Thanks for your comments about my blog, just uploaded a post that offers you a table with all system variables in Captivate 8.

Thank you all for your help and interest, especially you Liybiri - I guess I'll have to live with the two-windows - they won't allow third-party widgets where I work at, because of security concerns, and my AS3 programming skill is not up to doing a similar widget myself. Living with two windows is not really a bother, it's more like an un-aesthetic solution, I guess. And like Husky, I think your blog is great, too!

I was afraid of that. Thank you for the fast reply. BTW, your blog is great!

This is not available in CP. Only workaround available, limited to SWF output, is the Load and Save Data widget by Michael Lund aka cpguru. It allows to pass variables from one file to another: you could store the slide number/label in such a variable and when returning use that variable to jump to the wanted slide.

I'd like to piggyback on this question. I've been able to open the second project, leaving the first open in another browser window tab. When the second is complete I can close it and get back in the first project where I left it. But that's it, I have no idea how to go to specific slides of a second project based on a setting from the first using just the tools in Captivate. I'm an old Authorware user and it had a "Call and Return" function that worked along this line. I don't see anything like in Captivate.

I have two Captivate projects. I want to open the second from the first, but then I want to be able to jump back to the first on a specific page. For example, I want to open page of the second project from page 6 of the first, but when the second project is finished, I want the learner to jump back to page 7 of the first one. Can this be done?
