Hi there
Based on what you are describing it would seem you need to adjust either the pause point or the transition. Sounds like it's faded out because you have a fade in and fade out effect on the certificate object and the pause is stopping in the middle of the fade out or fade in.
Cheers... Rick

Hi again
Check to see if the fade effect is turned off for the OBJECT, not the slide.
Cheers... Rick

Hi Madeleine,
After reviewing your .cptx project, I was able to fix the fading of the certificate by moving the "PauseMeNow" widget to 1.0 seconds on the timeline. I suspect what's happening, is that the image is doing a fade in... even though you've told it not to. And the PauseMeNow is at the beginning of the slide so it's pausing during the fade sequence. Moving the Pause widget to the 1.0 second mark allows the image to fully fade in before the pause. Thanks for allowing me to see your project and I wish you success on your training!

@Lieve - Yeah, seems odd that so many folks opt for arcane ways to pause a slide. I mean, really? A widget to do what a Click Box or a Button can do? I fail to understand the reason. Unless, of course, the widget creator failed to understand how Buttons or Click Boxes work.
Cheers... Rick

LOL, I'm shocked to hear you say that!
Why? Because I view the forum changes the same way the Captivate overhaul was when version 5 was introduced. I and others had horrible trouble adapting to the new ocean of gray interface and tiny colorless icons.
Yet you and Rod and others thought it was the best thing since sliced bread because it finally looked identical to the other CS apps. And now the forum is the same way and you are complaining about it?
Couldn't resist teasing you... Rick

Sorry Lilybiri, the print widget is static I forgot to answer that one. The reason I couldn't use a button on the page is because it was the course cerificate and I wanted the pages default to be pause, I also didn't want to print the button as well as the certificate - I couldn't see any other way of doing it without the 'PauseMeNow' widget which works a treat. Clearly for those who are familiar with the features of Captivate this wouldn't be an issue but for me as a newbie it was a life saver

Hi folks
Just to clarify what Andy suggested:
Click Boxes are always transparent. That's why I never use Transparent Buttons. I always opt for Click Boxes. But by saying "transparent Click Box" I see a hazard of a trap many folks fall into. The trap is that for objects in Captivate, there is a "Visibility" check box.
By saying "Transparent Click Box", folks might mistakenly conclude that they need to clear this option in order to create a Transparent Click Box. And that move would cause them to shoot themselves in the foot, as it would hide the Click Box and the slide would not pause as expected.
Cheers... Rick
