Slides
Adding plain text to a slide
As you edit a project, you may want to add some text to the slide, but not have the text appear as a text caption
over the slide. There is an easy trick you can use to add plain text to a slide: simply add the text as a transparent
text caption.
To create a transparent text caption:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
1
In Storyboard view, double-click the slide to which you want to add a transparent text caption.
2
Select Insert > Text Caption.
3
The New Text Caption dialog box appears.
In Caption type, click the pop-up menu and select [transparent].
4
5 Change other text caption options as necessary.
Click the pop-up menu to select a font for the text caption.
Font
Click the pop-up menu to select a font size for the caption text.
Size
Click the color box to select a font color for the caption text.
Color
Click the highlight box icon and choose a color for the text highlight from the color pop-up menu.
Highlight
(There is only one text caption style for a transparent caption because only text is displayed.)
Caption style
Click the symbol icon to insert a symbol into the text.
Symbol
If you want, set the additional display options such as bold, italic, underline, and justification.

Apply to all
Select this option to apply the changes you made in this dialog box to all text captions in the project. Properties
applied to all text captions are caption style, font type, font size, font color, and transition. Text and text properties
(bold, center, and so on), and display time are not applied to all text captions, but remain as set for each individual
text caption.
Click OK.
6
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.
Enter the caption text exactly as you want it to appear.
