player template problem

Hi Pete,

It sounds like you'd like to remove the "Attachments" tab altogether, correct? You can disable this tab, if you'd prefer, rather than removing the text label.

To do so, click on "Player Templates" and select the "Layout" section in the next window. Toward the bottom you'll seen an option for the "Attachments tab". Un-check this open to remove the tab from your player. 

Review the following to locate the directories on your computer for Articulate Presenter '09 player templates, color schemes, logos, playlists, and presenter bios:

Articulate Support - Location of Presenter '09 player templates, color schemes, logos, playlists and presenters

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

Have already done this. It didn't make a differance.

That check box controls the tab in the left pane, right?

Hi Pete,

I believe, by default, the Attachment tab should show up in the upper right-hand corner of the player. If you're seeing this somewhere else, it sounds like it could be a custom tab.

Can you share a screenshot of what you're seeing? Or are you able to share the file with us, so we can check it out?

Thanks!

I finally figured it out, entirely by accident since this isn't documented anywhere, including "the book".

The icons for Engage and Quizmaker that are on the PPT toolbar open the "Quizzes and Interactions: dialog box. This box is the same for both Engage and QM. It contains a control to create player tabs that appear on the top right of the lesson pane.

They populate the tab on the player template form too, which is why I could not get rid of it from that location. It was pointing to the other field!

One I deleted the information in that dialog box the tab disappeared.

What really confused me was still seeing the tab after deleting the Engage interaction and even emptying the recycle bin. I had completely forgotten about that dialog box in the months that has passed sine the project began and finishing it.

Hope this helps out someone else.

Pete
