To access this dialog box: Open a Captivate movie and navigate to a slide in Edit view. From the Insert menu, select Rollover Caption. Click the Rollover Caption tab.
Use this dialog box to design how the rollover caption will appear on the slide.
Rollover captions are unique. They consist of a caption and a rectangle (the "hot" area). Rollover captions appear when the user moves the mouse over the "hot" area at runtime. You can customize everything about a rollover caption: the location, outline, and size of the "hot" area, as well as the usual caption options.
Caption type: Click the drop-down
arrow to select a background style for the caption (for
example, blue pill or xpbubble).
Font: Click the drop-down arrow
to select a font for the caption.
Size: Click the drop-down arrow
to
select a size for the caption.
Color: Click to open the Color dialog box, from which you can select or create a color for the caption text.
Caption direction: Click one of the five caption directions. (Example)

Caption text: Enter the caption text exactly as you want it to appear.
Apply properties to all rollover captions in the movie: Select this option to apply the changes you made on this tab to all the rollover captions in the movie.
OK: Click to accept changes made in this dialog box.
Cancel: Click to cancel changes made in this dialog box.
Apply: Click to apply all changes made in this dialog box. This option lets you test and view your changes without closing the dialog box.
Note: After you determine the caption content and style, you must set the rollover area.
