Captivate 5: how can I create a hyperlink within a slide that links to an internet site?

Hi.
I need to create a hyperlink on a slide in Captivate 5 that links to an internet site.
I cannot seem to locate this function on the menus in Captivate 5.
Can someone please give me the instructions on how to do this?
Thanks.
CB.

Hi there
It's unfortunate that you missed the links we tried to put where you would find them before you even posted. Because if you had read through them, it would have saved you from having to post your question as it is answered there.
Even though you missed the links, I'd heartily encourage you to read through them. Especially the Frequently Encountered Issues link, as it will also address some issues you will likely encounter with linking.
Cheers... Rick

How can I inset a hyperlink within a sticky?

How can I inset a hyperlink within a sticky so that it can be clicked on and link directly to the hyperlinked site?
Using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, version 9.0 running on Mac OSX version 10.5.6 with a HP 2840 printer

Dick --
I ran into the same hyperlink issue with some of my PDF documents that were signed, precluding any changes. After exhausting avenues in Acrobat, on a whim I typed an updated path in Word, made it a hyperlink, then copied the link and pasted it into a sticky note. Wonder of wonders, it worked. Who'd have thought Word is actually good for something other than writing letters?

How can I create additional "Sent Mail" folders so that I can organize my sent mail along the same lines as the inbox? I use Mail v 4.5

How can I create additional or sub "Sent Mail" folders so that I can organize my sent mail along the same lines as the inbox? I use Mail v 4.5.

Thank you for your reply Don, but I had already gone through that procedure and it will only create new mailboxes for received mail. I want to create new mailboxes for sent mail, i.e. the first column being "to" not "from". Under the Mailbox menus there is an option "Use This Mailbox For" but all the options under that (including Sent) are greyed out. Unfortunately the View/Columns option to change from "From" to "To" changes all mailboxes not just the active one.

In preview how can i create an hyperlink annotation

I've upgradetd to mountain lion and i'd like to create a Link annotation on my PDF using Preview, but i cannot find the right tool
The Help says:
Click Annotate in the toolbar, if you don’t see the annotations bar.
Click Link in the annotations bar.
but i cannot find the "link" tools anymore.
Any hint?
Thanks

Preview used to be such a useful application, why has Apple removed so many functions?
1. Can't create a white box to white out an area - no way to remove the shadow.
2. "Save as" is back in Mountain Lion version but hidden behind the alt key
3. There is no hand function, so only possible to move the image around awkwardly via the scroll bars, or by drawing lines (sic)
4. Can't insert hyperlink text
5. Worst of all for me, it is no longer possible to "print selected pages". That was how one could:
Select exactly the pp one wanted to print - given that page numbering in pdf documents is often quite different from that in the view.
Create new pdf documents by selecting various images or pages and then saving them as a new pdf document in the Print menu
Create new pdf documents of just the pages one wanted, again by saving those selected in the Print dialogue.
Why has Apple wrecked such a useful application?

How can i create a hyperlink to individual emails?

I would like to be able to create a hyperlink to click through to individualk emails. I plan on creating a simple database in Excel and would like to be able to instantly access individual emails. I have done this in the past with files stored on my harddrive. It's a really useful way of managing thousands of emails.
Thanks!
Nick

thanks 'a brody' - i have found MailTags as a 3rd part app which may do the trick. in the past i have resorted to saving pdf print outs of mails to a hard drive and then using a hyperlink to the file. it just doesn't seem very elegant (this solution can be useful where i then share the database with colleagues using the same networked drive).
i can't imagine i'm the only person trying to categorise and track leads - perhaps i need to bite the bullet and source a really good CRM app?

How can i create a hyperlink annotation on a pdf file using preview? the tool is removed from the toolbar

It seems that the tool to create an hyperlink on a pdf file is removed from the toolbar!

In order to initiate printing by clicking a button, the button has to have either an "execute menu item" type action or use the "print" JavaScript method. As you guessed, the former won't work since there are no menu items to execute, and the latter can only work if the particular PDF viewer you're using supports it. I'm not aware of any that do on iOS.
The button doesn't appear because you're probably opening it in the default PDF viewer, which doesn't support forms at all. If you were to open the form in Adobe Reader, you'd see the button but it wouldn't work.

How can I create a hyperlink at the end of my video?

Hi everyone-
Is it possible to create a hyperlink (or clickable URL) at the end of my video in Premiere Pro? I'd like to be able to have some simple language to an end card reading, "To learn more, click here" with a hyperlink leading to a relevant website.
(I know there are ways to do this in YouTube with Annotations, but this isn't my question. This video will not be hosted on YouTube.)
Thanks!

As noted in the other reply, this isn't done through the video editor. It's something that needs to be available from the hosting service for the video ... and handled through that end. The sort of command that says "at this point in the timeline clicking on video gets this reaction ... ". So check with whatever "service" will be hosting it for the details of how they handle this, and then you would add the text into your video at the appropriate moment in "time" ... but it would actually be the command system of the hosting service that would have the actionable command.

How can I create a hyperlink directly in the navigation menu using iWeb09?

I would like to add a URL to an external page in the navigation menu of my website using iWeb09. I have not been able to change the URL automatically generated by iWeb09 for each new page. The best I can do is to select text or an image that I want to link to the external page. I would rather create the hyperlink directly in the navigation menu. Is there a way of doing this?

Try this...
Create a blank internal page named "Link" (actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that "Link" page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://www.externalpage.com"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
...Once published, clicking on "Link" in iWeb’s navbar will immediately redirect to the external page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).

How can I create an installer for my project that can work on 32-bit Windows if I have 64-bit Windows Vista?

Hi,
I made a LabVIEW project that works perfectly and made an installer for it. I tested the installer on my own computer and everything worked well. The goal for my installer was to put it on multiple computers. So I tried to do this on another computer that has Vista 32-bit and it told me that the installer can only run on 64-bit computers. I tried to choose to install run-time 32bit and it did not change anything, there was still a message to tell me that this installer only can be ran on 64-bit computers. How can I make an installer that works on 32-bit computers?
Thank you.
Solved!

The code will have to recompile, but yes it should work. I recommend making a backup before proceeding just in case.

How can I create a DVD (not CD) slide show with PSE8. Is the only option CD?

Do I need to upgrade to PSE9 for the DVD option for slide show output?

No, you can't create a video dvd with just PSE, and PSE 9 is no different from any other version where this is concerned. (Adobe wants you to use Premiere Elements.) However, if you have a DVD burner, you must have gotten some kind of software with it that can make a DVD for you. Create your slideshow, output as WMV and then use your other software to burn the actual video disc.

How do I create a hyperlink within a Powerpoint slide?

I am admitted newbie with Captivate (in fact, I am using the 30-day trial). I have a .ppt presentation that has existing hyperlinks to outside websites. Just clicking on the links within Captivate does not seem to work. I read in a forum where I can create a click box (or a button) and use that to go to the desired URL. That works fine, but I have a problem when the slide reaches the end of it's default time (e.g. 3 seconds). At that point the "URL" clickbox no longer works, and clicking on the slide simply continues to the next slide.
What I want is to have the student have the option to click on the link if they want to, or to click anywhere else on the slide to continue on to the next slide...at any point in the slide's timing. Is this possible?
Many thanks.
Richard

Hi,
This is possible. If you observe the timeline, you will see a clickbox. This is used to navigate to next slide when user clicks anywhere on the slide.
Similarly you can insert one more click box (shift-ctrl-k) and place it on top of the hyperlink text. In timeline, this clickbox should be at the top. We call it "top in the z-order". Configure this clickbox to open a hyperlink as a new webpage.
Also make both the clickboxes start at same time position. See the sample image below where timeline shows two clickboxes starting at same position.
Hope this helps.

How can I create a form with a button that adds a new page of fields to fill out?

Hi,
I have a one-page form created in Acrobat Pro 9 that contains five fields for a user to complete. I'd like to give the user the option of adding a page with the same five fields to fill out. The user finishes those fields, presses an "Add a Page" button, and then gets another page to fill out, and so on. When finished, their PDF form might be 10 pages long, at which point the user can save it as a single PDF file. Is this possible to do in Acrobat Pro 9 or 10, and if so, how?
Thanks,
Andrew

When I created a new template like you told me, I wasn't given the option to rename the fields. See screenshot below. I'm just given the option to add a new template. Changing it refers to changing the template to a different page.
If you can show me how to have the fields renamed automatically or use the rename parameter, I think that should fix it.
Under Tools>JavaScript>Document JavaScripts, I've added a Script named "PackagingArtwork".
// Here is the code
function PackagingArtwork()
{this.createTemplate({cName: "PackagingArtwork", nPage: 5});
// Here the code that spawns the template
var PackagingArtworkArray = this.templates;
          var PackagingArtwork = PackagingArtworkArray[0];
          PackagingArtwork.spawn(this.numPages, false, false);
This is what the JS debugger said.

How can I create a buffer, array or pipeline that stores the last 5000 dates of a voltage measurement with PCI6036 & SCXI1104C and continously drops the last date and inserts the latest date (scanrate 200 or 2000Hz)?

I develope a porgramm for continious monitoring. If the voltage of a channel exceeds or is lower than the upper or lower limit of tolerance the actual date must be stored and additionally the dates being stored 10sec before and after this event. Can somebody give some advice how to create the buffer to keep the dates 10s before the error event? Thank U.

I've written you a quick array buffer vi. I'm not sure if it'll be fast enough though.. Try it and see! I've used the loop numbers in my array, but i'm sure you can feed in the dates instead.
