Question

Can't record in Training Mode, only Demo Mode. Please Help!

I need to record in Training mode but Captivate is recording in Demo mode. I changed the mode in Preferences to Training and also changed the mode to Training on the box that pops up when I select "Record new Software Simulation".   When I play back the recording it's in Demo mode.  When I go back to look at the Preferences, the mode has defaulted back to Demo mode.  I am using Adobe Captivate 6. Please help.  Thank you!

    Common misunderstanding since many versions. Mode in Preferences is only to set up the three modes, not to choose a default mode. That is chosen when

    you start recording, I will always recommend to record immediately in the three default modes.

    Lilybiri, thank you for replying.  I have tried your suggestion and selected all 3 check boxes and I get 3 tabs after recording (demo, assessment, and training).  When playing back the training, it runs through as if it is a demo......does not give me a chance to type anything in.   Could it be something with my settings?   Another weird thing that is happening is the text is just popping in the fields and not showing each character being typed in (this is happening in both Demo and Training).

    Image 1:  Here are the options I chose after going to   File>>>Record New Software Simulation

    Image 2:  I chose the "Settings" box in the picture above and got to the screen below.  I choose "Training Simulation" as the Mode and click "Okay".  If I immediately go back to "Settings", the mode has changed back to "Demonstration".

    Image 3:  Here is Captivate after recording in all 3 modes.  When I play back the "training", it plays through as if it is a demonstration.  It does not give me an opportunity to type any text in myself.

    Okay, I fixed the settings back to what you have above.  Now it is no longer just running through as a demo when I select the training file.  I am using version 6.0.  I'm not getting the text entry box to type the text in.  The text is just popping in when I click into the field.  I'll continue to research and mess around with the settings to try to correct this.  If you have any more suggestions, please let me know.  Thank you for your help so far!


    It could be CP6 where those issues existed, not sure. What do you have: a Typing object?
