Creating blank MenuBuilder projects
If you do not want to use the MenuBuilder wizard to create a project, you can create a blank 
project and edit it.
To create a blank project:
1.
Open Adobe Captivate.
2.
Under Other project types, click Create a MenuBuilder project. 
The MenuBuilder dialog box appears.
3.
Select Blank project and click OK. 
MenuBuilder opens with a new blank project. 
4.
Add items to the project as required.
Opening existing MenuBuilder projects
It is simple to open existing MenuBuilder projects.

Open Adobe Captivate.
2.
From the Adobe Captivate Start page, click Create a MenuBuilder project. 
The MenuBuilder dialog box appears.
3.
Select Open an existing project and click a listed project. If the project you want to open is not 
listed, click Browse to locate the project.
4.
Click OK.
Selecting MenuBuilder templates
Templates in MenuBuilder serve the same purpose as in other software programs such as 
Microsoft PowerPoint. They frequently contain background images and text styles. MenuBuilder 
stores all user-defined templates in a default directory. You can access/change this directory as 
necessary. 
In general, you select a template during the initial development process by using the MenuBuilder 
wizard.
To select a template:
1.
Open Adobe Captivate. 
2.
From the Adobe Captivate Start page, click Create a MenuBuilder project.
The MenuBuilder dialog box appears.
3.
Select Project wizard and click OK. 
The MenuBuilder Wizard appears. 
4.
Under Templates, select a template for your project. 
A preview of the selected template is displayed in the Preview window on the right.
5.
Click Next and complete the process of creating a new MenuBuilder project.
