I am using Captivate 7 to create a presentation with quizzes. I need to generate the output in HTML. But I have several links to web pages, and these links do not work in the HTML output. (They do work in flash, but we cannot deliver the project in Flash---it must be in HTML). What gives?

    Could you please let me know your workflow to apply hyperlinks.

    Rajeev---

    Thanks for your reply. Uncertain what you mean by workflow, but I can explain how I am doing my hyperlinks:

    • I put in a Text Caption object on a presentation slide and enter some text. 
    • I highlight that text with my cursor, then right-click and click Modify Hyperlink.
    • In the Modify Hyperlink Dialog I select Web Page and then enter my hyperlink in the hyperlink field.
    • For the hyperlink field I set the option to New.
    • I click OK.

    When I generate to HTML or SWF, the hyperlink does nothing when I click on it. The hyperlink does work if I use the preview In Web Browser (F12) option.

    It does work at my end. I tried your workflow. Could you please publish the project and check the published output on multiple browsers.

    Actually, the links do not work in Flash either.
