you want to duplicate.
2.
Right-click the object and select Duplicate.
3.
The object you selected is duplicated and the new object is placed on the slide.You can edit and
work with the new object just like the original object.

Copying and pasting objects

Once you have created an object such as a caption, highlight box, or click box, you can copy that
object and paste it onto the same slide, a different slide in your project, or several slides in your
project at the same time. This can save you a great deal of time, especially if you create intricate
objects with specific sizes, colors, and formatting.
Tip: You can also copy and paste objects between different projects.
Note: To reuse media objects that appear in the Library, simply drag the object from the Library onto
the slide.
