    I don't understand 'different text', what do you mean?

    Simplest way would indeed be to turn the image into a button (see my previous answer) and use the Rollover state (which is InBuilt) to insert the text. But you talk about different text?

    Hello !...

    First of all, if you want a clear answer, you will have to tell us if you want your animation played on a computer or on tablet. (The roll-over option is not available on tablets...)

    And it will be easier if, instead of a roll-over, you use a click on your image to display the texts. In this case the advanced action is what you will need !...

    So... This a simple way to do this...

    1./ First of all, insert your image from the library :

    And put it on your slide.

    2./ Add a smart shape and make it transparent. And use it as a button :

    Then put this smartshape over your image, so your image could be clicked !...

    3./ Add your texts on the slide, and make them non-visible :

    And give them a name (Text_1 and Text_2 in my example)

    4./ Select your smartshape (added in 2./) and as it's used as a button, add an advanced action on it :

    5./ Write your advanced action :

    First give it a name (Show_Txt for example)

    And select show => Text_1, then show => Text_2

    That's it !!...

    Your texts will appear when you click on your image !...

    There are in facts many other ways to do the same... (using the different vews of the same image for example...)

    Have fun with Captivate !...
