Hello Everyone,
I have a quick question concerning my Toolbook training settings. It isn't too big of a deal just rather annoying really. But, every time I press the F3 button to go from Author to Reader view my titles at the top of my pages seem to reset to the same thing that is on the last page of my training. For example the title of my last slide is, "End of Training." So, when I click to view the whole training in Reader level all the slides will say, "End of Training" even though that is not the title I set for them. So, I'm not sure if it is something I did wrong when creating my text field on the Background slide that keeps wanting to reset the titles, but I have to constantly retype my titles every time I switch views. I know it might be some simple setting I need to fix, but please help!
Thank you for your time,
Tristin

Hi Tristin,
It sounds like you are using Pages from the Catalog and that the titles are
resetting to their property values. If you see % signs like %TopicTitle% and
so forth, those need to be set in the property sheets. The Topic Title is in
Properties for Page - General Tab. The Chapter Title is set after you click
the "This page if the first page of a chapter" on the Properties for Page -
Behavior Tab and then type in the Chapter Name. The Lesson Title is set in
the Properties for Book - Summary tab.
I hope this helps,
Jeff Rhodes
