Something I have thought about but not yet tried. In digging through the Captivate program files, I see the following file in the root folder:
CaptureTextTemplates_English.rdl
It looks like this is the location of the default text, so you may wish to try editing the text; I was able to open with Notepad.

Subject: Captivate Question
Hey everyone,
I have a question with regards to the most recent version of Captivate
(Version 1.01?). There is a feature where, when you're recording,
Captivate automatically fills in "caption balloons" with text. When we
click a button it generates the following text: "Click the ____ button".
And when we open a dialog box it generates the following text: "The
______ dialog opens".
My question is, does anyone know any way to change the default text? So
instead of saying "Click the ____ button". the text will automatically,
generate "Select the ____ button".
One of our SMEs has read the help file and experimented with every
option she can find and is still not having any luck finding a way to do
this.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions,
R.
