Fri, 29 May 2009 20:11:01 +0000 http://www.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/?p=731#comment-5774 Great post. One quick question regarding the formatting of notes. Is it possible to change the background color of the notes area in the Articulate player. I tried to do this by modifying the background color in the the notes page in PowerPoint but when I publish, it still gives me a white background. Any ideas? Thanks, Rahmat. Great post.

Then select hide in navigation. This hides the slide from the menu. In the '09 products, you can set the branching to go around those slides so the user never gets to them but for the links. In the older release, I'd put those slides at the end of the course and make clear navigation back to the original slides. If you want more detailed instructions, go to the Articulate forums. There are a lot of good tips on how to do this type of thing. Assuming that you’re using Articulate Presenter, go into slide properties and right click on the slide you want to hide.

I tried hiding the definition slide and it works fine as a slide show but not as a published course. How do I achieve the effect shown in your demonstration?

To answer Kirsten's question, you should be able to edit the XML file for the player to delete the reference to the "notes" but I think the selection box is built into the player swf. So you can get rid of the text, but there would still be a selection box. If you do that, you probably want to save the xml so everytime you publish you can make the changes. Good post.
