I cannot figure out how to set the correct trigger for my slides when I want to reference the users name throughout the course. It works on slide 1, when I have them use the interactive text entry box and it's triggered to use their name. What trigger should I be using and aside from inserting the correct reference on the following slides, what else should I be doing?
To expand on Bridget's answer, you can use the reference anyplace you can locate text on a slide; in a text box or text on an object, and the reference is replaced by the variable's contents.. You can even place it among other text. Example: In a text box, place this (without the ") "Hi, there, %TextEntry%!" Note the space before, but not after %TextEntry%.

Hi Karen, all you should need to do is reference the variable that's capturing the user's name.
Example:
Slide 1: Text Entry field to capture user's name. Trigger: Set (TextEntry variable) equal to the typed value when Text Entry loses focus.
Slide 2: Add a reference to the Text Entry variable. Example: %TextEntry%.
When you preview your course, if you enter your name in the text entry field, it will display on slide 1 and 2.
