Captivate 5-Accessibility-how can I make the Quiz questions accessible via keyboard instead of mouse

Hi.

I am trying to build an Accessible eLearning module using Captivate 5.

I can use <Tab> and <Enter >to navigate through the Table of Contents and view slides.  However, I am unable so far to use just the keyboard to access and answer Quiz questions, i.e. True/False, Multiple Choice.

The user needs to be able to select the answer(s) and click Submit, using only the keyboard.

How can I do that in Captivate 5?

CB.

    I tested it on a multiple choice question slide in Cp5 and 5.5.  I only tried Preview/5 Slides so it might be different after being published and viewed in the browser.

    The first one was a Multiple Choice.  When I tab it goes from the question title, down through each of the answers, then moves to the Clear/Submit buttons I have on the slide.  Using spacebar to subsitute for a click seemed to work.

    I'm editing a course that was already used.. I can't seem to get the tab key to move to the question and the possible answers. It goes to all TOC and the submit, clear, navigate buttons. I am new to Captivate. Any advice?

    Thanks.

    I tested the published version on a True/False question, and as you suggested, used the SpaceBar to click.  (Enter didn't work).

    The SpaceBar did allow me to select an answer and "click" the Submit button.

    Thanks.
