Adding boxes and buttons
Adding click boxes
Adobe Captivate lets you add another level of interactivity to projects by using click boxes. Click boxes are
clickable boxes that you can size and position. You can use click boxes to demonstrate an application's function-
ality, for example, by requiring users to click a menu or button. You can determine what happens after the user
performs a successful click. For example, the project can advance to the next slide, open a URL, or send an e-mail
message.
After you have added a click box to your project, you can view and edit the object’s properties in the Advanced
Interaction dialog box by selecting Project > Advanced Interaction. This dialog box displays the properties of all
interactive objects in your project.
To add a click box:
1
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2 Select the slide to which you want to add a click box.
3
Select Insert > Click Box.
The Click Box dialog box appears.
4 Select the Click Box tab.
This tab lets you determine how the project responds to user interaction. The options are divided into two basic
categories: what happens when the user clicks inside the click box and what happens when the user clicks outside
the click box.
The following options are in the If the user clicks inside the click box area:
