Captivate offers more than a dozen objects. In this chapter, you will learn about nine of those objects. These nine objects are the standard non-interactive objects of Captivate. In Chapter 5, Adding Interactivity to the Project, you will learn about the more complex interactive objects. The first one you will focus on is the Text Caption object.
The Text Caption object is the most basic object in Captivate. It is typically used when there is a need to display text to the learners. In its most basic form, the Text Caption is a text item that appears and disappears from the screen according to its position on the Timeline panel.
The Demonstration auto-recording mode you used during the filming already added many Text Captions on your slides. Some of these might be just right, but most of them, if not all of them, will need some extra work.
