Does anyone know how to make this?

Hi Captivate community,

Maybe someone knows how to make the following: I have a text entry box where a student needs to write his thoughts about a certain topic on one slide, I need to make the answer from this box to appear on another slide. 

Can somebody tell me how to do it? 

Thanks in advance,

Sergejs

If you do not have to score that TEB, I would prefer to use a Scrolling Text Interaction.

However with a TEB it is possible as well (proivded you make it large enough and turn on the playbar). What the learner types in that TEB is automatically stored in the associated variable. If you kept the original name (not recommended) that variable will have the same name as the TEB.

It is a user variable which you can insert in any text container (shape or caption) later on, using the X button in the Character part of the text properties.
