In Articulate storyline I am capturing entering text into a word document. The text entry screen where I am simply typing '2013' into a word document, is blank on the slide and when i type in 2013 it does not recognise the text entry so will not move to the next slide.
How do I get it to capture the word document in the text entry screen( so it is not a blank white oage) and how do i ensure it recognises when i have typed in '2013'??
Thanks so much for your quick reply. Yes this does what I want it to do. Can you explain step by step what you did? Does the user have to hit enter once they have entered the correct text? can it not recognise the correct text has been entered and just carry on automatically? Cheers Mark
1. Insert>Data Entry>Text (I suppose you could use "number")
2. Make sure it is only one line tall. In other words, make it a long rectangle, not a square. If the text box is more like a square with multiple lines, it interferes with "enter" moving things along.
3. Creating the text entry box automatically creates a trigger that will adjust a variable to be the value of whatever the user types in there.
4. Create a trigger that advances the user to the next slide when the enter key is pressed with the condition that the data entry box variable is whatever you want it to be, in the case, 2013. Here is a screenshot of that trigger:
As far as advancing the slide without hitting enter, I'm not sure is that's possible. Maybe someone else has an idea how to do it, but I would have to experiment a few things to see if it's possible.
I haven't tried it but maybe you could set it to advance when "Timeline Ends" instead of when "User presses Enter." Would still need the TextEntry condition.

I think does what you're trying to do. If so, I can explain what I did.
