Creating “Help Documentation” within Captivate

Hello!

I need to create a document that displays information to help users understand a software we have here at my work. In essence I want to have something that displays an information box when you hover over an item in question. Where the information box has an explanation of what that particular item does.

I found the use of object “rollover caption” but this aspect doesn’t work in HTML which is where we were intending to do the help document. I save these as an .exe file but it plays fairly small and I can’t zoom in. I was wondering if there was a smarter/easier/more aesthetic way of creating help documentation for our software within Captivate?

Thanks,

Katy

I did this once by creating slides at the end of the course. Clicking to access the help documentation would just jump the user between their current slide and the help slide.
