USING ADOBE CAPTIVATE 5
Adding and Managing Objects
Last updated 4/22/2010
5 Drag the object to the selected slide stage or to the appropriate folder in your current project Library.
The new objects now appear in your current project Library, even if you dragged them directly onto a slide. You can
reuse them as many times as you want.
Note: After you open the Library of another Adobe Captivate project, that project stays in the Open Library menu. You
can quickly access that project Library at any time.

Copy, paste, and duplicate objects
After you have created an object, you can copy that object and paste it onto the same slide, a different slide in your
project, or several slides in your project at the same time. This can save you a great deal of time, especially if you create
intricate objects with specific sizes, colors, and formatting.
You can also copy and paste objects between different projects.
Note: To reuse media objects that appear in the Library, simply drag the object from the Library onto the slide.
When objects from a slide are copied into a slidelet, the following properties of the objects are modified:
• If timing for the object is specified as Rest Of Slide or Rest Of Project, it is changed to Rest Of Slidelet.
• The option Synchronize With Project loses its validity for FLV files.
