Text entry boxes
Text entry boxes are text fields into which users can enter text. Text entry boxes are a great way to test users’ knowledge.
After the user answers a question, Adobe Captivate matches the answer with the answers that you have set when
creating the text entry box. You can even provide a hint to the user if you want to.
