Adobe RoboHelp Question: Can I Get Links to Display Navigation Paths?
I have a project and some of the topics are linked by hyperlink, but I would like to link them so that they show up as part of the navigation path. Can you tell me the best way to make this happen? Should I link the topics manually? If so, how do I do that?
Answer
You can do what you're asking via breadcrumbs. Simply ensure the topic in question is part of the TOC. Breadcrumbs are automatically added to the top right of your layout when you generate.

Adobe Captivate Question: Customers Don't Have the Player. Now What?
I've developed a bunch of eLearning using Captivate. I just found out that a huge chunk of my users don't have the Flash Player. If I understand correctly, without the Player, the SWFs I publish won't play for them. Suggestions?
Answer:
Instead of publishing SWFs, you can publish Media (EXEs). When you publish in that format, the Flash Player is bundled into the EXE so your customer won't use a browser to watch your lesson, nor will they need the Flash Player (since it will be included in your EXE).

Adobe Captivate Question: What Can I Do About a Slow Progress Bar?
I've been struggling to reduce the delay time after a user answers a question. Even though one gets the "Correct – Click anywhere to continue" button right away, clicking anywhere results in the progress bar slowly moving forward, but the page doesn't advance. This also happens on the results page when you click "Continue". I have the results scored, but not going to a LMS.
Answer:
Set the action to Go to Next Slide instead of Continue. That will take care of the progress bar appearing to take too long to progress through the lesson.
