Jill, thanks for the links re doing this "manually."
My question for Articulate: how is this reconciled this with accessibility? Those w/visual impairments or reading difficulties might need a larger text size. Is there a plan to implement this within the Player soon?
If I understand your questions correctly, you are asking whether a button on a slide can open/close the menu on the player. I am not aware of any way to do this, but if you want more of a menu "on demand," you could place the link menu on the topbar (left or right) - this way learners can click it to open or close it.
You can also insert your own player tabs where you can use a trigger to open, for example a menu you've created in a lightbox.
Here are a few links to explore to see if they will point you to a solution that will work for you:
Hi Articulate & everyone. I see the last post here was entered a year ago. Any new thinking, developments, options? I guess I kind of thought that the issue of making Articulate modules accessible to people with visual impairments would have been thought through by now given disability-related legislation in USA (and here in Ontario, Canada where it is a provincial rather than federal matter.)
Even as a person who once-upon-a-time worked with people with disabilities, I have been blithely creating Presenter modules without paying attention to this issue until recently asked to do so (and a very reasonable request it is). I don't mean to be critical, just alarmed that we (including me) haven't really thought this through in a systematic way yet...unless it has happened since the post above.

This is not an option at the moment, the text size is fixed. You could add bold or italic by choosing a bold or italic font
Hi again Sinchu!
Unfortunately, you cannot change the font size in the player. You can change the font, but not the font size. Here is a tutorial: http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/changing-the-player-colors-and-font.aspx
If this is a big problem for you, one thing you can do is create your own menu. Here are some links to show how some others have done this:

Hope this helps!

This thread has an example of putting content into a separate scene and then making it available from the player. In this case it is not a menu - but it could be! http://community.articulate.com/forums/p/16090/92217.aspx
Hope this helps!
@ Rebecca - have you put in a feature request? I do hope they make some critical updates soon!

Hey Jill. Good point. Thanks for jogging my memory
