[Web4lib] Macromedia Captivate (formerly RoboDemo)

[Mary Abdoney]

I'm using Captivate to create several database tutorials, and while it
takes some getting used to, it has many great options.  I've been able
to do anything I've wanted, although it has taken some trial and error
to get things to look perfect.  Admittedly, this is the only tutorial
software I've ever used, so I can't compare it to other products.
 
I just found out about Tapefailure, which looks like it offers some of
the basic stuff, but probably not text bubbles, highlights and rollover
captions like Captivate.

Hi all,



Does anyone have experience using Macromedia Captivate (or RoboDemo)
to
create online database tutorials?   What is your impression of the
software?   What other software would you consider for creating
tutorials?



Thanks for your input,
