Slides
For example, suppose your project is nearly done when you discover that one slide, a screenshot of a web browser,
contains an address line showing an internal company server address. To quickly solve the problem, copy the slide
to the clipboard, open the slide in Fireworks, "erase" the information in the address field by painting over it with
the color white, save the slide as an image (e.g., JPEG), and then from Adobe Captivate, paste the image back into
the project. When you edit slides in this way, you don't need to re-record.
To copy a slide to the clipboard:
Open an Adobe Captivate project in Edit view.
1
2 Select an image on the slide that you want to copy as a bitmap.
3 Select Edit > Copy to Clipboard as Bitmap.
Open a graphics editing program and paste the slide into the program by pressing Ctrl+V.
4
Make any desired changes to the slide.
5
Copy the image in the graphics program by pressing Ctrl+C so the image is saved to the clipboard.
6
Select Edit > Paste as Image.
7
The new, updated slide (as an image) is placed in the project. If the original slide contained objects such as
captions or highlight boxes, they appear on the new slide.
Tip:In Adobe Captivate, you can edit background images directly from the Library. To edit a background image, in
the Library, right click the image you want to edit, and select Edit with mspaint or Edit with to use a different image-
editing application.
Changing slide order
It is easy to change the order of slides after you have recorded a project. You can change the slide order in Story-
board 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:
1 Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2 Click the slide you want to move and hold the left mouse button down.
Drag the slide to a new location and release the mouse button.
