Create interactive simulation - user selects text

I'm new to Captivate and I hope I'm just overlooking something simple. I'm creating an interactive custom recording (using Word) where I've inserted click boxes for users to click the appropriate buttons. But now I need them to select certain text. Is there a "select text" object for this?
BTW, aside from watching videos, is there a overall tutorial I can reference?
Thanks!
Tara

There is no capability in Captivate for the user to drag across text in a simulation. My suggestion is that you place a click box over the text on the background graphic, tell the user to double-click the text instead of dragging to select it, and then use this action to jump to another slide where the text is shown as selected.

JTextPane, Selecting Text and Applying Styles

Hello,
Anyone encounter this situation? I have a mini word processor application that I have written using the RTFEditor kit and a JTextPane. To change style, e.g bold, font size, font face, etc, one can select text and then click a button or select a menu item. That part works fine. The styles are primarily changed by using the Action classes provided in the javax.swing.text.* package.
The problem is, that if a user selected text of more than one style, all of the text is automatically converted to the style of the first part of the text selected, without the user even eanting to change ANY style just yet.
If anyone knows why this might be happening I would surely appreciate it.
Thanks,
acal

Solution to the style appling problem...
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
        if (flag) return;
        if(e.getSource() == boldButton)
            SimpleAttributeSet attrs = new SimpleAttributeSet();
            attrs.addAttribute(StyleConstants.Bold,boldButton.isSelected());
            applyStyleToSelection(attrs);
            editorPane.grabFocus();
            return;
public void applyStyleToSelection(AttributeSet attrs)
        int start = editorPane.getSelectionStart();
        int end = editorPane.getSelectionEnd();
        DefaultStyledDocument doc = (DefaultStyledDocument) editorPane.getDocument();
        doc.setCharacterAttributes(start, end - start, attrs, false);
        StyledEditorKit styled = (StyledEditorKit) editorPane.getEditorKit();
        MutableAttributeSet mas = styled.getInputAttributes();
        mas.addAttributes(attrs);

How to create Selection texts in a generated program

Hi there,
Can anybody give me any hint of how can we create selection texts for any selection screen element where the selection screen itself will be generated via some other program?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Deb.

Hi debkumar,
1. The Important thing is
NAME of the screen element.
eg. name is XYZ.
then we can access it in program like this :
%_XYZ_%_app_%-text = 'Hello Sir'.
(Please note the FORMAT - Its important)
3. try this code (just copy paste in new program)
IT WILL CHANGE TEXT OF RADIO BUTTONS
WHEN PUSHBUTTON IS CLICKED.
REPORT abc.
PARAMETERS : abc RADIOBUTTON GROUP g1,
xyz RADIOBUTTON GROUP g1.
SELECTION-SCREEN : PUSHBUTTON /15(25) pb USER-COMMAND pp .
ABC, XYZ
AT SELECTION-SCREEN .
IF sy-ucomm = 'PP'.
%_abc_%_app_%-text = 'Hello Sir'.
%_xyz_%_app_%-text = 'How are u ?'.
ENDIF.
regards,
amit m.

Create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box

HELP!!! Can anyone please provide some guidance on how to create a dynamic form where selected text boxes appears, based on options chosen in a drop-down box.
I have a form which – based on the department that's selected from a drop-down box – will have different form fields/text boxes, etc, made available.
Is this possible in LiveCycle, if so, can you please provide the script/info - as needed.
Thanks,

In the preOpen event of the second dropdown list you put something like (in formCalc):
if (dropdown1 == 1) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("Year, 2 Year, 3 Year")
elseif (dropdown1 == 2) then
$.clearItems()
$.setItems("3 Year, 4 Year")
endif

Problem selecting text in PDF created by MS Word for Mac 2011

I'm viewing PDFs in Adobe Digital Editions 4.0, and when I try to select text, the text that actually gets selected is 1-2 lines BELOW where the cursor (I-bar) is located. This makes highlighting text extremely difficult. This only seems to happen with PDFs that were created in MS Word for Mac 2011 and viewed in Adobe Digital Editions.
If I try opening the very same PDF file in Adobe Reader, the cursor highlights text just fine. If I open it in Preview, it works fine too. It just won't work when viewing the PDF in Adobe Digital Editions.
System: Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite
I have not been able to find any info on this issue anywhere, and if anyone knows a fix or workaround, I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks; this last reply came closest to 'solving' the issue. While I selected font sub, it at first had no affect on the document.
I then went back to prefs and set the compatability dropdown from 'Custom' (where it had defaulted) to 'Word 2004-2007', assuming these docs were created from a recent past Windows.
I 'Saved As' a Word for Mac " .docm "
Whoa... the extensions mean something. Your original problem (document shows bold, italic, underline, but tables and other complex formatting are lost) sounds as though the document was being exported as a .RTF, a Rich Text Format file. If you save as a .DOCM, that's a Word Macro Enabled Document. Regular Word 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011 docs are .DOCX. Regular Word 97 through 2004 docs are .DOC. You need to save that document as a .DOCX or a .DOC or you're gonna have problems later.
- and the documents appear normal (though I had to switch one to 'Portrait' as it for some reason wanted to display in landsacpe.
Normally you'd have to select page orientation.
So, poor testing on my part. I have no idea which of the above steps fixed it but I'm guessing the 'Save As' to my version of Word.
If so, it would appear the 'Compatability' feature was not working at least on these two documents.
Word's compatibility feature is supposed to ensure that a document you produce is compatible with the target version of Word. If you turn the compatibility stuff on then you will be warned if you are using Word 2007 through 2011 and you use a feature that earlier versions of Word do not have. Microsoft shipped a translator which works with Office 2003 and 2004 and which allows Word 2003 or 2004 to read Word 2007, 2008, 2010, or 2011 documents (.DOCX) and to save them as Word 97 through 2004 documents (.DOC) _as long as they don't have any incompatible features_. Word's compatibility features doesn't do much for .RTFs or for .DOCMs.

How to block user create personal view and select ALL VIEW?

How to block user create personal view and select ALL VIEW?

Hello,
>create personal view
To restrict creating personal view, you need to modify your existing permission level or create new one. Login with admin account to your site and open role.aspx page (http://siteurl/_layouts/role.aspx). Then click on existing permission or add new permission
level-->and move to "Personal Permissions" section-->uncheck "Manage Personal Views - Create, change, and delete personal views of lists" option. Later you can assign this permission to all users, whom you don't want
to allow to create.
>and select ALL VIEW
Since SP does not supports view level permission directly so you have to use custom solution or use below designer solution to restrict user to open any view.

How to create the request for change of selection text into other language.

Hi,
In my object requirement is that when login through Japanese language, then on selection screen selection text should appear in Japanese language. For that I have maintained the text in Japanese language the program where we define the selection text there from translation I have maintained the text in Japanese but while maintain the text it didn't ask me for REQUEST, because of that I am not able to transport the changes to next system, so I want know how to create the request for this case.
Thanks

Hello Chetan,
You could goto the selection screen texts by goto-> selection texts,
Then you could again goto -> Translation
or
Other-> Translation(Not sure )
Then double click on the Program you should be able to see the Texts that need translation, now change something save and come back and try to activate, now it should propose for a new Transport Request.
Either create a new transaport request or give one that you have given for the program.
Hope the issue is resolved.

Faliure text in interactive simulation

Is this possible,

hi,
disregard. I figured it out

Firefox 4 will not let me select text in a pdf I have created - wasn't an issue with ff3 or iexplorer.

I've printed webpages from firefox 4 to pdf using bullzip or pdfcreator and I'm unable to select text or search for text in that pdf. Print to pdf in any other browser and I don't have a problem.

Possible to create a Message Box in response to end-user selecting "cancel" or "block" after clicking a link to a URL?

Hi all:
When an end-user clicks a link/button to connect to a URL, the security dialog automatically appears giving them the options of "Allow," "Block" or "Cancel". Should they select "Block" or "Cancel," can we trigger a message box informing them they blocked or cancelled the connection?
With traditional message boxes, we're causing them, ie
var rtnFromBox = xfa.host.messageBox("Information is missing.\n\n Are you sure you want to continue?", "Missing Information",1,2);
if (rtnFromBox == 4){
xfa.host.messageBox("Okay, we'll keep going.","",1,0);
But with the URL security dialog, we're not calling it from a variable - it just happens.
I guess a similar question could be applied to a "Save" button. Where if the end-user selects "cancel" on the "Save As" dialog, a warning could pop-up reminding them to save soon.
Thoughts? Thanks!
Brian

Radz,
I didn't think so but figured I'd ask. Thanks for the response though!
Best,
Brian

Any way to create a simple report selection menu for end user?

Hello. We purchased two full versions of Crystal Reports 2008, version 12.3.1.684. One copy is for me, where I create reports and the second copy is for an end user who runs them. I would like to create a basic menu so when he starts his copy of Crystal Reports it will open with this simple report menu. Is there a way to do this?

I would suggest you invest in small viewer tools for your user. The viewers can house the reports you create and your user can view them without accidently affecting the design structure of your report. With some viewers, you can even customize the report menu. You can begin with this website:
