This is probably a really dumb question, but I'm not finding Captivate quizzing
very intuitive.

I'm trying to make a slide with a diagram and 4 blanks where users can enter
labels for different bits. I got as far as using a fill-in-the-blanks question
to create the input boxes, but it creates various other things too. (What's
with the "Fill in the blank text area" which I can't seem to delete?) I
haven't worked out any way to give intelligent feedback at all.

I just want a very simple slide with 4 input boxes and a submit button. The
next slide should then display the student's answers, whether they were
correct, and the correct answers. Is this possible, and what is the best way of
doing it?

Many thanks!

You can use standard TEBs (text-entry-boxes) to gather the users' input, and
score it if his entries match the definition of a "correct" answer as defined
by you, the developer. But really is no "built-in" way to capture those
answers as variables, for later display (or other manipulation).

But your reference to Question slides leads me to believe that you think you
should be able to alter the make-up of the question-slide itself ... and it
can't be done. You might want to make a Request for that ability as a new
feature

I think if you select from the wide array of possible Question Slide formats
(True-False, Multiple Choice, etc.) and use them as intended and designed, you
will find the quizzing to be very intuitive, but if you try to make the
program work as you want, instead of as designed, you are in for frustration.
In any case, good luck.
