Chapter 7: Noninteractive Objects and

Media

This chapter describes the noninteractive objects available in Adobe Captivate. Noninteractive objects are used to

display information to the user. You cannot assign scores to noninteractive objects.

Text captions

You can use text captions for the following:

Draw attention to specific areas of the slide Use text captions to point out menu options or icons or to focus user

attention on easily overlooked details. When you are not using voice-over narration, you can use text captions instead.

Add text to a slide The only way in which you can add plain text to a slide in Adobe Captivate is using transparent text

captions. For more information, see

“Add plain text to a slide” on page 74.

You decide how text captions appear (font, size, color, and so on). Adobe Captivate provides a wide variety of

predefined text caption styles, but you can also create custom styles that match the standards of your company.

The following types of captions are available in Adobe Captivate:

Regular Use regular captions to “talk” to the viewer about features on the screen. You can have Adobe Captivate

automatically generate text captions based upon what is recorded. For example, when you click the File menu during

recording, Adobe Captivate creates a text caption that says “Select the File menu item.” It then places the text caption

on the slide showing the action. Alternatively, you can insert such text captions into the slides manually and edit them.

Captions for interactive objects Interactive objects are associated with success, failure, and hint captions. These

captions are automatically generated for the objects when you record in some of the modes.

• Success The success caption is displayed when the user performs the desired action on the object.

• Failure The failure caption is displayed when the user performs an action other than what is set in the application.

• Hint You can use hint captions to help users when they are unable to perform a certain task. Hint captions are

displayed when the user moves the mouse over the object.

Tips for creating text captions

Here are some tips for creating captions:

• If the caption is strictly text on the slide, use the Transparent caption style.

• Don't use fonts that are not available on most computers. For example, if you use FF Confidential, and the user

doesn't have it on the local computer, some other font is substituted.

• Create a style sheet by formatting a caption and selecting the Apply Properties To All Captions In The Movie check

box in the Text Caption dialog box. All captions in the SWF file or captions you create use the font, alignment, and

caption style you set.

• Captions can be used as a script for narrations. When you click the Audio button on the main toolbar to open the

Slide Audio dialog box, click the Captions And Slide Notes option. If a caption is attached to the slide, you see it in

the Record Audio dialog box as a script.
