Making Text Entry Boxes Work For You
I've been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005. In 2015 I started my own eLearning design company. I began creating Adobe Captivate video tutorials to help promote my business through my YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/captivateteacher. My intention with my YouTube videos was to attract attention from organizations looking for a skilled Captivate developer. This strategy proved successful as I've worked with clients worldwide, helping them build highly engaging eLearning solutions. In addition, my YouTube channel presented another benefit of attracting aspiring Captivate developers to seek me out as a teacher. I now offer online and onsite training on Adobe Captivate, teaching users the skills to build engaging and interactive learning.

In this video, I demonstrate how you can use a text entry box to capture a bunch of text from your users and then display it back to them on a later slide without any display difficulties.

Hi Paul, thanks for the great video.
I was aware how you could store variables in a text entry box and display them and you have shown this very well. Do you know however, how also to report the variable from the text entry box to scorm with a time stamp of the entry? If you check “report to quiz” this won’t work with a normal text entry box, but only with short answer quiz boxes (which cannot write to a variable). If you add this functionality to your video tutorial, it would help many users a lot, because then people can track what people write in text entry boxes.
