Add zoom areas
1 In an open project, select the slide to which you want to add a zoom area.
2 Select Insert > Standard Objects > Zoom Area.
3 Set the options for the zoom area as required.
4 Select the zoom destination area and set its properties using the Properties Inspector (Window > Properties).
Note: The Zoom Destination Area box always appears on the top layer no matter where it is placed on the Timeline of a
slide.
Images and rollover images
You can incorporate images into projects as logos, startup screens, pointers, backgrounds, buttons, and more. You can
add images in the following formats: JPG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, ICO, EMF, POT, or WMF.
Rollover images consist of an image and a rollover area (the “hot” area). Rollover images appear when the end user
moves the pointer over the rollover area at run time. They are useful for heavily detailed slides or for slides that contain
buttons or toolbars that require explanation.
You can use the same type of graphics for rollover images that you use for traditional images. You can also customize
the location, outline, and size of the rollover area for rollover images.
Adobe Captivate contains a gallery of buttons, sounds, and animations (in SWF format) for you to use in your
projects. By default, the gallery is stored in the following location when you install Adobe Captivate: C:\Program
Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5\Gallery (on Windows) and /Applications/Adobe Captivate 5/Gallery (on Mac OS).
