Caption Interactivity

When creating PC Executable, Autorun CD or Presenter output, captions
don't have to be limited to displaying information, they can also become an
interactive part of your show.

Caption Interactivity creates active links from your captions. Just like links
on a web page, interactive captions let you perform a special action when
the user clicks on them. These links can be clicked on to skip to various
slides in the show, send an e-mail to an address that you choose, open a
website, and more.

Any caption can become interactive. You just need to assign an action to it.

How to Create Interactive Captions
1. Open the Slide Options for a slide to which you want to add
Caption Interactivity.
2. Click on the Caption Settings tab.

3. Create or select the caption you want to use in the Captions List.

4. Pick an Action and a Destination, if necessary, for your caption.

Just like a link on a website, once you make a caption interactive, it will
become clickable. When you preview your show, you can see how the
caption will pulse with your selected Highlight color. However, the Action
will not be active until the show has been created.
There are a wide range of Actions that you can use with your captions:

• Toggle Pause: clicking on the caption will pause the show.
Clicking on the caption again will un-pause the show.
