Convert text to hyperlink?

[DarrenFMc]

Hi,

I have asked for this feature for the past few versions of Captivate.

I want to create a childrens course on the English language, and it would be ideal to be able to have a sentence on the screen and then the child clicks on the wrong word etc and then which ever word they choose takes them to another slide.

I want to be able to highlight a word or a froup of words and create a hyperlink that will go to another slide.

Can this be done yet?

Hello,

Put a click box over this word (you can format it if you want by underlining) and give it the action 'on success' to jump to the other slide. Same for group of words. A click box is not visible to the user.

BTW this has always been possible in Captivate. If you want a more direct workflow, to attach a hyperlink like in PPT, please fill in a feature request

Hi,

Thanks for the response again......

I have been using that option of the click box and it does work.

I would like however to be able to show the word change colour on role over etc.....

But I'll check again if I can tweek this.

There exists an interactive widget that allows you to create a piece of rollover text that looks just like a hyperlink:

You still need to set the Success action for clicking the text to open the URL desired.

Is this more along the lines of what you wanted?

Hi,

It would be something close to what I would like to see.

Pity it takes a purchasable widget though.

Be grateful that there now exists a solution at all.

If you want this feature in Cp6, ask for it here: http://captivate6ideas.ideascale.com/

I've asked for it since Captivate 3, so I suppose I'll ask for it again and we shall discuss this again after Captivate 6....7

If someone has created a widget for this then there is obviously a need for it so it might get in at some point
