Ordering Paragraphs

Hi All

I wish to make an activty where the user may drag and drop sentences of a paragraph to rearrange it. So the user might be presented a 4 sentence paragraph where the sentences are in the wrong order. They would have to drag the sentences around until the order was correct.

Is there a way to achieve this while maintaing the shape of the paragraph? I know I could probably do something with sequencing, but I was wodnering if I can make it look like the sentences are still in a paragraph and the paragraph dynamically expands / shrinks based on the order of the sentences?

Cheers

    I don't believe that will be possible with Captivate's built in functionality. Dynamically expand/shrink is not possible. Maybe with Javascript, but I'm not an experienced JS-user.

    Thanks Lilybiri. I will have a look at other ways to do it and maybe settle for something not as fancy Thanks for your time.
