CHAPTER 7
Adding Boxes and Buttons
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 movie 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. Also, you can use text entry
boxes to ask simple quiz questions.
Buttons
Buttons increase the interactivity of your 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.
