Hi, I am a newbie at this. I managed to create a parallelogram, add text to it and set it up with 3 stages. When I preview the slide; in the initial stage, "normal" the text is visible, but during the "hover" and "down" stages the text disappears. I have gone back into the slide to try to correct this but the text stays visible when I click on the different stages. Is there another way to approach this and correct the "button" to maintain the text? Thank you for your help.
If you have created the text box separate to the shape, it will show in normal state, but unless you add the text to the hover and down states, that's why it disappears.
not sure I understand what the issue is. I can see the text on all states, normal, hover and down when I preview the file.
You are working locally by that I mean not from a network or USB drive...that can sometimes muck up how you see things. Also that your DPI is set to 96DPI
try publishing your file and see if it renders ok...or also, try creating a new project file and import your slide into it and see if it makes a difference.
I was able to recreate the issue you mentioned. When in the hover state, the text disappeared. There was an additional text box on top of the item in the normal state. I placed this in the hover state as well.
Now, on hover, the text appears. Attached is an updated file. Hope this helps!

Here's one I prepared for someone else.
Yell if you don't get it - or upload your slide
Wendy,
Thanks. I’ll try this. I thought I had done this but will go back over it again.
Best regards,

Let me know if you need any more help
Hi Wendy,
Maybe it is my computer. But when I go to preview and hover over the tab and then click that tab, the word “resort” disappears.
In this screen no problems.
But in this screen I lose the word resort, when I hover or click

Hello Niomi!

Emily,
Thank you so much for your help. I will need to be careful about extra text boxes.
Glad to help Niomi!
