Prevent from moving to next slide when user mouseclicks on slide

I am working with Captivate 6 in Windows. I imported a slide deck from Powerpoint, with the setting to advance slides automatically. This works absolutely fine. The problem is that when a user mouseclicks on a slide before it's complete  it will advance to the next slide. How can I disable this. There are no clickboxes on the slides showing in the timeline. And Enter and Exit Actions on slides are set to "No Action."

Correct answer daveox2013

I made sure that OnMouseClick was unchecked in Powerpoint, and imported the Powerpoint into a new Captivate project. I made sure on the Captivate import screen Advance slide is set to Automatically. I still end up with the same issue, if I mouseclick on a slide before it is complete it will go to the next slide. I don't know i this has anything to do with it, but I am importing an Office 2010 Powerpoint and am using the "High Fidelity" option.


I've come up with a workaround for the issue I was having. What I did was in captivate I placed a clickbox on top of each slide the size of the entire slide and set the action for the click box to on success No Action. Now users cannot go to the next slide until the entire current slide has played through.

Hi there,

Welcome to Adobe Forums.

Try increasing the slide duration and then see if it is still advancing.

I successfully tested this and it works as intended.

Also what is the exact version of your captivate?

Thanks!

Thanks for your assistance. I am using Adobe Captivate 6.0.1.240 Windows version. I increased the slide duration as you suggested but it had no effect. I can still advance to the next slide just by clicking on it.

Hi again,

Thank you for the information.

Could you please test this on a new blank project?

I believe you have unchecked OnMouseClick in PowerPoint?

I successfully tested this at my end with Captivate 6.0.1.240. I had no clickboxes and OnMouseClick was unchecked in powerpoint.

Thanks!
