The following tip comes from fellow Captivater Alan Rosenberg:
Many of the items on Captivate’s Insert menu (Text Caption, Highlight Box, etc.) have four tabs in their dialog boxes where the Captivate user gets to configure exactly how the item looks and behaves. Each tab also has a check-box in its lower left, named Apply to All, that applies the configuration to other similar items in your presentation.
Be advised that when you check an Apply to All check-box on a single tab, you will be applying the characteristics selected on all four tabs, not just the tab on which you check the check-box. It took me a while to figure out why some characteristics of my Text Captions were "mysteriously" changing and this was the answer.
