Indent in Slides not properly formatting

I've got an issue which is probably a simplistic fix, but it's driving me nuts. I've been creating final test slides and have a problem with indenting on some of the bullets. I'm using captivate 5.5, and here is the issue in picture format.
As you can see, the first three properly formatted, the 4th and 5th options came in as different indentions than A-C. We also have a different size font for E.
I'm sure this is something simplistic, but is there something I'm doing wrong to fix this?
Thanks all

I always try to repro the issue, couldn't.
So I wonder if you didn't change the formatting on the first slide, and you could check that by selecting a answer and see if the Default Question Answer Style, that it has not a small + sign which points to individual changing of that answer?
All answers should have the same style. Can you check first?

Phone numbers not properly formatted

I just upgraded to the 4S and most of my phone numbers can't be dialed by SIRI because they are not properly formatted. The numbers that can be dialed are of the form +1-617-nnn-nnnn. The numbers that cannot be dialed are of the form nnnnnnnnnn. I have hundreds of numbers in this format. Any ideas?

Have you tried Settings > General > International to make sure your phone is not set to some incorrect region which might give it trouble interpreting the numbers?

Does anybody has the answer?? plz. help

I have added \n\r at the end of each line. You have probably not raed my question carefully. I have written that the output i get on console is properly formatted, only in the mail the format gets corrupt.

You can also turn off the automatic capitalization if you find it gets in the way too often:

Multiple text boxes on slide not advancing properly

First let me say that this is my very first post - ever - anywhere. I don't even know if I'm 'posting' correctly, so please forgive me if I'm doing this wrong. I am brand new to Captivate (1 week), but am already under a work deadline to produce a CBL. I have built a very simple CBL and it works fine except for 1 problem. My CBL moves forward on its own, but if the user decides to click the 'forward' button on the navigation bar, it advances to the next slide instead of displaying the next text box within the current slide. I want to keep the navigation bar for those who read more quickly than others, this way they can advance the CBL at their own pace. For example, I have a slide with 3 text boxes. Each text box needs to be read in order. The first box appears and after so many seconds the first box disappears and the second box appears. Then the second box stays for so many seconds and disappears and the third box appears for so many seconds and then it advances to the next slide. However, after it's published, the first box appears and if you click the 'forward' button then it goes to the next slide (not the second text box on the current slide). I know there must be an easy solution to this and if I had the time to read more tutorials before my deadline, I'm sure it's listed in one of them. I would appreciate any help you can give me and again, I apologize if I've posted this in the wrong section or did not post this correctly. Thanks so much!

Hello,
Welcome on the forum.
The Next button on the playbar will always go to the next slide (or the previous slide for the Previous button).
If you really want a simple solution: put only one Text Caption per slide, time the slide for the duration of reading that Text Caption. To simulate your present situation, if you have 3 Text captions, put the first one on slide 1, copy it to slide 2 and add the second Text caption, etc. The 'quick' readers can use the button on the playbar to advance but they will be able to see all the Text Captions. Do hope this explanation makes sense: you are really splitting up your unique slide with 3 Text Captions in 3 slides.

WD MyBook Properly Formatted?

I just connected today (via firewire) a 500GB WD MyBook to my iMac to use as an external drive for Time Machine. There was already data on the drive that was no longer needed. When the WD was first connected, it was immediately recognized by my iMac. I indicated that it was to serve as a backup drive via Time Machine. I was also asked to erase the existing data/drive --- to which I indicated yes. Presumably the erase process proceeded without any hitch and the Time Machine started its first backup at about 1.5GB/min.
My question is: Should I assume that the WD MyBook was properly formatted? At no time was I asked to reformat as Mac OS Extended? Was this automatically performed during the erase process?

Why assume when you can know for sure? Select the Time Machine volume in the Finder, type the letter i (eye) while holding down the Command key, & read the format from the "Get Info" window that pops up.
To be sure everything is as recommended go one step further & open Disk Utility & select the parent drive of the TM volume from the list on the left (the TM volume name is indented under it) look at the bottom of the window. The last line of text there will tell you the partition map scheme of the drive. For a drive used only with Intel Macs, this should be "GUID Partition Table." Otherwise, it should be "Apple Partition Map." It should not be "Master Boot Record."

IPod Classic will not properly sync

Hey everybody. I'm really hoping that somebody could help me out with this, as I am getting rather frustrated with it.
My iPod Classic 120GB will not properly sync with iTunes on Windows 7. When I plug my iPod into my computer, I get the typical "Scan & Fix" message from Windows, and I generally just close the window without selecting an option (to Scan & Fix or Ignore), as neither option has ever seemed to change anything.
I used to have over 100GB of music on my iPod, collected from various sources over the past 5 years or so, but a few months ago I plugged my iPod in to add new music to it, and iTunes did not recognize any of the files on my iPod. When I ejected it, there was no music on my iPod, but it still had 100GB of space filled. I decided to just bite the bullet and reformat my iPod, even though I would be losing most of my music, in hopes that I could make it work correctly.
However, after I reformatted it, I have continued to have problems. I have reformatted using both iTunes and the Windows reformatting tool. Every time I plug my iPod in to add new music, the same things happen. I'm not automatically syncing iTunes to my iPod, because I like to be able to manage my music manually. I can add some music to it, but certain files will not copy and then nothing alphabetically after those files will copy either. I eject my iPod and use it normally throughout the day, but then when I plug it back into my computer again to try to add the rest of my music, iTunes says that my iPod has no music on it (even though space is being used). When this happens, I just restore the iPod and try again, and this is getting extremely aggravating.
My music is all in MP3 format, and I am not trying to add movies, pictures, or any other files to my iPod (other than cover art). I have run anti-virus checks and stuff on all of my music files, and everything has come up clean. Should I try converting all of my music to AAC, or will this just take forever and not actually fix anything? I have already tried downgrading to an older version of iTunes, and I have still been having the same issues. I don't know what else I could do, and I really don't have the money to buy a new iPod.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

There may be some hardware fault on the iPod's hard drive, which is causing this problem. Your use of manual loading may be agravating the problem, because you are making the iPod apply many small incremental disk access updates. If you used automatic syncing, iTunes makes all changes at once, with one disk access, then dismounts the iPod's disk and spins down until the next sync, when it again makes all updates at once.
I understand why you want to use the manual method, but here's a way to "replicate" what you do manually using automatic syncing.
Create a new playlist in iTunes. Load this playlist with ALL the songs you want on the iPod.
Select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary). Click on Music there. On the Music tab, set it to Sync music using Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, keep it simple by checkmarking ONLY that new playlist with the songs you want on the iPod. When you click Apply, the songs on that playlist sync to the iPod.
Going forward, to update the iPod's songs, just update that playlist (add and remove songs). Basically, instead of manually updating the iPod, you are manually updating the playlist. It's the same work, but with several key advantages:
- The iPod does not need to be connected to make updates, increasing flexibility and reducing wear-and-tear on iPod. Just connect the iPod once after you are done making all changes to the playlist.
- Updates to a playlist are instantaneous. Updates made directly to an iPod (especially one with a hard drive that may need to spin up) takes a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on data size. You're just waiting.
- Many small updates to the iPod's hard drive is more wear-and-tear, compared to iTunes applying all of your changes with one consolidated disk access.
- iTunes keeps the iPod's "disk" NOT mounted, except when syncing. This reduces wear-and-tear, and the chance of data corruption occuring. The manual method requires the iPod's disk to be mounted at all times (until ejected).
- Because the iPod's disk is not mounted most of the time, you don't need to eject before disconnecting.
- You have a backup of all of your iPod songs on the computer's hard drive.
- If you do a Restore, or if you get a new iPod, all you do is go to the Music tab and select that one playlist again, and click Apply. Everything back to the way it was before, with a few mouse clicks (and 20-30 minutes or so of syncing).
If you want multiple playlists on the iPod, just create those playlists in the iTunes library. Name them so that they all appear grouped together in the iTunes sidebar. Checkmark those playlists on the Music tab. Do your "song maintenance" in iTunes using those playlists, and let iTunes automatically sync all changes at once the next time you connect the iPod (or click the Sync button).
Try setting it up to use automatic syncing, to see if there is any improvement.

My Gen 7 ipod is detected by itunes but not properly recognized

My gen 7 ipod is detected by itunes but not properly recognized. I have reloaded itunes and other trouble shooting, but no luck

Suggest you try the following two steps starting with the first one. If it doesn't correct the problem perform the second step.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Can I install my time machine back up onto a properly formatted external hard drive?

I have a MacBook Pro with a 750GB harddrive, with 500+ Gb of data on it. Just before I traverse to Europe, I did a TimeMachine back up.
I now want to give my Mac to a friend, and buy a AirMac when I get home. Even if I get the one with the largest drive it will not hold the full 500+'back up.
I have an 8 year old Mac Book pro at home as well. It will be a few months before I can buy the new AirMac. So my question is ....
Can I install my current backup on a properly formatted external hard drive, and will it then run like a computer --until I get my new AirMac?
Thanks for your help (and please don't be too tough on me for what may see to de a dumb question)

Quiz questions will not retain format when question is changed.

OK forum folks. I'm working on my first e-learning project and have ran into a problem with question formating. The instructions/help basically tell you to click here and click there. I can easily figure that out. The questions I seem to have are quite a bit deeper.
I have a predefined template which is company approved. I have created master slides in the question pool for both a 4 item match and a 5 item match (I have found if I add a line to the 4 matching line quiz the line spacing and formatting changes). The placeholder questions are essentially non-questions.
I duplicate the master slide in the question pool to maintain the original format (spacing, location, etc.).
I change the placeholder questions on the duplicated slide to the real question (slide is still in the slide pool)
The formatting (font, spacing, locations, etc.) change on the new (edited) questions and require reformatting.I have also tried copying the master question slide to the filmstrip and editing the copied slide questions in the filmstrip. I receive the same results.
Is there are way I can create masters in the current format so I can use the approved templates, edit the questions and not have to reformat the slide after the questions have been changed?
Also, is there a way to lock the formatting of the questions? If I want to add/delete a new question or line to the slide, it would be great to be able to not have to reformat the slide for the change.
I look forward to your answers.
Thank you.

I am trying to deal with the same issue. The master slides are more about background elements and navigation buttons, but they do not seem to allow for the addition of quiz elements.
I have come up with a workaround that I hope will work. What I am doing is creating a new project that becomes my quiz question layout library (Let's call this Project 2). In this project I add the various types of questions I will be using in my project (multiple choice with three choices, multiple choice with five, true/false, etc...). I get all the quiz elements in place for each type of question (the header, question, submit/clear buttons, review area, etc...).
These slides serve as my Master slides for my actual project (Project 1). I can copy and paste the appropriate layout from Project 2 to Project 1 and then change the questions themselves.
I am sure I will find out the downside of this soon enough...
There is no doubt the creation of masters for quiz questions needs work, actually it needs just to exist!

It looks like you have two FROM clauses in the same query, and unbalanced parentheses in the WHERE clause. Perhaps those were editing errors when you posted this message. If you format your code, those errors will become more obvious.

The first thing, is that for your own sanity you should learn to format your code for readability. And for the sanity of those from whom you seek help, you should learn to preserve that formatting when you post to a forum:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE jiostore_new.auditReportCount(
    u_name IN VARCHAR2,
    stdate IN DATE,
    eddate IN DATE)
IS
BEGIN
DECLARE
    Total NUMBER;
BEGIN
    SELECT COUNT(am.id)
    INTO Total
    FROM auditMaster_ AS am
    INNER JOIN jioworld.deviceos_ dvos
    ON dvos.id              =am.deviceOs
    WHERE am.updatedBy      =u_name
    OR am.updatedBy          =ALL
    AND DATE(am.updatedDate)>=stdate
    OR DATE(am.updatedDate) ='0000-00-00'
    AND DATE(am.updatedDate)<=eddate
    OR DATE(am.updatedDate) ='0000-00-00';
    dbms_output.put_line('Total Count:' || Total);
END;
END;
What is the data type of am.updateDate? It appears to be a varchar being passed to a function named DATE to convert it to a DATEfor comparison to your input parameters, But you also compare it to strings.
Where are the variables 'u_name' and 'ALL'? (and what kind of a name is that for a variable -- 'ALL'?)

Modifying layout of Slide+Notes view

I need to print out my presentation in Slide+Notes view for distribution (give lots of add'l information in the presenter notes section). Is there a way to modify the layout of the resulting Slide+Notes format (eg. add headers, footers, modify margins, enlarge 'notes' area, etc.)? Thanks.

Yes ... and this is a nice feature for presenting the slides. Unfortunately, I don't think it will impact the printouts. Thanks for the response!

After eject get: Device not properly put away msg

Hi,
I just solved a problem for my wife. This posting is to help any others in the same situation:
I have a new cruzer usb flash drive. It seems to work well, but I see an unexpected error msg. The sequence:
1) Insert the usb flash drive
2) New icons appear on the Mac desktop: Cruzer (disk drive icon) and U3(DVD icon)
3) Finish use of the drive, close applications, etc
4) Eject the drive using finder
5) Wait a couple of sec, then unplug usb drive from system
6) Problem: then an error message about Device not properly put away is shown by the Mac.
Cause and solutions
This is caused by the usb drive mounting TWO "drives", the "cruzer" drive and the "U3" readonly software drive.
Solutions
1) Ignore the error msg since it concerns the read-only drive.
2) Since the usb drive has two "drives," easy solution is to eject both. Then no error message. Just drag the cruzer disk icon to the trash/eject icon. Then repeat for the U3 icon; then unplug the usb drive from the system.
3) A more complete solution is to re-format the usb drive entirely, replacing its two drives with one. This will also give you access to more of the usb drive. Remember that if you reformat, EVERYTHING on the usb drive will be deleted.
Regards,
Larry

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Thanks for the solution. I see this in 3rd party, such as Motorola, phones as well. In that case though, I would be leary of reformatting the memory card.
The USB is one solid state drive, and it is configured so that it has two partitions.
Your terminology may confuse some folks, especially those of us with a different primary language.

On exit, jump to slide not functioning

Using Captivate V. 6.0.2.325, at the end of slide 19, I would like it to jump backward to slide 6. Slide 19 contains an audio recording, and many buttons that jump to other slides. No matter how I preview it (in web browser or not), the jump to slide function doesn't work, it continues on to slide 20 instead. The project does not have reporting enabled. I tried removing all the buttons and having only the audio on the slide, that didn't seem to make a difference.
Any suggestions on troubleshooting or other things I might be overlooking? Also to note, I tried opening a copy of the project in version 7.0.1.237 for grins. No change.
Thanks so much!

You can insert a text container (shape or caption) with the system variable cpInfoCurrentFrame. Use the X button in the Format accordion to insert the var. Play from that slide, then that variable will start showing the first frame which will be 1. Default framerate (FPS) for Captivate is 30 frames per sec. Check the duration of the slide, and calculate the number of the last frame from that. When playing 'From this slide' - not F3 but F8 you'll see if the last frame will show up.
