ADOBE CAPTIVATE 3 229 User Guide Selecting the Objects only option lets you specify exactly which slide you want to add the objects to in the current project. Just click the pop-up menu next to Place objects on and select a current project slide number. 5 When you are done, click OK. The objects are added to the open project. 6 Open different slides in Edit view to see the objects that were imported. Using the library The Library, available in Edit view, lists all media objects in a project, and allows you to easily view and reuse the images, backgrounds, audio, video, and animation in your project. You can also access and reuse objects from other Adobe Captivate project Libraries. You can also open objects for edit from the Library. For example, you can right-click an image in the Library, select Edit with from the menu, and browse to your favorite image editing program. The image opens in the program; you can edit and save the updated image in the project. (After you have selected an editing program for a specific file type, Adobe Captivate defaults to that editing program the next time you open that file type for edit.) You can float the Library outside the program window, or move it to a different location in the window. To do so, rest the pointer over the top left of the Library preview pane until a four-point arrow appears; then drag the Library to an edge of the program window where it can dock, or to the middle of the program window where it can float. (You can always drag the Library back.) For each object, the Library shows the following: Name, Type, Size (in kilobytes), Use Count, and Date Modified. (Use Count is the number of times the object is used in the project.) Click the title of any of these columns to sort the list of objects within each object category folder. Note: The Library only appears when you're in Edit view. If you move to a different view, you cannot see the Library. When you move back to Edit view, the Library reappears in the same location. New resources (images, audio, animations, etc.) appear in the Library whenever you add them to the project. These Library items are available for use even if you delete the slide in which the items was originally used. You can rename the Library folders and create subfolders to organize the objects how ever you want. Right-click on a folder in the Library to rename it or to create a subfolder. To view objects in the Library: 1 Open an Adobe Captivate project.

project. Just click the pop-up menu next to Place objects on and select a current project slide number.

Using the library
The Library, available in Edit view, lists all media objects in a project, and allows you to easily view and reuse the
images, backgrounds, audio, video, and animation in your project. You can also access and reuse objects from
other Adobe Captivate project Libraries.
You can also open objects for edit from the Library. For example, you can right-click an image in the Library, select
Edit with from the menu, and browse to your favorite image editing program. The image opens in the program;
you can edit and save the updated image in the project. (After you have selected an editing program for a specific
file type, Adobe Captivate defaults to that editing program the next time you open that file type for edit.)
You can float the Library outside the program window, or move it to a different location in the window. To do so,
rest the pointer over the top left of the Library preview pane until a four-point arrow appears; then drag the
Library to an edge of the program window where it can dock, or to the middle of the program window where it
can float. (You can always drag the Library back.)
For each object, the Library shows the following: Name, Type, Size (in kilobytes), Use Count, and Date Modified.
(Use Count is the number of times the object is used in the project.) Click the title of any of these columns to sort
the list of objects within each object category folder.
Note:
The Library only appears when you’re in Edit view. If you move to a different view, you cannot see the Library.
When you move back to Edit view, the Library reappears in the same location.
New resources (images, audio, animations, etc.) appear in the Library whenever you add them to the project.
These Library items are available for use even if you delete the slide in which the items was originally used. You
can rename the Library folders and create subfolders to organize the objects how ever you want. Right-click on a
folder in the Library to rename it or to create a subfolder.
To view objects in the Library:
