Student Activity: Check Spelling

1. Open SpellMeAlignMe from the Captivate7Data folder.

This is pretty much the same project you’ve been working on since the

beginning of this module. To save you a little work, I’ve added an introduction

slide that explains what the lesson is about. I’ve also timed the Text Captions

so that each one plays for five seconds and appears on the slide one after the

other.

2. Disable Calculate Caption Timing.

 Windows users, choose Edit > Preferences;

Mac user, choose Adobe Captivate > Preferences

 from the top of the dialog box, select Defaults

 deselect Calculate Caption Timing (there should not be a check mark

next to the option)

Depending on how you look at the world, the Calculate Caption Timing feature

is one of those “glass half empty, half full” kind of commands. With the option

selected, Captivate automatically calculates how long a caption stays on a

slide based on the number of characters in the caption. That’s a glass half-full

kind of thing—you don’t have to worry about the timing.

However, if you select a specific display time (as you have done with the

captions in this project) and then change a caption’s content, you would

inadvertently reset your specified time to Captivate’s calculated caption

timing. That’s a glass half-empty kind of thing—you’ll have to reset the timing

via the Timeline or through the Text Caption’s properties. Personally, I’m not a

fan of Calculate Caption Timing and always disable the option.

 click the OK button

3. On slide 1, notice that there are typos in the Text Captions (from misspelled

words to double words). No worries, you’ll be fixing each of the typos during

the Check Spelling activity that follows.

4. Spell check the project.

 choose Project > Check Spelling

The Check Spelling dialog box opens. The first word that is flagged as Not In

Dictionary is the word foolders. It should be replaced with the word folders.
