Chapter 7: Adding boxes and buttons
Adobe Captivate lets you add a variety of buttons and boxes to slides. Some types are interactive, enabling users
to participate actively in the learning process. You can add the following types of buttons and boxes:
Highlight boxes
These boxes highlight areas in a slide. You can use these boxes to show users where to focus attention or enter data,
or simply as emphasis. You set the size, color, transparency, and display options for highlight boxes.
Click boxes
These clickable boxes are interactive. You can use click boxes to demonstrate an application's functionality (for
example, by requiring users to click a menu or button). You determine what happens after the user performs a
successful click. For example, the project can advance to the next slide, display a URL, or send an e-mail message.
You can also size and position click boxes.
Text entry boxes
These boxes require users to enter text. You can demonstrate an application's or website functionality by having
users enter text into appropriate locations. You can also use text entry boxes to ask simple quiz questions.
Buttons
Buttons increase the interactivity of your Adobe Captivate projects. You have a great deal of control over how
buttons look and function. You can also size and position buttons on a slide.
