How do I make a question slide with fill-in-the-blank answer box with 3 chances to answer correctly, pop-ups of "Incorrect. Try again.", "Correct!", "The correct answer is: emphysema. Click anywhere to continue."? This is not a quiz slide, no need for additional related slides or additional answer slide or grade/points

I think you would be better off using a question slide and eliminate the scoring and feedback popups. This way you can at least program it so the user has 3 tries to answer the question.

Then delete the accompanying scoring slides from the project and you should be good to go.

Hello and welcome,

It could be done with advanced actions, using TEB's or the TextArea widget for the blanks.

Thank you for responding Lilybiri. Are you listing three options: advanced actions, using TEB's or the TextArea widget? Or are you saying use TEB AND advanced actions? I am just learning Captivate so Im really "green." A client is testing me to see if I can start from scratch, making my own templates, etc. So I need to make one slide with a sentence with fill-in-blank box for answer as the last word of sentence. I don't even know where to begin getting the correct answer recognized and all incorrect recognized.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

May I ask why you don't want to use a question/quiz slide? It's true that often they can be limiting, but in this case I was able to do what (I think) you're trying to do with a fill in the blank question. (Set attempts to 3, create 3 failure levels, make the first two failure captions that appear say "Incorrect. Try again." while the final failure caption that appears says "The correct answer is: emphysema. Click anywhere to continue.")

Learning to make questions from scratch is very useful (and Lilybiri has loads of really cool custom quiz slides on her blog that do way more than Captivate can do--she's awesome). When a built-in question type works, however, I just use those to save time.
