Inserting Question Slides in Adobe Captivate 2 is no trick. You simply choose Insert > Question slide, select your Question Type and click OK. However, there's a feature available to any Question Slide that you may not have found on your own. You can specify an Action for every answer that can branch a user to any of the following destinations:
In the following example, I'll demonstrate how to send answers in a Multiple Choice Question Slide to different slides in a project (a technique known as Branching).
Click here to see an example of a Question slide using this technique. And click here to see other Captivate sample projects.

Question: Can You Resize Captivate Captions Even Smaller?
Do you know if it is possible in Adobe Captivate 2.0 to resize captions to a size smaller than their default size?
For example, when I add a halogreen Caption 4 to the slide, I am unable to resize it to smaller than 156 x 81 pixels, even with "Constrain proportions" unchecked.
Somewhere in the Captivate documentation, there's mention that "you cannot make the caption smaller than the bitmap used to create the caption", but I was wondering if you know of any workarounds, other than creating my own custom captions?
Answer:
Great question, but sorry, you cannot do it. Your only alternative is to create custom captions.
Here are some links that should help you learn to create your own custom captions:
Paul has a great Web site offering tons of Captivate information and goodies. There is also a page dedicated to custom captions.
Dave Mozelealous' BLOG where he created a cartoon caption.

Clarity, conciseness and simplicity of word choice will make a difference in your writing, especially when the message is complex or the reader is uninformed. Conciseness does not necessarily mean brevity.
Too Full: The seminar participant, who could not attend the first two class sessions because of illness in the family and a heavy workload at the office and who asked if she could complete the assignments on her own time, was informed by the instructor that she was no longer eligible to receive a certificate of completion for this particular class but that she could enroll in the next class.
Concise: The participant was unable to attend the first two class sessions because of illness in the family and a heavy workload.

Wordy: She departed in a hasty and quick manner.
Concise: She departed hastily Wordy: I was wondering if you have had enough time to review and consider my request for reevaluating the work of Juanita Perez so I can tell her whether or not she qualifies to fully complete the application for a job promotion that will promote her from her present level of administrative assistant to a new and higher job level of senior secretary.
Concise: Is Juanita Perez eligible to apply for a promotion?
Wordy: It is most likely a true fact that in spite of the fact that the educational atmosphere that surrounds our children is a very significant and a very important factor to each and every one of our children in terms of his or her personal and individual future development and growth, various different groups and people do not at all support certain tax assessments or tax increases at a reasonable and fair rate that are required for the one and only purpose and express intention of providing an excellent educational context at a decent level of quality.
Concise: Although quality education is important for our children, some people vote against tax increases for school improvements.

While the act of showing the Closed Captions is an easy one (you simply turn the feature on), adding the Closed Captions to each audio clip can be very labor intensive.
Here is how you add closed captions to an audio clip:
After adding the Closed Captions and previewing the project, you will most likely agree that the Closed Captions are hard to read (the default font size is too small).
Here is how you edit the Closed Caption properties:
The Lines Count area will allow you to make the Closed Caption area that appears in the published project either taller or shorter. If there is too much text to fit, the overflow text will be truncated.
The Font area allows you to change the font, font size, and color. I’d recommend using the Verdana font with a font size not smaller than 12. Anything smaller will be too hard to read.
The Background area controls the physical appearance of the closed caption. While you can select any color you like, I typically set the Transparency to 100% so you cannot see the Background area at all.
