# Editing captions

After you have created captions, it is easy to make changes to the caption style or text.

Note: If you are resizing a caption, you cannot make the caption smaller than the bitmap used to create the caption. For example, the caption style "Blue Pill" uses bitmaps sized approximately 18 pixels (wide) x 16 pixels (high), so these bitmaps could not be resized down to 15 x 12 pixels. However, any of the caption bitmaps can be made larger. If you need very small captions, consider creating custom captions.

#### To edit a caption:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. Double-click the slide that contains the caption you want to edit.

3. Double-click the caption to edit.

The Caption Properties dialog box appears.

4. Click the various tabs and make any changes you want. (For details about all of the available options, click the Help button or see Adding captions.)

5. When you finish, click OK.

Tip: If you have a detailed slide that contains captions and other objects, you might want to make the caption a permanent part of the background. For details, see Merging objects into a slide.
