Previous Button Disabled

Hi - I am trying to figure out how to enable my previous buttons on my slides.  They are disabled and when I went into player, it says "free" so I should be able to go back and forth with previous and next, correct?  Any other ideas? Thank you.

  • I believe the “Free” setting on the player only applies to the menu - not the previous and next nav button. 

    Is it possible for you to share your story file here or post a screen cap of your triggers panel?   There might be a trigger that sets the previous button to disabled on each slide. If this is the case and you don’t want the prev button disabled, you will have to delete these triggers.

      Hi - I was able to figure it out. Thank you.

      Since I have you to respond right now, how do I use the motion path to
      perfectly send a text box to a corner where all of the text is still
      visible? I keep trying and cutting off my text

      Thank you - Anne

  • Hi, Anne.

    When working with textboxes and motion paths, here's a little trick: add an outline to the textbox. When you move the red dot (end point), it will show the shape of where the textbox will be.

    You can then remove the outline once the placement is correct.

    I hope this helps!
