I have a text entry box the user fills out (their name) and I'd like to display their inputted name on the next page. I know there is a tutorial on this. Can someone point me to it?
Although I'm not sure which tutorial to point you to, it is as simple as listing the variable in a text box surrounded by 2 percent signs (%). Variables are used across the whole presentation and are not limited to the slide they may have received input from. So your text entry box will have an associated variable (let's call it textentry1). Just use that variable in a text box on the next slide like this: "Hello %textentry1%," which would display the word Hello followed by whatever was entered in the text entry on the previous slide.

Here is a tutorial that provides info on data entry and references to variables in text boxes. Hope that helps.
Jessie,
