Work with text in Adobe Captivate

Select the content block (for example, multi-column) on the slide. 

In a multi-column layout, you can have a minimum of two and a maximum of three columns. To change the number of columns, use the Number of Columns slider in the Visual Properties panel.

Select any design option. A design option presents pre-configured layouts with cleaner design elements to apply to the text content block.

For more information, view Design options in Adobe Captivate.

In the Components section, you can change the following:

• Title: Add or remove the title text.
• Subtitle: Add or remove the subtitle.
  
• Body: Add or remove the body of the text.
• Button: Add or remove the buttons.
• Card: Add or remove a card around the text.

Change the alignment of the title, subtitle, body, or button. To change the alignment (left, center, or right), hover on top of the title, and select the required alignment.

In the Appearance section, you can add a background color, linear gradient, radial gradient, or image to the text content block. Also, you can add a border or a shadow.

If you've enabled Card, you can change the card's properties of the content block, such as padding, border radius, background color, border, or shadow. 

Select any text object inside the text content block. The Visual Properties panel displays all the properties you can apply to the text.

In the Visual Properties panel, move the opacity slider to increase or decrease the opacity of the selected text.

In the Appearance section, apply a preset. A preset is a preconfigured setting or template that allows you to apply a predefined set of styles to the selected text.

Override a preset

If you change the preset, for example, change the font, size, make the font bold or italic, or others, you can then update the preset. Select the Update Preset icon on the preset, and the preset inherits the new properties.

See the section Create a text preset for information on creating a preset.

Change the font family, size, and style. Adjust the spacing in the text, paragraph, or line. You can also align the text and increase or decrease the indentation.

If you want the text to appear differently on devices, you can also change the font sizes for desktop, mobile, and tablet.

Change the casing of the text. Select Sentence, Title, Upper, or Lower cases from the dropdown. 

Add color to the text. From the color picker, select any color. You can also add an outline to the text, apply highlights, or add shadow.

Select Bullets and numbering to convert the selected text into a bulleted format. There are several bullets and numbered list designs that you can choose from.

If you want to insert a link to the text, select the text to which you want to add a link, then expand the Link section, and then add a link to a web page or an email address.

Select Open in new window to open the link in a new browser window.

Select any text object inside the text content block. The Visual Properties panel displays all the properties that you can apply to the text.

In the Presets panel, select a text preset, for example, Body 2.
