In the On Success dropdown menu, select what you want to happen when the button is clicked. In the Styles Name dropdown, select, as shown below. With the button selected, click on the Actions tab in the Properties Inspector. Remember, if you can't see the Properties Inspector, double click on the button. You will then see a button on the middle of your slide. Next, go to the Toolbar and select Interactions>Button.

The highlight box will appear on your slide, as shown below. To insert a highlight box on a slide, go to Objects>Highlight Box on the Toolbar. Highlight boxes grab a viewer's attention. If you have a lot of content on a slide, a highlight box can direct the viewer's attention to the area of the slide where you want it. Simply click on a new pointer to select it. By double clicking on Mouse in the Timeline, you can change the type of mouse pointer in the Property Inspector. You can also change the mouse pointer type. You can also go to Modify>Mouse, then choose an option. To edit the mouse path, you can drag the mouse cursor on the screen. Remember, this looks like an "I". Using this method, you can move the mouse path to a different location on the slide.

In addition, we also mentioned that you can edit the mouse path once you're finished recording. This section of the course will teach you more on how to do that. Whenever you record in Adobe Captivate, every move you make with the mouse is also recorded. We saw that earlier in this course when we recorded our actions in Notepad. You can preview the mouse click by clicking the Play button. You will then see a new dropdown menu appear. Select either Default Entry or Custom from the dropdown menu. To show the mouse click, check Show Mouse Click. Select Single Click from the dropdown menu, as pictured below. Put a checkmark beside Mouse Click Sound.

This is especially true if you're creating a demonstration of a software program or application, because it helps to guide the viewers along. Sometimes it's helpful to include the mouse pointer, as well as the mouse click sound, to further guide your readers. In this article, we are going to discuss some of those tools, such as mouse effects, pointer paths, and highlight buttons. Instead, you want to create an eLearning lesson or course, and you need more than just content on a slide. You need tools that enable you to guide and to teach your viewers. You will want your project to have more to it than just content on slides. If all you were going to include was content on slides, you would be fine with using PowerPoint to create a presentation.
