Captivate 4 - How to create a list with links towards external projects?

Hi,

With Captivate 3, I could easily create a table of contents which give access to others projects (by default that was the first slide that appears).

Now, with the Version 4, I couldn't find the features.The Table of Contents item build a list with the slides of the open projet only.

When I open a project within the Version 4 a project which has been created with the former version (3), the menu disappears without any error message or warning.

In advance, thx

Configuration: Windows XP, Internet Explorer 7.0

    Hi there

    As you have seen, Captivate 4 introduces a total change in functionality with respect to the way the menu works. Now, all you may do is link to different slides. So this means you have to think a bit outside the box.

    One way to achieve what you are wanting is to create a slide that has as its only purpose, Opening a URL. You assign this action using a new field in the Slide properties. On Slide Enter. Then you point your TOC entry to this slide. Of course this also means you will need to consider what happens after the slide that opens the URL is visited. So you will need to exercise some creativity here.

    Cheers... Rick
