Delete all instances of a button in a project - Captivate 4

Question

Hi there.It seems that with Captivate 2 (or maybe 3), you could copy a button and paste it on all the rest of the slides in your project.  Then if you had to modify that button, you could select it from the Library (memory's fuzzy here, that may not be accurate), then delete it, and it would delete the button from every slide.With Captivate 4, I don't see any buttons in the Library.  It also appears that if I paste a button onto all of my slides, each button is renamed and lives as a separate instance, and it's not just replicas of the original button.Is this the case?  Basically, I want to delete a button from my project that's been pasted on all of my slides.  Without deleting it slide by slide.  Can this be done in Captivate 4?I am aware of persistent buttons available via the Widgets functionality, but that wasn't appropriate for my project in this case.Thanks,Tichelle

Here's a way to at least delete all Back buttons in a project at once:

1. Select Preferences from Edit menu.

2. In the Category pane on the left side of the Preferences window, select Quiz>Settings.

3. Under the Settings part of the window, uncheck the box next to “Allow backward movement.”

4. Click the OK button.

NOTES: • Depending on how many slides are in your project, it can take several seconds to complete the process. The Preferences window will disappear when it has completed removing all Back buttons.

• Also, if this doesn’t work for some reason (it didn’t remove the Back buttons from all my slides a couple of times), start by first selecting all slides (from Edit menu or Ctrl+A).
