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
3
Right-click the object and select Duplicate.
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.
When objects from a slide are copied into a slidelet, the following properties of the object are modified:
