Adobe RoboHelp 8: Why Doesn't My Skin Show Up?

I am trying to assign a Skin to my project in WebHelp, but the option to select a Skin is disabled. Why?

 
Answer:

Show the Properties of the layout. You'll see that you have selected 508 Compliant Output. Skins are not 508 compliant and are automatically disabled if you select the 508 compliant option. I would recommend that you create two layouts, one compliant and the other not. In the non-compliant layout, you'll be able to add your skin.

Adobe Captivate: How Do I Get My Text to Speech Options Back?

I'm using Adobe Captivate 3 and I'm not yet that familiar with  the software. I have created an eLearning lesson with a custom Flash menu. We inserted this Flash menu at the start of the lesson, and I created different click boxes that "Jump to" specific slides. We have a total of 100 slides. Here's my problem: when the user reaches a particular slide and then goes back to the main menu slide, I'd like a box to become visible and highlight the lesson they were just on. Is this possible in Captivate 3?

Answer:

Nope. However, Captivate 4 supports advanced actions and allows for objects to be hidden by default. The objects can be forced to appear via actions. This is the kind of cool Captivate feature that I cover in my advanced Captivate 4 class.
