3. Type “Learning Slideshows” into the Caption Text field. Your new
caption will appear in the Captions List on the left side of the
Preview.

The Captions List is very similar to the Layers List. Your captions are
shown in the order they stack with one another. The first caption is above
the rest, just like layers.

Note: Captions are always on top of layers. No matter how you position
your layers, captions will always appear above them. You can think of the
two as separate stacks. The captions are always the top stack, ordered as
they appear in the list. The layers are beneath the captions stack, appearing
in their own order. If you want to have text positioned behind layers in a
slide, you'll need to convert your caption to a Text Layer-which is covered
in greater detail in the next chapter.
4. In the Caption Format area, select a Font from the dropdown list.
For this example, let's choose ‘Impact’ as your font choice.
ProShow can use all TrueType (.ttf) and Open Type (.otf) fonts that you have
installed on your PC. ProShow automatically checks to see which supported
fonts have been installed in Windows. If you have a collection of fonts that
you use for other programs, these will also be available for use in ProShow.

5. Select the Case for your text from the dropdown list. You can
leave your text exactly as you typed it, or convert all characters in
your text to Upper or Lower case.

6. Click on the Size dropdown list and let's choose 36.
