In a text box can I trigger a single word in a paragraph and trigger that one word to play an audio file or a tooltip?

In a text box can I trigger a single word in a paragraph and trigger that one word to play an audio file or a tooltip?
Sorry for a newbie question. I'm coming over from another eLearning tool which can't do that and I need to be able to trigger from single words (audio pronunciations and tooltips) in order to teach a foreign language I'm trying to develop an elearning app for.  Thanks for the help.  

  • Hi Ted, you can put a hotspot on a word to trigger a layer or a audio, video etc. do whatever you like. 

  • If I put a hotspot on a word when it goes responsive will that hotspot stay over the 
    word in the textbox?

      If you only use SL, it will. (Not sure if it still will when importing into Rise.) But I think Phil's suggestion is even better. You can use the hyperlink and change the font format to be the same as the paragraph; that way, they won't affect the reading experience. When users hover over the hyperlink word, it will change to hyperlink format as a hover state.

  • or add a hyperlink which can have any  trigger. Storyline is not responsive so the hotspot will not move

      Thanks. I was following closely. I didn't think I could do it.
