Text Area - saving text
  View type:
The User Guide says that text put into a text area will be saved to the specified variable in the Properties Box. When I View Slide and put text into the text area, then move to the next slide and then return,[:(] the text in the text area has disappeared. What am I doing wrong?

It is saved... into a variable and you have to explicitly tell courselab to show it.
Theres a strand on here about this have a look at this

You want the passing a simple variable.

 
 
Forgot to say... The INPUT into the variable is a diferent beast to the OUPUT of that variable.
So if you make an object to capture text into a variable adding another identical object just makes the same, another capture into the variable and not display of the variables contents.
