Chapter 11:  Adding and Managing Objects

4.

Click the object that you want to reuse and, if necessary, preview the object in the preview pane.

5.

Drag the object to the selected slide stage.

Note: After you copy the object to the slide, editing the properties of the object won’t affect that 
object in other slides.

To reuse an object listed in a different Adobe Captivate 2 project’s Library:

1.

In Edit view, select the slide to which you want to add the object.

2.

If the Library is hidden, from the View menu, select Show Library.

3.

From the Library toolbar, click Open Library and select Open Library.

The Open dialog box appears.

4.

Navigate to, and select, the project that contains the objects you want to reuse and click Open.

The Library for the other project opens in a separate and expandable window.

5.

Click to select the object that you want to reuse.

6.

Drag the object to the selected slide stage or to the appropriate folder in your current project’s 
Library.

7.

Select and drag any additional objects that you want to reuse, and then click the close button in 
the top right corner of the other project Library window.

The new objects now appear in your current project Library, even if you dragged them directly 
onto a slide, and you can reuse them as many times as you want.

Note: After you open another Adobe Captivate 2 project’s Library, that project will stay in the Open 
Library menu so you can quickly access that project’s Library at any time.
