Software Simulation training instructions with the clickbox

Hello, I am using Adobe Captivate Software simulation and had a question about the instructions that come up for the training. The instructions (Click here, etc...) only come up when the user hovers over the click box. Is there a way to make the instruction appear on the slide regardless of where the user's mouse is?

    You point at the Hint captions in the Training mode? I could suggest a 'cheat'. I always replace captions by shapes (Preferences, Recording, Modes). You can make the shape as big as you want (covering the slide) and use the aligment options for the text.

    Hello Lilybiri,

     

    Thanks for the quick response. Yes, I am referring to the Hint captions. I want them to be visibile on the slide regardless of where the user's mouse is. Right now, they only fade in when the user hovers over the clickbox area, which is generally pretty small. When I go to preferences, it looks like I am in demonstration mode and then I click the "Use smart Shapes instead of captions box." Is this what you are referring to? It looks like the hint captions still don't appear on the slides.

     

    Thanks again for the help

    I believe I see what you are talking about now. I went into training simulation under preferences and checked add text captions and use smart shapes... I recorded something and now a hint text box appears. Is there a way I can edit my existing software simulations to include this, rather than re-doing all of them?
