Custom
  Select this option to choose the objects, such as captions, highlight boxes, and 
click boxes that you automatically want to add to the project. 
If you want to edit the list of objects that you want to add automatically to your project when 
using any of the different auto-recording modes, click Edit settings. 
You can set the following options in the Sound area:
Record narration
  Select this option to record audio as you record the project.
Note: You can’t select both Record narration and Hear camera sounds during recording. When 
you select one, the other option is automatically disabled.
Hear camera sounds during recording 
Select this option to play a “camera shutter” sound 
whenever a screenshot is captured during recording. It is helpful to turn this sound on so you 
know exactly when a screenshot is captured, especially when using the auto-recording feature. 
The camera sound is not included in the finished project. 
Record keystrokes
  Select this option to record keyboard action. Adobe Captivate records 
keyboard input but does not capture screenshots for every character. The keystrokes appear in 
the finished project. 
Hear keyboard tap sounds
  Select this option to determine whether keyboard tap sounds are 
audible during recording. The keyboard tap sounds are not included in the finished project. 
The following options are in the Options area:
Hide recording window
  Select this option to hide the red rectangle that is displayed during 
recording.
Hide Adobe Captivate task icon
  Select this option to hide the task icon during recording. 
(When you record with the full-screen options, you typically see that Adobe Captivate is an 
open application. If this interferes with what you are recording, you can hide Adobe Captivate 
with this option.)
Hide Adobe Captivate system tray icon
  Select this option to hide the system tray icon 
during recording. (This icon is the small Adobe Captivate icon that is displayed in the system 
tray in the lower-right corner of the computer screen. If you need to record that area of the 
computer screen, but do not want the Adobe Captivate icon to be displayed in your project, 
this option lets you hide the icon.)
Move new windows inside recording area
  Select this option to have Adobe Captivate 
automatically take any windows that open while you are recording and move them into the red 
capture window. This is particularly useful if you are recording an application in which many 
dialog boxes open as you use the application.
Record actions in real time
  Select this option to have Adobe Captivate record in real time.
