214 10. Captions

Let’s begin by learning how to use the caption tools to create a fully
customized introduction caption. This is something that you’re likely to use
often since almost all slideshows have an introduction in them.

As you create this example, you will also learn how each value works and
what it is used for.

Creating a Title Slide

For this example we’re going to work with a completely blank slide. Rather
than work images into the equation, we’ll stick exclusively with a caption.
This example combines some caption customization and caption effects to
get a strong introduction sequence.

How to Create a Title Slide
1. Right-click at the beginning of your Slide List and select Insert >
Title Slide in the sub-menu that appears.
OR...

Click the Add Title icon in the Build or Design
Workspace Toolbar.
Creating a title slide is a great way to quickly get started if you’re only
working with captions. Selecting this option creates a slide with no images
on it and takes you automatically to the Caption Settings for that new
slide.

2. Begin typing your caption in the Select Caption Text field, which
appears just to the right of the Preview.

When you have no captions on a slide, simply typing into the text field will
create the new caption. Once a single caption is added, you’ll need to use
the Add (+) button in the Captions List pane to create additional captions
on the slide.
