In demo mode with add text captions selected, text captions are not automatically adding on mouse clicks.  Why is this happening?

Can you show Preferences, Modes, Demonstration? Are you sure you captured the software simulation in Demonstration mode?

Thank you for your reply.

Additional info:  As I click on different items during recording I do not hear the camera snapshot sound, and Mouse trails are not showing in the editing window.  Also if a dialog box takes a while to open normally Captivate will compress that time so that a 30 wait will only last 3 seconds to open.

And the whole recording session instead of creating multiple slides it create one whole slide for the entire recording of the steps.  The version of Captivate 7 is 7.0.1.237 on Windows 7 64 bit.

Here are the settings.

I see what happened: you did not create a normal software simulation ibn Demonstration mode, but a video demo. That results in a pure video, with an extension cpvc, and can only publish to mp4. If you want the classic simulation 'cptx format) you need to choose either Automatic or Manual, then choose the mode(s) that you want to capture.
