In this blog-series, so far we’ve learned how to create a responsive project, rescale it (if required), add Fluid Boxes to the slides, add objects to the Fluid Boxes, apply background fill, and modify the flow, wrap, and alignment properties of the Fluid Boxes. Now let’s learn how to use Static Fluid Boxes in Captivate 2017.

You can convert Fluid Boxes to Static Fluid Boxes if you wish to place overlay objects inside a Fluid Box. This property will allow you to place the objects on top of each other, or partially overlaid on each other, instead of placing them side by side.

Also, for the multi-state objects, you can use normal Fluid Boxes. But, if you plan to add additional objects to the object states, you will need to convert the Fluid Box to Static.

Watch this video to learn how to enable static properties for a Fluid Box:

In the next part, we will learn how to mark objects and Fluid Boxes as optional in Captivate 2017.

Thank you Pooja! I am pushing all of these videos to my Facebook page. It is only for family and very close friends BUT those friends are eLearning producers who I haven’t been able to get in here yet! I will keep working on them. Until then you will probably keep meeting them at conferences.
