Use scroll boxes in your Captivate 2017 project
June 5, 2018
I'm the IT guy for a software company in Kingston, TN but the scope of my job extends into eLearning Development and Customer Service. I've been working with Adobe Captivate since 2016. I love solving problems myself and other users encounter in Captivate and pushing the software to "find out what it can do". I'm currently working on my Master's Degree in Information Technology Management.

There is only so much space on a Captivate slide and eventually you’re going to encounter a passage that won’t fit on a slide. When this happens you only have a few options; use smaller text, bring the passage up over two or more slides, or use a scroll box. In Adobe Captivate, a scroll box is easy to implement and I show you how to implement them in a non-responsive project or a responsive project with breakpoints.

anyone experience a continuous “loading” for the text box?

Thanks.  I am new to Captivate and didn’t know this was even possible.   Thanks so much.

I often use the Scrolling Text interaction to replace a Text Entry Box. Maybe a workflow you didn’t think about yet? That interaction is not ‘interactive’ in the sense that it has no pausing point, nor the ability to be scored. But it has a lot of advantages over the TEB. Have a look at:
