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.

Ok I restarted the software and selected Simulation on the opening screen

Then choose the following options:

I basically recorded clicking on all the menu items: file Edit, Format, View, and Help

So the recording should have showed the drop down menus appearing.

Unfortunately I got 6 slides with no menu action dropping down and no text captions.

Do you think I am doing something wrong or is the software not operating correctly?


Choose Demonstration, Training and Assessment, not Custim. Repeating again:

only in Demonstration you have those text captions that you want.
