Adding Text Captions
Text captions are useful tools that draw attention to specific areas in a slide. For example, you can
use text captions to point out menu items or icons. You can also use text captions to focus user
attention on easily overlooked details. If you do not use voice-over narration in a project, you can
use text captions to provide a similar function; text captions can “speak” to the user.

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

that match your company or organization appearance.

create a text caption that says “Select the Edit menu” and place the text caption on the exact slide
showing the action.
