I’ve created a New Mini Lesson on How to hide/show objects using the Actions Editor. This is definitely a beginner-type lesson, but new ToolBook users will appreciate the quick lesson. http://www.toolbook.com/kb/P5311

New LiveXtensions tool – Voice Recording Summary

ToolBook 10 users will now find that their LiveXtensions tools list will include a new Voice Recording Summary tool. This will quickly summarize for you which pages contain voice recordings, let you know if the Voice Recording is currently enabled or disabled for each page, and show you where the actual recording source files are located. It will even tell you if the source file is missing for each recording.

So check out your LiveXtensions feature in the Tools menu to find this new tool.
