Adding and managing objects
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 interactivity of the object, making it an
image of the object.
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 an Adobe Captivate project.
1
Double-click the slide that contains the object you want to merge.
2
3
Right-click the object that you want to merge into the slide for example, an image, caption, or click box.
4
Select Merge into Background from the pop-up menu.
A warning appears, stating that merging cannot be "undone" and asking you to confirm the merge. Click Yes.
5
The object is merged into the slide.
Note: Merging objects in a slidelet into the background will merge the object into the slidelet background.
Managing interactive objects
In the Advanced Interaction dialog box, you can view and edit all interactive objects in your project. The
Advanced Interaction dialog box opens in a separate window. When you're done reviewing and changing the
interactive object properties, click Close.
Note: The dialog box contains a lot of information; to make reviewing the project information easier, you can print
the dialog box by clicking Print at the bottom of the dialog box.
To view and edit object information in the Advanced Interaction dialog box:
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
1
Select Project > Advanced Interaction, or press F9.
