# Importing captions

You can import captions from a DOC file. First, you export the captions from your Captivate movie. Captivate creates a DOC file that preserves all of the formatting from the captions. While the captions are in DOC format, you can make text and formatting changes in a word processing program. Then import the captions back into the Captivate movie using the steps below.

Note: If you export captions to a DOC file, that DOC file can only be imported back into the original movie. To import captions from one movie into a different movie, see Importing objects.

Importing and exporting captions to and from a DOC file can be useful in several situations. For example, if you have many captions and need to edit the text on all of them, it might be easier and faster to work with the text in DOC format instead of navigating from slide to slide.

#### To import captions:

1. Open the Captivate movie containing captions.

2. Export the captions.

3. Make the necessary changes while the captions are in DOC format, and save the DOC file.

4. From the Captivate File menu, select Import/Export > Import movie captions.

5. Select the DOC file that contains the exported captions.

6. Click Open.

7. An Information dialog box appears, confirming that the import was successful. Click OK.
