ADOBE CAPTIVATE 3
User Guide
Note: If you select the Open URL or file option and specify a URL, the URL is visible when you edit the slide in Adobe
Captivate. However, it won’t be visible to the user. To show the URL, create a simple image with the URL text on the
image, add the image to your slide, and place a click box over the image.
Set shortcut key
Click Select keys to choose a key combination for users to press when submitting responses.
The current shortcut is displayed to the left of the button.
Note: If your Adobe Captivate project will be displayed in a browser, set shortcut keys that won’t conflict with common
browser shortcuts. For example, F1 is frequently used as a keyboard shortcut to display help. The Control, Alt and
Shift keys map to the Control, Option, and Shift keys on Macintosh computers, respectively.
5 Click the Options tab, and customize your text entry box by selecting from the following options:
Display for [time]
Specifies the timing of the text entry box. Click the pop-up menu and select an option. If you
select the specific time option, you can enter the exact number of seconds for the text entry box to appear.
Appear after [#] seconds
Displays the text entry box after the slide has been displayed for the selected number
of seconds.
Pause after [#] seconds
Specifies the point at which the project should pause and allow the user to enter text
into the text entry box. For example, you can set this option to 5 seconds so the text entry box displays and then
5 seconds later the project pauses to wait for the user to enter text.
Effect
Click the pop-up menu and select a transition effect for the text entry box. Select a fade in or fade out
option, or select No transition.
Transparency
This is the degree of transparency for the text entry box. Select a value from 0% to 100%. A value
of 10% is less transparent (more solid) than a value of 90%.
The transparency effect does not appear when you view the text entry box in Edit view. To test the transparency
effect, press F4 to preview the slide.
Background color
Select a background color for the text entry box.
Success caption
Select this option to include a success caption (for example, Congratulations!).
Failure caption
Select this option to include a failure caption (for example, Sorry, please try again).
Hint caption
Select this option to include a hint caption. (The hint caption appears when users move the mouse
over the text entry box.)
Pause for success/failure captions
Select this option to have the project pause until all success and failure
captions (see explanations for captions above) have displayed for the user to read.
