Hello. I entered a text box into a blank screen. I cannot edit the text box. When I click in the text box, I get a hand and am unable to type in it. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks-

    I suspect that you have confused a text caption (or a shape as text container) with a Text Entry Box. A Text Entry Box is an interactive object: this means that the learner can enter text when the course is published, and that entry can be validated. A TEB, similar to a button, a click box, a shape used as button, has two events: Success and Last Attempt (only when a limited number of attempts is allowed).

    If you want to show text in course, insert a Text Caption or a Shape. Any shape can be used as text container.

    Thank you!  I am sure that is exactly what happened.  I just went in an inserted a rectangle and applied my text to that and it worked just fine.

    I greatly appreciate your help!
