Undo Merging Objects into a Slide

I imported an image in to my slide and right-clicked on the image to merge into a slide so that it can look like the background, but how can I undo this?

The reason is that when people open up my demo, depending on the size of their monitor, generally they have to use their scroll bar to the right to center my demo on their screen, so I'm thinking if I move my image up, more likely they won't have to do this.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!

HI mhkdemo and welcome to our community

When you elected to right-click the image and merge it into the background, you should have received a rather ominous looking dialog you had to click Yes on, in order to proceed.

The dialog reads as follows:
This option will merge the object onto the current slide and remove the object. Are you sure you want to merge the object (it cannot be undone)?

So the short answer is that you cannot "undo" the action. But what does this REALLY mean? Well, Captivate keeps track of everything you do. This provides an essentially unlimited number of undo levels. I've actually put this to the test and I gave up after successfully undoing about 300 levels or so.

The only real way for you to recover is to probably insert a blank slide, then insert the image again as an object on the slide.

Hopefully this helps... Rick
