Progress Indicators were incorrect

Question

I'm using Captivate 3's "random questions/pools" feature for
my quiz, which is wonderful! However, here's the snag that I
encountered -- I placed a plain slide in the page 1 position, and
placed the quiz instructions on that page 1. The rest of the pages
were "random question" slides. However, Captivate numbered the
first slide (i.e., just the Instructions page) as a question slide,
with it's Progress Indicator at the bottom (i.e., 1 of 28).

I could find no place to turn the Progress Indicator off or
to edit it.

So this was my work-around: I added a regular question slide
to the beginning of the quiz and placed the quiz instructions at
the top of that question slide, and moved the actual question to
the bottom. Then I deleted the regular plain slide that I had
previously used as Slide 1. So now when Captivate starts numbering
the questions from the first slide, it's OK, because now there IS a
question on that slide.

If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.

Request for Adobe: In the future Captivate release, could you
please allow a developer to delete or edit a quiz's Progress
Indicator. Thank you.

Actually there are two insights to this progress indicator problem --

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

1 - Problem may relate to the SEQUENCE in which I developed the blank slide and the quiz slide.
Perhaps my problem was that I developed the quiz question slides first, and added the blank slide to the beginning later. So don't do it this way. RATHER -- To get the progress indicator to number ONLY the quiz slides and not include the introductory slide, I need to develop the blank (introductory) slide first, and after that develop the quiz slides.

2 - Another issue related to my CLICK BOX on that first blank slide, i.e., "Click here to begin the quiz" --
Suresh Jayaraman from Adobe informed me that the Reporting tab of the click box has an “Include in Quiz” option, which I needed to de-select. That solved the problem. : )

This is happening for me as well. I have three slides,and then six random question slides that are numbered 1 of 7, 2 of 7, etc. when there are only six slides.Even if I move them so that all the random question slides are at the start of the file, the same thing happens. I can't get the numbering correct no matter what I do. Any ideas? I'll be happy to send the files to an individual contributor, but am hesitant to post them here. Many thanks for your help.
