How to require text entry

I just did this on my current project, so maybe I can help.

1) Make sure you are using or not equal to blank instead of and with the false trigger.  This does work, so look over the logic just to make sure.  These tend to not work as planned because of one variable that is acting differently than you intended.  Your two triggers:

• Submit trigger - Jumps to next page with variables - create variables that say if textEntry0!= AND textEntry1!= AND textEntry2!=
• Don't Submit trigger- show layer saying you must complete all fields - create variables that say textEntry0== OR textEntry1== OR textEntry2==

You could also try making that slide into a freeform under the insert tab, and that may automate some of it for you.

2) Create a new variable on the first page, like "textEntry0".  Name it, set it to text, and do not put a value.  Then simply type "%textEntry0%" wherever on the next slide to display what they typed.  This could be in a text box, on a shape--wherever.

If this isn't working and you're cool with it, post your project file.
