Working with Themes

A Theme is a file that collects all the formatting properties of a project, including (but not limited to) the Styles. Captivate installs with a handful of ready-to-use themes. In order to have a better idea of what a Theme is, you will start with some simple experiments using the predefined Themes of Captivate:

1. Save and close every open file.
2. Use the File | New Project | Blank Project menu item to create a new blank project.
3. In the New Blank Project dialog, use the Select drop-down menu to choose a size of 1024 x 627. When you are done, click the OK button.

Captivate creates a new blank project of the chosen size. When a new project is created that way, a single slide is automatically added to the Filmstrip. This new slide is already formatted and contains several styled objects.
