Chapter 4: Adding Text Captions
Changing text caption order
Adobe Captivate lets you add multiple captions to each slide. You specify the order in which these
captions appear using the Timeline. The Timeline enables you to precisely adjust the timing of all
objects, including captions, on a slide.

Alternatively, if you have a caption that is currently displayed at the same time the slide is
displayed, but you want a slight delay, move the mouse over the center of the caption on the
Timeline until the hand cursor appears, and then drag the entire caption so the left edge
aligns with 2s (a 2-second delay) or 4s (a 4-second delay) in the header.

If you have two captions that overlap on the slide, you need to select the caption you want to
appear in front by setting the stacking order. Changing the stacking order consists of moving
captions to the back and front of the slide “stage.” The key point to remember is that captions
at the back of the stage appear behind other captions. Use one of the following methods to set
the stacking order.
