# Selecting MenuBuilder templates

Templates in MenuBuilder serve the same purpose as in other software programs such as Microsoft PowerPoint. They frequently contain background images and text styles. MenuBuilder stores all user-defined templates in a default directory. You can access/change this directory as necessary.

In general, you select a template during the initial development process by using the MenuBuilder wizard.

To select a template:

1. Open Captivate.

2. From the Captivate Start Page, click Create a MenuBuilder project.

The MenuBuilder dialog box appears.

3. Select Project wizard and click OK.

The MenuBuilder wizard appears.

4. Under Templates, select a template for your project.

A preview of the selected template is displayed in the preview window on the right.

5. Click Next and complete the process of creating a new MenuBuilder project.
