Exploring other project preferences

There are some more project preferences available in Captivate that are worth exploring before publishing. Most of the time, the default settings for these particular options work just fine, so we won't modify any of these options in the Encoder Demonstration project.

In the following exercises, we will simply take a look at these preferences and briefly discuss some of them:

  1. If needed, return to the Chapter15/encoderDemo_800.cptx file.
  2. Use the Edit | Preferences (Windows) menu item or the Adobe Captivate | Preferences (Mac) menu item to open the Preferences dialog.
  3. Open the Size and Quality category in the Project section.

This particular Preferences page provides options to control how the Captivate project is converted into HTML5 or Flash upon publication. If you want more information about any one of these options, don't hesitate to click the Help link in the bottom-left corner of the Preferences dialog.
