A Software Simulation using PPT or Articulate only

 I'm sure there is information somewhere on this, but I can't find it, so I thought I would put this out there and see what I get back.

I'm going to be doing a short software training module and would like to show how to use the screens and then have the user pretend to "do" what I showed them. I don't have any "simulation" software myself right now (i.e. Captivate, etc.).

I know in PPT how to use the hyperlinks and have them click on screen shots and it forwards them along "as if" they were clicking through a program.  But what I would like to do is to figure out a way that I could have the user "practice" filling information into a page.  So I show them how to enter new employee information onto a page and then I would like them to "try it."

I was thinking about Quizmaker, but I don't think that will work since there are many different fields of information that need to be entered on one page.

I would appreciate any thoughts, ideas or links to other conversations about this if they are out there.  Thanks for your help!  - Kendra
