Selecting screen area for training simulation

Hello all,
I want to create a software training simulation where a user needs to select a certain area of screen and then click a button. I can show them how this is done, but can not find how to have them do this as part of training simulation. There does not seem to be anything in Captivate that can allow the user to do this part.

If this can not be done natively in Captivate, I would appreciate your ideas for a work around...

I thought of one as...
Instruct user that at the stage you would be selecting a certain area of the screen and then go on to show them how to select the area - ask them to just click the required button and carry on with the rest of the training.

Thanks

    When they select the area of the screen does there need to be some sort of visual recognition like a highlight, or do they need to select it and then click a button like next?

    The selected area shows up with a marquee like marching ants, however, they are not marching -just static (the selected area is not high-lighted) - then user indicates their choice by clicking an OK button.

    In the normal use of the software the user selects a certain portion of text that needs to be extracted - I would like to keep the simulation training as close ot reality as possible.
