Dear All, I am new to Captivate from yesterday. I am trying to use the horizontal accordion from assets library. There seems to be a bug when I select other tabs. the tab text changes to default text "Place first tab title here".
Please see example above. Can I please have advice what to correct and where.
Thank you

Recognize your screenshots to be from the Business Quick Start Project. As Rod points out, Horizontal Tabs is one of the most complicated layouts. It has a lot of grouped objects, and in the Timeline only one group is visible. The reason for the complication is that you cannot move any interactive object (button) without losing its functionality. If you look at Vertical tabs you'll find them some easier to understand but for someone new to the application it can still be overwhelming.
It is a go

You need to view the objects on the timeline for this slide. You will notice that quite a few are hidden (red crosses). Unhide them and you will then be able to edit the text on those objects.
However, be careful as you do this because it is very easy with these templated interactions to break something and prevent the entire slide from working as expected. I suggest that you insert one of these slides into a blank project first and play around with it until you are sure you understand what is happening.

It is a good idea to start by exploring some Ready-to-go slides from the Quick Start Projects. Eventually you may have a look at some of the blog posts I wrote about them. Here are two links but if you use the tag QSP or 'Ready to go slides' on my blog you'll find some more:

Some tips if you want to continue with this specific slide:
Seems rather cumbersome for a new user, sorry about that but repeat that you have chosen probably the most complicated layout in the Ready-to-go slides.
