Making text copyable during course
Hi
I want to make a line of text able to be copied (for copy and paste) for the person completing the course, however, when viewing a course, I am unable to select/highlight and copy text. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks
Anne
A published Storyline project does not provide the ability to copy text inside the viewing area via the click+drag highlight+copy method. In fact, the only way I am able to do it is by taking a screen shot.
Hmm...maybe if you utilized web objects, it would work? If you had the text in an html document, and then embedded on the slide by way of a web object, it might allow the user to select the text.
A while ago, I had done an example of what Lesley described, see here.
Hi Michael,
This requires creating some html on a web server, yes? If so, is there any way around that?
Could you possibly provide a bit more information as to WHY they would need to copy the information? It is possible that there is another option to this besides copy/paste....
You can very easily create this in Flash and insert it into your project. Attached is a quick file for your reference.
Cheers,
Are you still here Seth? Where do these file get inserted in Storyline output?
Hi all
Thanks for the replies.
Owen, I have a video playing (inserted as web object) on a slide and I want them to be able to copy and past the url in case there are any problems with getting the video to play.
I'll try some of these suggestions - thanks!
I'm trying to do exactly what Michael did--make text selectable so the use can then paste it into a document.
Michael can you share your secret?!
Hi Rebecca,
Michael is still a regular contributor here in the forums, but I'm not sure he's subscribed to this thread so you may want to send him a private message using the "contact me" feature to see if he can share.
