Chapter 12: Editing Projects

Hiding projects

Adobe Captivate lets you hide a project on the Start page. The project remains in the My Adobe
Captivate Projects folder (located within the My Documents folder), but is hidden from view
when Adobe Captivate is opened and the Start page appears. The hide option is useful if you have
old projects that you want to retain, but you do not need them to appear whenever you open
Adobe Captivate.

To hide a project on the Start page:

Start Adobe Captivate.

Under Open a recent project, right-click a project and select Hide Project.

Note: Up to ten project names can appear in the Open a recent project list on the Adobe Captivate
Start page.

Previewing projects

As you create an Adobe Captivate project, you can preview it. You can see your project the way
your users see it.

To preview a project:

Open Adobe Captivate.

Open the Adobe Captivate project you want to preview.

Double-click any slide to open Edit view.

In the toolbar, click Preview and select one of the following options:

Play this slide

Select to preview only the current slide.

Project

Select to preview the entire project from start to finish.

From this slide

Select to preview the project from the currently displayed slide to the end.

Next 5 slides

Select to preview the current slide and the following four slides. (You can

change the default of 5 slides for this option on the Defaults tab of the Project Preferences
dialog box.)

In Web Browser

Select to preview the project in your default web browser (that is, Internet

Explorer, Netscape, Opera, and so on).

Adobe Captivate generates the project and displays it in the preview window.

Tip: You can also preview a single slide using the Timeline.

Note: When you publish projects, you can select which version of Flash that Adobe Captivate uses
to generate the SWF file. However, for previews, Adobe Captivate automatically uses the Active X
Flash version that you have installed on your computer.
