Hello,
 I am a CBT/E-Learning Developer looking for a way to author Guided Help. I am 
thinking of how to develop interactive tutorials that, instead of using 
screenshots of an application, interact with the application itself. 

 For instance, let's imagine that a person is working in MS Word and doesn't 
know how to save a file. He can click the icon for the "Saving A File" lesson, 
and a caption displays on top of MS Word that reads something like "Click 
FILE", along with some type of indicator of the FILE button, such as an 
outline, highlight, arrow, etc. The user clicks FILE, the File Menu drops down 
in MS Word, and the next step of instructions is displayed. In this way, the 
usre is guided through the steps of saving a file as he actually performs the 
task in the software.

 Can Director create this type of thing?

 Thanks a lot,
 Mike
