Creating projects with a template
You can use Adobe Captivate templates to create a new project. Templates are other projects that you have created
and saved as a template with the .cptl file extension. Because templates can be used many times, they save you time
and help you maintain consistency.
When you open a template, the Adobe Captivate recording window appears so you can record new slides and add
them to the end of the template or within the template. When you are finished you can save the new project as a
new project, new template, or both.
Note: Templates are particularly effective if you have specific project preferences you want to use repeatedly. Simply
create a blank project, set the preferences, save it as a template, and create a new project with the template by following
these steps.
To use a template to create a new project:
1 Open Adobe Captivate.
2 On the Start page, under Other project types, select Create project from template.
The Open dialog box appears, showing the contents of the Adobe Captivate Templates folder (My Documents\My
Adobe Captivate Projects\Templates in Windows versions other than Windows Vista, \Documents\My Adobe
Captivate Projects\Templates in Windows Vista).
3 Select the template you want to use and click Open. If the template you want to use is not listed, click Browse
to navigate to the template. (Adobe Captivate templates have the file extension .cptl.)
The Template Options dialog box appears.
4 Select the option to add new slides to the end of the project or after a selected slide, and click OK.
The Recording window appears.
