Question

Captivate Demos in RoboHelp11

I haven't used RoboHelp for years, but I am evaluating TCS5 for my company. I'd like to ask, is there a way to link a demo into a topic (like "show me") that will only appear if the user wants to view. I can see how to import the demo but it starts as soon as the topic is opened.

Thanks

Two ways of handling this – include play controls in the Captivate output so that it won’t start auto-playing when the topic is opened (best solution IMHO) or create a separate topic, add the video to it and add a link to the topic container from the main “real” topic so that users can click on it if they want.

Thanks Jeff, the “topic” link sound like just what I’m looking for.

Oh, just thought of a 3rd way – place the video (with play controls) in an expanding hotspot.
