1. Select File > New Project > Project Template.
2. Specify the dimensions of the project template, and click OK.
3. Set preferences for the template using the Edit > Preferences dialog box. The preferences are automatically applied when you use the project template to create a project.
4. Choose the look and feel for projects based on the template by clicking Themes > Themes. The Themes bar appears. Click the required theme from the Themes bar.
5. Modify the theme to suit your requirements.
Note: If you do not want to use themes, you can create your own layouts by inserting placeholder objects on the slides (Insert > Placeholder Objects).
6. To insert placeholders for slides, select Insert > Placeholder Slides, and choose the type of slide placeholder.
7. Insert other Adobe Captivate objects, and required media.
Best practice is to add all objects or media that do not change from project to project (for example, a logo) as actual objects. Use placeholders for objects or media that are specific to the project.
8. Save the file.
The file is saved with a .cptl extension.
Sorry, Saurav, but I never recommend to use a template. It is causing too much problems when the template has variables and advanced/shared actions. Moreover your sentence ‘If you don’t want to use a theme’ is confusing, because there is NO way to have a CP project that is not using a theme. Even the Blank theme has its object styles and skin setup. Most users would never need a template (placeholders have lot of drawbacks as well), but a theme! Have a look at my well-visited blog post:
