Highlight more than one area of slide at same time

I am using Captivate v4.
When I want to highlight something on a slide (e.g. a section of a screen shot) I like to use the Highlight Box with the "Fill outer area" option as this really does have a visual impact and "draws the eye". This works fine when you only have one section to "highlight".
What this wont do is allow you to highlight two or more areas of the slide at the same time, as the "fill" covers all other highlighted area.
My question is...any tips or smart/proven methods as to how to "highlight" multiple sections of a slide at the same time that draws the learners eye to the sections you want them to concentrate on ?
I can always just put a highlight box around the items, but was hoping for something with a little more impact as you do get when using the "fill outer area option".
Thanks in advance.

Hi Noel
I've done exactly that on several occasions. And I've done it using the technique Lilybiri describes. You need to grab a screen capture of your image, then apply the formatting using something like SnagIt, Photoshop or any other image editing tool. Personally I use SnagIt for something like this.
Then you insert the modified image. I generally use Rollover Images for mine.
Cheers... Rick

  • Using more than one front panel at the same time

    I have a main program where I can call sub vi’s and then the sub vi’s front panel opens.
    I want to use/see/operate more than one front panel at the same time. How I can do it?
    For example when I close the main program it won’t close before I close all the sub vi’s front panels.
    I use event case to call these sub vi’s. Can I close all vi's using one button?

    I wouldn't use subVIs for display, at least not if you plan to have them open all the time. Instead, I would suggest that you have one loop with a FP VI which will talk to the FP all the time and will pass to the data to the other loops through a variable or a functional global.
    Then, you can use a tab control to organize your display. If there is no specific reason for not having the graphs in the same VI, you can use a tab control to organize it. If you can't, you can also use subpanels to display the VIs and put several subpanels in your VI.
    If you still want to display the VIs seperately, you can control their positions and sizes through their proerty nodes, but I don't think there's any reason for this.
    To learn more, I suggest you read the LabVIEW style guide. I think it has some tips about application design.

  • Using more than one input device at the same time

    Is it possible to use more than one input device at the saem time in logic express. For example I have a fire wire input device and a usb input device can I get Express to recognize both of these at once and so have a total of 4 ins which would be great since Im transfering tracks off my ADAT and it would be less track to have to line up.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    yes, it should be possible by creating an aggregate device. Google for it or search this forum. There are many tutorials how to set it up.
    Have fun!

  • Importing more than one Memory Card at the same time

    As a productivity tool for professionnals, Lightroom should allow us to import from more than one source at the same time, as Aperture do.  I have a multiple Flash Card reader, and we cannot import all of them at the same time in Lightroom...
    I know that I can copy them in a folder, then importing them in LR...  But this is time and space consuming  if I want to convert the file in DNG : it's okay if photography is a hobby for you, but when it's your full time job, and  you often import 4 16Gb Compact Flash Cards at the same time, you don't want to waste time to wait the copying process on your hard disk, and then   wait for the "import  and convert to DNG" process : this process require to duplicate the files : RAW to DNG on the same hard disk, instead of Direct copy and convert to DNG from your memory cards to your Hard Disk.

    You can have multiple remotes for one ATV, and one remote for multiple ATVs.
    In our house we have two iPhones and one iPod iPod Touch, all able to control the same ATV at the same time (much to the delight of my daughter who enjoys ousting my music choices for her own).
    Why have iPod touch in each room? Its not a wired remote - its a mobile device. Think of a landline vs mobile telephone - landlines are one per room, mobiles are one per person - that's how an iPod is used, even as a remote - you take it with you.
    Just like a mobile phone, you'd have one personalised iPod Touch or iPhone per person, not per ATV or room.

  • Can't have more than one item on at the same time

    Hello,
    I have a WRT110. I have two wireless notebooks and a wireless printer on a network. Everytime I turn more than one thing on, it makes my connection drop. Example, I will have my notebook on and if I want to print something out, I turn on the printer and bam, I've lost my wireless connection. What am I doing wrong? Its to the point where if my husband is online and I turn on my Ipod it connect to the internet and my husbands connect ends. We keep having to reset router and modem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • I have a desktop PC and a Macbook Pro.  Can I install my CC programs on more than one machine/OS at the same time?

    I'm looking to start using Adobe CC but I use more than one machine in my daily life - a Win8.1 PC and a Mac OSX laptop - can anyone tell me definitively whether I can install the desktop applications for CC on both and sync all my online files to whichever machine I happen to be using at the time?

  • How to allow access to my airport extreme network for more than one wirelss device at the same time

    I received a Kobo Vox ereader for Christmas and have not been able to connect to my home wireless network. It works with unsecured networks and I tested it out at an Apple reseller with their airport extreme netwok and it connects fine.
    It seems as if I cannot have more than one wireless device connected to my home netork at the same time.
    So here is what I did to test this out:
    - I powered off the Kobo vox
    - I shut down my macbook
    - I turned off the modem and unplugged the power cord and removed the cable connection from the modem.
    -  I also unplugged the airport extreme router.
    - I waited for about 15 minutes and then set it all up again and turned on the power to the router and the modem
    - I turned on the kobo  vox (I left my laptop shut down)
    - my kobo vox was able to connected to the internet.
    - I powered up my laptop and it couldn't connect to the internet.
    So, I went through the above steps again and powered up my laptop first and was able to connect to the internet. I then turned on my Kobo and was not able to connect.
    It seems as if I can only have one device connected to my wireless network at one time and that device is the first one to be powered on and connected to the internet.
    Am I missing some network or airport extreme settings...
    thanks

  • Having more than one project open at the same time?

    I have more than two imovie projects that I need to combine and edit.
    Is it possible to open more than one imovie project to the desktop at one time
    so I can drag clips back and forth between projects?
    jim

    Jim,
    No it's not.
    But you can copy and paste from one project to another.
    Or, drag clips to the desktop, then open the other project and drag them in.

  • WRT54G & Comcast - Operating more than one wireless PC at the same time

    First, I want to thank the many advisors and experts that contribute so freely to this knowledge base.  I have read the many insights into Comcast/cable modems.  Because to that I am able to connect one (1) laptop via wireless to my WRT54G which is attached to the cable modem from Comcast.  I had to use "MAC Cloning" to make this wireless connection work.  Happy days!  
    Problem:  When I try to bring a second laptop online via the WRT54G using wireless, the laptop seems to receive all the right information (ipcondig /all) but will not connect.  Internet Explorer presents the "standard error page" rather than my home page.  For example, I want to read my email via laptop #1 and have my wife read her email on laptop #2 - at the same using wireless.  Is this possible? 
    Question: Using the WRT54G and Comcast can I have two or more seperate wireless laptops connect to the Internet at the same time?  Note: I am NOT trying to connect the two (2) wireless laptops to each other.  Just a good old fashion connection to the Web via the Internet.  
    Are there other WRT54G owners with Comcast service that have this functionality? 
    (BTW - I am not trying to bash Comcast.  I am just unaware of a solution.)
    Thank you in advance.

    Adjust the browser settings on the laptop where you don't have Internet...
    Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
    Yes, it is possible to read mails on both the laptops at the same time...Also it is possible to connect to Internet Wirelessly on multiple computers/laptops at the same time simultaneously...

  • Is there a way to restore more than one MacBook Pro at the same time from an image? .

    I restore each MacBook Pro one at a time from an Mountain Lion image on a firewire Hard Drive but each MacBook has to be done one at a time. When I re-image the PC's here at work I'm able to Ghost as many laptops I want simultaneously.
    Thank you

    They are a few different models of the MacBook Pro ranging from 15.4" i7's to 17" i7's. I would use the same models together though when imaging them just like I do with PC's. For example I would Ghost 5 Lenovo T420 Thinkpads at the same time which all share the same exact specs and config. Looking to do the same with the MBP. I have .dmg image of OSX 10.8.1 on a firewire drive which I'm using. I image all my MBP's with this drive, the only downside is I have to do each MBP one at a time.
    Thanks

  • More than one bluetooth keyboard at the same time?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBookPro5,2 (that's the model identifier) and I have some problems.
    Every day I take this thing to the office, plug in a bunch of USB devices and an external monitor. When I go home I unplug them, take the mac home and then plug them into essentially identical devices at home. The ports are wearing out, the connectors are getting sloppy.
    So I'm trying to figure out how to do the same thing with wireless. I don't seem to find anything out there to enable me to use USB devices over bluetooth. That would be ideal, because I've spent quite some time getting the devices I want, and I doubt I'll find equally good ones as wireless.
    One thing that's fairly important to me is a completely split keyboard. I use a Kinesis Freestyle keyboard. They don't make a wireless keyboard, and fully split keyboards seem to not support wireless at all.
    So what I want to do is take a couple of wireless keyboards and hook them up to the same mac at the same time, and hopefully it will behave as though I'm only using one. Meaning, shift on the left and I on the right produces a capital I.
    Does anyone know if this works?
    Thanks.

    I have an answer. I got a couple keyboards and paired them both to the Mac.
    I could put one hand on each and type, but when I hold a modifier on one hand while pressing the key on the other, it does not modify the key.
    What a drag.

  • Can I generate pulse trains on more than one counter output at the same time?

    I have a PCI 6601 card with a BNC 2121 to connect the signals to two devices. The card is used as a trigger for both devices and I want to be able to generate pulse trains on two output channels at the same time, with a time delay between the two. How do I do that in Labview 7.1 Development with DAQmx?

    I feel foolish for not being able to figure this out, but it still doesn't work. Attached is the VI I use now. Counter 0 generates a finite pulse train and I programmed Counter 1 to generate a retriggerable single pulse triggered by CtrOinternaloutput. I still get the same error message: -50103 The specified resource is reserved. The operation could not be completed as specified.
    The same happens if I set the trigger for counter 1 at PFI36 (default output of counter 0) or any other PFI line. If I try a pulse train generation on only one of the counters, both work fine.
    If I try the example in traditional DAQ for multiple counter outputs with phase delay, it works fine.
    Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

  • Can more than one Mac backup on the same Time Machine?

    My husbond and I have one USB HD connected to an Airport Express router and we both want to back up our Macs on the same HD.
    There is space enought (300Gb). But it seems like after my Mac is set up and running TM, his Mac will not event connect to the disk. He can see the disk, but in TM, when he trys to connect, the "on-Off"- button switches to "Off".
    Is there a limitation on one user only?
    Thanks for any help!!
    Sitara

    There is no single-user limitation to Time Machine.
    Are you saying that you can see the TM backup volume in the Finder, you start up TM Preferences, press the Change Disk button, select the TM backup volume, and when you press Use For Backup, the TM slider turns off? And you can't turn it back on?

  • Can I connect more than one iCloud account at the same time to share contacts with s.o.

    Is it possible to use/connect 2 or more iCloud accounts with my iOs device in order to share my contacts with somebody (Account 1) and still have another addressbook for contacts that should not be shared (account 2)?
    The other person should be able to connect to Account 1 too.

    No, you can only connect to one iCloud account.
