Adding highlight boxes
Adobe Captivate lets you add highlight boxes to spotlight areas within a slide. You can think of a
highlight box as the online equivalent of a highlighter pen used on paper. You can add highlight
boxes to show users where to focus attention or enter data, or simply as emphasis. You can control
the size, color, transparency, and timing for highlight boxes.
