I created Hotspots on the base layer thinking I could still click on them when on the other layers that are triggered to show but they don't seem to work. I also unchecked hide other layers on the properties.
Do Hotspots on base layer not work on the other layers? I see that you can click on other shapes/objects on the base layer.
Work-around was that I created the Hotspots on each layer but I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible.
That's exactly how I thought it should work but for some reason mine didn't. I'm sure it's something very simple that I'm forgetting. I've attached the file here. Note that I duplicated the Hotspots on each layer as a work-around. I'd like them just to be on the Base layer.
I changed the size of the text box on the base layer so it wasn't covering the hotspots
Then on the layer (I only worked on the Antithrombotics and VTE layers so you can replicate what I did on the other layer. The only object you want on that layer is what is specific to that layer.
Removed all the objects except the text box and only left in the text box the content relevant for that layer...my formatting and placement may not be spot on but you'll get the idea.
Where's the slap forehead emoji? I knew it was something simple/stupid! I was so focused on lining up the individual text on each layer, I forgot I was using one large textbox that would cover the base layer.
The simple things get me. Thanks for solving my mystery.

Hi Mike
Here is a rough example that may help- however without seeing your setup I could be way off beat.
Wendy,

Ha ha no worries Mike, it is the simple things that trip us up - all the best with your project.
