Adding boxes and buttons
Note: If you select Send e-mail to, you have the option to Continue playing the project while the e-mail message is
prepared and sent.
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 will not 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 will not 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.

Click the Options tab. This tab enables you to design the button’s appearance. Select from the following options:
Display for [time]
Specifies the timing of the button. 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 button to appear.
Appear after [#] seconds
Displays the button 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 wait for the user to click the
button. For example, you can set this option to 5 seconds so the button displays and then 5 seconds later the
project pauses to wait for the user to click the button.
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 a user moves the
mouse over the button.)
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.
Stop slide audio when clicked
Select this option if you want the slide audio to stop playing when the user clicks
the button. This option stops only slide audio, not background audio. Also, only a mouse click on the button stops
the audio; using a shortcut key combination does not stop the audio.
Double mouse click
Select this option to allow users to double-click the button.
Show hand mouse cursor when over button
Select this option to have the pointing hand appear when the
mouse pointer rolls over the button.
