• Is it possible to change the formatting of all the text captions in a project?

  Hello.

  I am wanting to change the following formatting options on all text captions in my projects:

  Caption type

  Police

  Font size

  Font color

  Spacing of

  Is it possible to change this for all text captions, or do I have to change them individually? I tried to change the options in the style of the object manager, but I think that works only for when you create a new text caption, not for those that already exist.

  I use 7 Captivate.

  Thank you.

  Depends: you are using the default style for text captions? In this case, you can change the default style in the Style of the object manager and applied it to all legends.

  Or you can edit a text caption, and in its properties panel choose the option "Save changes to existing style" of the upper part of the menu right (see screenshot). Both methods will work if you did not override the default Style of a legend to these legends. ATTENTION: Quiz objects can use another style.

  

• Changing the text captions change the time setting

  Hello
  
  I've edited a text caption in the text of the Caption dialog box and closed with the OK button. The duration (the caption text dialog box > Options tab > calendar > display for :) changed even though I didn't change it.) Someone had this problem? I looked at the help file but found no information.

• Text caption appears in "Edit" mode but not in the preview of project or a Web browser

  I use Cp4 and have downloaded Adobe Flash 10 Active X, it's worm 10.1.82.76.  I added a simple text with the following caption:

  Calendar view: rest of slide

  Appear after: 2.0 seconds

  Transition effect: fade in only

  In:.5 seconds

  And Visible is checked

  I'm also a single line I have drawn with the line drawing tool and included an arrow at the end of it.

  Everything on the screen works including the click box, animated text, and the legend of the failure.  For some reason any caption text and arrow do not appear except in "Edit" mode.  In preview project, they disapper, but the click box, legend of failure and animated text work fine.

  I rebooted, copied this screen in a new instance of Cp4, recreated these objects on a freshly registered screen, chose the order: face, created a new brand completely from scratch screen and downloaded the above mentioned version of Flash 10 Active X.

  They is funnier, is that works of legend and boom of text very well on other screens in the project.  I have 76 total screens.

  I am running Windows XP.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You can post a screenshot of what looks like your Timeline?

  Chances are that your click box is a break in a weird place.

• Text captions appear not to when you view classes in the browser or exe editing.

  I've timed certain text captions to show at some point in my demonstration. They show when previewing in Captivate, but not in the browser or when published as a .exe. They have worked in the past, and they are working on slides, but not all. It is a long course created by me, so that I reuse a lot of objects and for some reason it won't display the caption of text on some slides when in fact the course.

  The properties to ensure that they are visible and that there is no transition, the legend is on the top layer as well.  I honestly don't know what can disable captions of text appearing on some slides.

  Thank you for you support!

  You have an interactive object to the beginning of this slide which is pausing the slide before your legend should appear.  This is probably why it is not executing.  The blade is paused.

• Edit the Caption Text properties

  Hello

  If you have multiple areas of text on a slide caption is it possible to change the properties of all the text captions at the same time?

  Hello

  It is one of the new features in CP5, but that does not help you at the moment.

  Some properties can be changed for a selection of Legends: size of the legend, using the menu line up, you need to resize the same size (and works well). The first object selected (with the white handles) will be the 'model' to resize.

  If you want to change the fonts or their attributes, it's a little more complicated. You can try to apply changed property on all the legends of the slide, but it still does not work completely. Just tried to 4 legends on a slide: police and the size has been changed for all, but not the color. It is interesting to try it though.

• Need help for the button to trigger on the text caption effect

  Hello world

  I work in

  

  on a Mac (chart below)

  

  I'm very new to Captivate (only my second week), but am familiar in other Adobe programs. I'm trying to get a dynamic object that I made in a button to trigger an effect on a text caption. I scrolled the forums here and tried various things of the advanced actions for just using the drop down menus in the property inspector and nothing that I tried gives me the result I want.

  Here is a screenshot of what I'm working with.

  

  What I want to do is for the arrows for the buttons (and they are currently). When the slide appears first I don't want that image and the arrows visible. So when the user clicks on the arrow, I want the effect I chose (spiral) that will be triggered with the corresponding text.

  Looks like my property for each caption Inspector (the names are different for each)

  

  And I also tried to write a few advanced Actions that follow as well as tutorials that I found online, and nothing gives me what I want.

  When I preview the slide I can see everything on entry and then when I click the button to apply the effect. I rechecked the advanced actions and usually when I try these nothing happens at all.

  Is - it there anyway that I can get that works this way, I'm wanting. It seems that it should be simple and I'm right on it.

  The shape of buttons are all pause at this moment, it's OK.

  I just tried it out and see what you mean. The text is there from the beginning, and that shouldn't be the case. you expect it not to appear when the button is clicked. I have never used this spiral effect myself, but since you have no control over it, I mean you can't see where starts the effect at all, there is no visible path you have with the other effects of the entry. Either, you need to create a custom, effect whose path begins with text outside the scene, or a combination of an Alpha to + a standard entrance effect.

  Tried the first one with a simple left to a straight path. I edited the paths so that they all start at the same position horizontal and end at the same horizontal position. So happy with the leaders and Guides that we finally got in Captivate, they are very useful for this type of design:

  

  It's the chronology:

  

• Problem with the smart shape in reactivity text captions

  I have slides with many text captions, which are all intelligent forms with text inside them. Tips on how can I prevent the text to be cut in small breakpoints would be greatly appreciated.

  I tried different settings but nothing works well. I prefer not to manually edit and resize text captions to each breakpoint.

  You have configured by the styles for forms in the management Style of the object to change the font size in each breakpoint? Regarding the size of the form how do you define Position Panel for these forms? Do not be naïve, Jay, a sensitive project needs much more time to create. You will have to edit three situations instead of one, but the right settings can save time. I know that marketing is an another story

• Spacing problems with the variable in the text captions and smartshapes

  Hello

  I am using Captivate 7.0.1.237 on Windows 7.

  I created a questionnaire that is customized with the last screen showing a message of congratulations and the total score. The total score is variable. The legend appears on the "Edit" mode. But when I publish it as a SWF, spacing stops to the variable.

  Here's what it looks like in edit mode:

  

  Here's how it looks in the browser (F12 and published modes):

  

  I inserted the variable using the accordion Format. What I tried:

  • The simultaneous use of smartshapes and text captions
  • Different browsers (FireFox 24, IE 11, Google Chrome 32)
  • Typed content in Notepad and copy it to the legend smartshape and text.
  • Typed content directly in the legend smartshape and text.

  I get the same result in each scenario.

  Please notify.

  Try to remove the Red extra formatting.

• Text captions are not displayed on the calendar settings after publication.

  Hi all

  I use Adobe Captivate 4. I have provided at different start times in editing for 4 text captions settings. When I saw my slide, it shows well. But when I publish and try to see, it's only dsiplaying that the first legend text and other text captions are not displayed.

  Request for help in this regard.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  so, the question I ask is you have a button or box click on the slide? (I'm guessing that you do)

  Buttons and click areas normally pause the slide. My guess is that you have one that is pausing the slide before the other legends were lucky to appear.

  See you soon... Rick

• Any way to make the default text caption stick?

  Hello

  Is it possible to change the legend of default text in a specific font and size.  When I record, it works very well, Captivate keeps my 18-black police.  But when I manually add text captions, the size goes back to another font size of 10.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Sorry to be a little late, I work with Captivate 5 all the time now, almost forgotten some features in CP4.

  The default layout for the text captions that you chose, is possible for text captions that appear during capture. I think you point to editing, preferences, default record?

  When you manually add text captions, there is not such a value by default (as it is now with the object to CP5 styles) but you can achieve your goal in two ways:

  1. Change the TC first you want, CP has a memory and all following captions that you add will have the same layout. This function even memory when you open a new project, the last remembered formatting will be applied.
  2. If you want to change the layout of all the existing legends (but this does not always work perfectly), try the feature "apply to all".
  3. Create a template with properly formatted text captions and use it for your projects
  4. Apply a design template.

• editing the text in the string does not change the distorted text!

  I have the text in a basic text box. I applied a string in base to give a higher arc. Okay, now I want to change the size of the text.

  I select the text and reduce the size of text in the character palette - nothing happens.

  I double click on text box that isolates the text, double click again to select the text, drag to select all the text, then reduce the size of the text in the character palette. the Red preview reduced but when I click, the distorted text is always the same size as before!

  I'm sure that just by clicking on the text and by reducing the size of the text (in the character palette) worked before...

  Try the object > envelope distort > edit content.

  The size can be changed by editing the envelope (the text is always dimensionnera to the size of the envelope.

• Hand cursor on the 'Next' button and text caption error reversal

  I have a template that I have to respect. It has buttons back and forward with a stationary state.

  I need an on-screen text entry field to simulate the text before the user in a form field.

  If you click on the next button and the field is empty or incomplete, I want an error message to the pop-up window. If the text box is filled correctly the next button moves to the next slide.

  Unfortunately, I need BOTH the hover state and hand the cursor on the next button.

  
  

  Ive tried a few scenarios and here is an example of one:

  -Add a text entry and remove text entry button

  -Add the text caption called errorMessage

  -create the variable called nextButtonIncrement
  

  -create a conditional action called checkTextCaption to run at the entrance to the screen

  -button next increment of 1 when you click

  -action checks to see if the button is a literal 1 or more, and if a legend of appropriate literal text (i.e. text).

  -If true, go to the next slide

  -If false to see the error message

  
  

  The problem with the above is that the error message appears when you enter the slide. I just want that it is displayed when the user clicks Next AND the legend of text entry doesn't have a MESSAGE in it. Im trying an AND OR a conditional action, but I am, I was wondering if anyone knows if I'm wasting my time or not.

  Looks like you're on the right track, but you have debugging in the details.

  Your back and next buttons must be advanced a conditional Action running that first checks the current value of the variable associated with ETB to check that it is not empty before performing their assigned back or other action.

  Each TEB inserted into a default Captivate project will also be a user created variable that has the same name as the name of the ETB (let's say for now it is called var_TEB).  As soon as you start typing the text in the TEB, the associated variable is assigned to have the same value (combination of keys for typing).

  Now if you want conditional action to ensure that the BER has a value before you move to the next or previous slide, then you must also create a user variable and NOT add a default value.  You will use this empty variable (we'll call it var_NULL) in your condition of conditional action.

  If your condition will be errorMessage SHOW something ELSE looks like IF var_TEB is not equal to var_NULL then go to the next slide (or previous page depending on whether it is the button Next or Back you use).  (Make sure you have the errorMessage value variable is NOT visible in the output, otherwise it will be visible as soon as your timeline starts.)

  If the condition is to ensure that the variable associated with ETB is not empty before running the jump to slip, it will SHOW you the legend of hidden error message.

• Text captions do not transition on the slide, despite the settings of the timeline.

  I have a slide that needs two sets of bullets to appear, one after the other.  I staggered them on the timeline, so that one appears and then the other.  No matter what I do, only the first text caption appears.

  The first value arise only during 10 seconds.  The second is to appear within 12 seconds.

  The slide is "Continuous" on enter.  I even gave the Transitions text elements to see if it would help.

  No matter what I do, that a second never appears... and one never goes away.

  They are all at the top of the timeline - nothing's hiding nothing.

  What Miss me?

  What is this video? How did you test? Preview or after publication.

  You have two buttons on this slide that break at 1.5seconds. The user must click one of these buttons to release the read head. Until it is by clicking on the read head will stay there, and only 3 of the top text captions will be visible. When clicked, the playhead will continue.
