I sometimes re-use certain generic slides in different projects, but by doing that Captivate will name objects based on where they were in the old project. So I’ll create a caption that’s labeled 100 instead of 10, for example. Is there a way to reset that count other than renaming each one manually?
That is called ‘smart labeling’, but indeed you can only edit those names manually. You didn’t mention the exact version you are using, but it is indeed important to have a unique name for each object in Captivate, which is the reason they introduced this.
Without knowing the version you are using which I hope NOT to be version 12 it is difficult to give you a suggestion. But if you are on a version before 12, why do you not use custom master slides in a custom theme to replace those ‘generic’ slides. They may have placeholders. Replace advanced actions by shared action can also be a way to avoid the smart labeling.
