Adding an input field to your Adobe Captivate project
Text input boxes are text fields into which users can enter text. Text entry boxes are a great way to test the knowledge of users. After the user answers a question, Adobe Captivate matches the answer with the answers you've set when creating the text entry box. You can even provide a hint to the user if you want to.
