How to make text into button?

Hello!

I'm currently evaluating Storyline as a replacement for Flash, which I've been using to develop e-learning courses for the past decade or so. I've got a couple of hopefully basic questions I'll ask in separate posts.

The first is: In many, many cases I want to use text as buttons, rather than an icon. So far I haven't been able to figure out how to turn text into buttons. I attempted to add text to an existing button then make the button "invisible" by making it white, but the text turned white also.

I'd appreciate some pointers.

Thanks,

- Jennifer
