Though creating accessible content was possible in Macromedia Captivate also, with the release of Adobe Captivate 2, it has just got better.In a nutshell, The guidelines of Accessibility (as also in the section 508) state that the content created must be accessible for everyone, even if they are physically challenged (say visibly challenged for instance)While creating accessible content, the
