Copy, paste, and duplicate objects
After you have created an object, 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.
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 objects are modified:
• If timing for the object is specified as Rest Of Slide or Rest Of Project, it is changed to Rest Of Slidelet.
• The option Synchronize With Project loses its validity for FLV files.
Copy an object to a different slide
1 Open the slide that contains the object.
2 Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the object and select Copy.
3 Open the slide to which you want to copy the object.
4 Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the slide and select Paste.
Copy an object to multiple slides
1 Open the slide that contains the object.
2 Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the object and select Copy.
3 In the Filmstrip, select the slides to which you want to copy the object. Hold down the Shift key and click
consecutive slides, or hold down the Control key and select any slides, even if they are not consecutive.
4 Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a selected slide and select Paste.
Copy objects from other projects
You can copy and paste objects from other projects. This strategy can save you a great deal of time. For example,
suppose you have created a detailed object in another project. Simply copy and paste the object into any new projects
you create.
Note: To reuse media objects from another Adobe Captivate project, open that project Library from within your current
project Library. Then drag objects directly onto a slide or into the current project Library for easy reuse.
1 Open the Adobe Captivate project that contains the object you want to copy.
2 Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the object, and select Copy.
