Customize table of content

Hi there,

I have a question regarding customizing table of content in Adobe Captivate 9.

Here are the things that I wish to do with my TOC:

1. Display everything in one TOC frame without the scroll bar (our audiences are older adults, we wish to make things easy-to-read for them).

2. Display the titles in full length without folding them (our audiences might not know the trick to "read" the titles when they're folded).

Could you please let me know how I could achieve that?

Thank you so much!

Best,

Su

You may wish to consider building your own custom table of contents. It's a bit more work as you will need to apply several different advanced actions. Here is a video I did showing you how you can do something similar. It might give you some ideas.

Hi Mr. Wilson,

Thank you so much for your help!

I've been watching your videos, tons of them! They are brilliant!

I will carefully review that video you shared with me.

Though I'm not sure, I think what I want might be less complicated,

Here are some examples of the TOC I wish to design: https://sites.google.com/a/ehilll.com/ehilll/

May I please ask if there is a way for me to design a TOC that is similar to the ones shown on the ehilll website?

Those files were created using an older version of Adobe Captivate.

Please let me know what you think.

Thank you so much!

Best,

Su

If you had two or more projects that you wanted to package together like this and were using an LMS that was compatible with SCORM 2004, you could use the multi sco packager, which is included with Captivate to package them up with a similar menu to what your site is showing. While I don't use it myself, I did a video about to answer a viewers question a few years ago. Here's the link:

I'm sorry but the TOC customization has limits. You can increase its width to have more space for longer titles. If you do not want the scrollbar, you'll have to limit the number of slides. Try to have more content on a slide, which will probably request use of advanced actiosn, multistate objects etc.

Hi Lilybiri,

Thank you so much for your insights!

No need to apologize! It's not your fault

May I please ask if it's possible to have two lines of title in one title box?

Also, are there ways (complicated or not) to remove the scrollbar without having to shorten the list of content at all?

My final inquiry is that is it possible to customize scrollbar's color without using the TOC templates?

Please let me know what you think.

Thank you so much!

Best,

Su

What do you mean by 'two lines of title in a title box'?

No way to remove the scrollbar if the vertical needed space is higher than the TOC height. Use a smaller font size for the items in the list.

I don't know of any way to customize the colors unless by using the customisation settings in the TOC dialog box. Maybe some CSS expert could help you.

Why not create a custom TOC, which you time for the rest of the project, using a toggle button to have it appear and disappear?
