Visited state not working
In the end, this is how a colleague of mine came to a solution:
- Add the image to the slide
- Resize to 250*250 deselecting the Lock aspect ratio option
- Change picture to shape ---> circle
- Add the states
- Repeat, just add the new text in the visited state before deleting the old cirlcle
- Change the triggers to open the layer when clicking on that new circle
Even if I understand where you're coming from, I do not believe this should happen, even if I copy and paste shapes and images repeatedly. Articulate should take a look at this bug and fix it in a near future, in order to avoid repeating the work.
MarianaEscrzaga​: It looks like you deleted the oval shape from the Visited state and inserted a separate text box.
As I tried to explain earlier, the image that fills the shape in the Normal state appears because the other built-in states are layered on top of Normal.
In this case, there's an easy fix. Delete the Visited state. Then add a new one. Change the fill of the oval to white (that is, to match the background of the slide).
Also, you don't necessarily need a separate text box in the Visited state. You can enter text directly into a shape. Just double-click the shape and start typing.
You can adjust where the text appears by adjusting the Vertical alignment and the Margins in Format Shape>Text Box.
Note: If the text needs to be wider than the oval, that would require a separate text box.
The attached file has the change made in just the first oval. I kept the border, but you can change that to white, too, to make it disappear.
