Attempts [#] Specifies the number of times the user can attempt the question before the specified action takes place.
By default, the number of attempts allowed is infinite. To specify a number, clear the Infinite check box and then click
the numeral associated with the Attempts option.
Infinite Allows users an unlimited number of attempts.

• If you select Open URL Or File or Open Another Project, click the inverted arrow icon next to the URL or the
Project field to select the window in which the URL, file, or project appears. Select from Current, New, Parent, and
Top. If you choose New, Parent, or Top, you also have the option to continue playing the original project when the
URL, file, or project opens.
• If you select Send E-mail To, you have the option to continue playing the project while the e-mail message is
prepared and sent.
Shortcut You can specify a keyboard shortcut for the mouse-click. Users can use the keyboard shortcut instead of the
mouse. For example, suppose you select Control+Shift+Enter as the keyboard shortcut for the mouse-click. The click
is treated as correct (a click within the box) when users press this combination. If they press the wrong combination,
it is treated as a click outside the box.
Note: If your Adobe Captivate project is displayed in a browser, set keyboard shortcuts that do not conflict with common
browser shortcuts. For example, F1 is frequently used as a keyboard shortcut to display Help. The Control, Alt, and Shift
keys map to the Control, Option, and Shift keys on Macintosh® computers, respectively.
