Captivate 9 add additional text to speech

Question

I have existing text to speech on a slide, but I need to insert two additional paragraphs in the middle. Each sentence is separate in Speech Management, and I'd like these to be separate as well. I tried adding them under the Closed Captioning tab in the Audio window, but it messed up the order of the CC and the orange markers in the timeline that indicate where each row begins all bunched up. Is there any easy way of adding new TTS to the middle of existing TTS?

On the slide where you want to insert the extra text, select the line of CC text in the Slide Notes panel that you want to appear AFTER the new text, and then click the + button on the right hand end of the Slide Notes. This will then insert a new line ABOVE the line you selected.

You can add your extra text here, but you will still need to regenerate the CC text in order to create the extra Text-To-Speech audio.

From your description about the 'orange markers' it would appear that you are referring to the Closed Captioning tab on the Slide Audio dialog, which is where you synchronise the CC text with voiceover audio. You are correct that if you insert more audio into the middle of a slide that this will necessitate readjusting the synchronisation by sliding around the markers. There's no way to avoid that completely.
