How to Use Caption Interactivity:
Link to URLs, Send an E-mail, Jump to Specific Slides, and more!

Instead of suggesting that viewers visit your website, you can take them there instantly with an Interactive caption linked to your URL. Let your clients send you an e-mail by simply clicking on certain captions in your show. You can even create a caption that will launch another program when clicked! Take your text even further by specifying actions that take place when users click on a caption. It’s so easy to create Interactive Captions that you’ll be using them like a pro in no time!
