In demo mode with add text captions selected, text captions are not automatically adding on mouse clicks.  Why is this happening?

Can you show Preferences, Modes, Demonstration? Are you sure you captured the software simulation in Demonstration mode?

Thank you for your reply.

Additional info:  As I click on different items during recording I do not hear the camera snapshot sound, and Mouse trails are not showing in the editing window.  Also if a dialog box takes a while to open normally Captivate will compress that time so that a 30 wait will only last 3 seconds to open.

And the whole recording session instead of creating multiple slides it create one whole slide for the entire recording of the steps.  The version of Captivate 7 is 7.0.1.237 on Windows 7 64 bit.

Here are the settings.

Thank you.

I tried Automatic  in training mode  and custom.

see below:

Using the same setting outlined on previous screen shots.

and no text captions showed except for one.  The recording is not recording from the beginning.  But I do get mouse trails.

This is basically what I want to do.  Record a simulation with text captions on items I click on.  Later I want to add some narration.  Since the last software update the software has not been operating the same as it did.  I am wondering if I have to reinstall the software.


You are inserting simulation slides in an existing project right? On the previous screenshots you showed me the setup for a Demonstration mode, now you captured Training mode which has a lot less text captions added than Demonstration mode: only Hint and Failure captions are added for Click boxes and eventually Text Entry Boxes, if you kept the default settings.
