Hi Walt,

Yes in mine it did go full screen - again it's dependent on what you're recording and how it's reading info from the browser you used. 

If you misspelled it while recording, you'd need to rerecord. If you misspelled it while entering it in as a user, you'd need to allow for more than one attempt in a test mode style scene to get the "try again" message. 

As for the password box, that is the  next slide - so once the user has entered information into this text entry it does advance them.

    Good morning Ashley,

    I am sorry that I'm having so much trouble with what I believe is something easy.

    So after I enter your email in the text box, what should happen?  Should I press "enter", "submit", "tab", or click on the password field?

    Also, how does articulate 'know' that I misspelled the text in the box?  Is it storing my keystrokes somewhere and runs a validation on what was originally entered versus what the user now has to enter?  If so, where is the original text keystrokes stored?

    I hope you can see where my confusion is with this text entry.

    Thanks again!

      I guess I just need to revisit Captivate because this shouldn't be that hard to understand, right?
