Thanks, Rod. The only way I was able to make the Text Entry boxes work was to leave the Submit button on the slide. Since nothing will be submitted, and there are no quiz points for entering text in these boxes, the Submit button has no real function. But at least its working now.

Concerning the Tab from one text entry box to another issue. I was able to set up the slide to do that -- except for one thing. When the user types in the first text entry box and hits the Tab key, its Submit button is highlighted. Hitting Tab a second time jumps the cursor to the second text entry box. Hitting Tab on the second text entry box, jumps the cursor directly to the third text entry box (not to its Submit button).

There is no different among the three text entry boxes. The settings are identical, yet with the first text entry box, Tab has to be hit twice before the cursor moves to the second text entry box, and Tab is only needed once to go to the thrid text entry box.

Is there any fix to make the Tab key work with just one hit on the first text entry box?

I added scroll bars to the text entry boxes and now the Tab key is no longer working. Is there a way to make the Tab key tab directly from one text entry box to another with just one tab?

Adding to my last post, I'm wondering if the first click is needed to establish focus into the slide itself and the second click is needed to focus on the text entry box in order to start typing.

When the slide first appears, the text cursor is inside the first text entry box. By the time all objects on the slide appear, the text cursor has disappeared from the text entry box and is nowhere to be seen.

It seems to me that the text cursor should stay blinking inside the first text entry box -- that is where the learner needs to start typing. But as I said, the cursor disappears.

I'd be happy to share it with you if you have an email I can send a link to. I can't make the project public for everyone. If you can send me a private message I'll send you a link.

Vish,

One more thing, which I also asked Nimmy about – Adobe Captivate 6 has a playbar called Print, with a Print button in it. I’m not able to print when clicking the icon, even when previewing in the browser. What is the print button supposed to do and how can it be set up to open the Print dialog?

Thanks,

Jay

Vish,

As you suggested, I changed all three TEB to appear at the same time and to pause at the same time. Unfortunately, assigning a different key does not fix the problem. The ENTER key simply drops down one line in the TEB, making a new paragraph within the same TEB. I tried a couple of other shortcut keys and they didn't work.

I prefer the Tab key because that is what people are accustomed to using when filling out forms and so forth.

I also tried removing the Scrollbar. That didn't work either.

I found this blog that addresses a very similar situation, but the blog is old and makes no mention of Pause. I followed the instructions in the blog, and it's not working in Captivate 6.

There must be other people who have needed this exact same function. I hope someone will offer a solution.
