Merging objects into a slide
Any object that you create and place on a slide such as an image, caption, click box, highlight box,
text entry box, or button can be merged into the slide. Merging permanently removes the object
as an object and makes the object part of the slide.
The merging feature can be useful in several different situations. For example, if you import a
large image into a slide that contains other objects, you can merge the image into the slide so that
it can serve as a static background for the other objects. You can make text a permanent part of a
slide by creating a transparent text caption and then merging the caption.
To merge an object into a slide:
Open a Captivate movie.
1.
Double-click on the slide that contains the object you want to merge.
2.
Right-click the object that you want to merge into the slide for example, an image, caption, or
3.
click box.

merge. Click Yes.
The object is merged into the slide.
Changing slide order
It is easy to change the order of slides after you have recorded a movie. You can change the slide
order in Storyboard view or Edit view (with the Filmstrip).
Tip: Sometimes it is easier to move slides and keep track of them if you have assigned slide labels.
These are short titles for each slide that enable you to identify the slide more specifically than you can
just by a number.
To change slide order in Storyboard view:
Open a Captivate movie.
1.
Click the slide you want to move and hold the left mouse button down.
2.
Drag the slide to a new location and release the mouse button.
