Hi,

I am using Captivate 5. Anybody knows how to insert a hyperlink in a text caption? For example, the texts in the text caption are "See Adobe Captivate Forum for details." How to create a hyperlink for "Adobe Captivate Forum" which leads to the forum website?

Thanks,

Helen

There is no tru hyperlink object in Captivate as such.

You can use a button or a click box to provide users with an interactive object that when clicked will call a URL or document.

However, this doesn't really give you a mouse rollover effect the way users are accustomed to seeing in normal web hyperlinks.

If you really want to add a piece of on screen hyperlinked text (with rollover effect) to a Captivate project, the closest you'll come to it is this widget: http://www.infosemantics.com.au/hyperlink

Can anyone tell me how to add an email link into a created flyer using Adobe express or how I can make a link go onto a flyer so that the link can be activated off the flyer for response?
