Captivate 4: caption box size

I want to create 3 small boxes at the bottom of each screen. The boxes are for an "X" for exit, and a triangle pointing (1) left for "back" and (2) right for next.
When I create a caption box for the X it defaults to 57 wide as a minimum. Is there any way to reduce the size of the box to around 40 x 40 pixels?
Thanks

Hello,
Each type of Text Caption has a minimum size. You could edit one of those Text Caption definitions but I think it will be much easier if you use a rectangle because that will accept text as well (double click in the rectangle) and is much easier to resize.

Text Caption Box not appearing

HI All / Captivate 4 Experts:
I recently upgraded from Captivate 3 to 4. My text caption box is not appearing on certain slides. I do have a click box on them, however when I removed the click box and played the next 5 slides...the text caption box did not appear.
The slides that I have are meant for the user to click on certain areas with the instructions given to them on what and where to click.
Any ideas???
PLEASE HELP!! Thanks!
Jane

Hi there
I happened across a weird issue just last night that was resolved by choosing a different ActionScript version. I'm wondering if you can try this to see if there is a change in behavior.
Click Edit > Preferences > Project > Publish Settings and whatever it's set to AS2 or AS3, try the other option and see if it changes your outcome.
Cheers... Rick

Text Caption Boxes on imported PowerPoint slides

I have imported a number of PowerPoint slides (with an image)
into a Captivate movie. Text is needed on these slides so
originally I created the text on the PPT slides, but when imported
into Captivate the text formatting and spacing was all messed up.
So, I had to reimport those PPT slides with no text. After
reimporting, I used Text Caption Boxes to enter the text onto those
PPT slides. When published, those text boxes display small white
boxes (white is the text color) everywhere I used the space bar in
the text boxes (after a bullet, etc.) The white boxes do not show
when previewing or editing in Captivate.
Is there a way to get rid of those boxes or does anyone know
of any other solution?
Thanks in advance!

You're welcome. And speaking of "thanks", I have copied the
"fix" for the Transparent Caption Style bug from the guy who has
been a great friend and the best source of real intelligence in the
Captivate "expert" community, Paul Dewhurst. Paul deserves the real
"Thanks" for discovering the cure for this irritation ... his
solution is as follows - and I quote:
quote:
One of the Problems Captivate used to have was that if you used
transparent captions then the text in the published movie would
look blurred, In captivate 2 you can fix this problem and have nice
crisp text all you need to do is select
#C0C0C0 as the highlight colour and highlight part of the
text (you can select just one character) this makes the text in the
published movie display nice and crisp and the highlight is
transparent.
I hope this helps - and by the way, you can find other
great tips from Paul on his website at
this link
Have a great day!

Text Caption Box Option

For some reason, Adobe 5 is not giving me the option to change the text caption box to transparent.
Is there any way i can change that in settings? I have already gone throught all the setting options and could not find that option anywhere

Hello, welcome to the Captivate forums,
Do you not have this option in the Dropdown list of the General accordion of the Text Caption Properties panel?

30EA3 - Edit Table/Create Table(Advanced) - Table Name, Text Box Size

I am not sure if its the same on non-Linux versions, but in the edit table dialog, the table name text box size is tiny. Its only wide enough that you can see approx 7 chars.
Is it possible to increase this? The size of the text box in the simple create table dialog seems like a good size. As far as I can tell, it is not tiny to conserve space for other items.
Anyway, it's just a minor issue that wont prevent me from doing work - just think it'd be better a bit bigger. I am sure it didn't used to be this small.

How to expand text box size automatically (and avoid the scroll-bar).

When I enter a box for multi-line text, upon converting to .pdf, a scrollbar appears if the text does not fit into the box. I don't want this. I want the text box size to automatically increase.

Displaying trim box size with Acrobat Reader

I am looking for a way to have Acrobat Reader display Trim Box size. We have many Customer Service Reps and Sales people who receive PDFs from clients and cannot tell what the Trim Box size is except for asking me. I have Acrobat Pro and can easily find the information, but I am tired of being constantly asked. It does not make sense for all them to have Acrobat Pro. Any help is appreciated.

You need to Reader-enable the document, which allows Reader to do things it normally cannot. In Acrobat 9, you'd select: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
In Acrobat 8 it's something different but very similar. Note that some people have reported problems when trying to use an enabled document in a different version of Reader than the version of Acrobat that was used to enable the document.

Eliminate header/captions box on Keynote widget

I have just completed the near final draft of my first iBook.
Among a few vexing issues I have yet to resolve is this one:
I have embedded over a dozen photo-gallery keynote widgets, all as thumbnails. I have eliminated the headers and captions on all of them, but I cannot eliminate the header/caption box around the thumb picture, nor can I make that box exactly fit the thumbnail image. I need to wrap text about the thumbnail images, but the wrap goes instead around the too-large header/caption box and this causes some bad appearance problems. I can deselect the wrap on that box and select wrap for just the thumbnail image, but then it doesn't wrap at all, despite the fact "wrap" is checked in the inspector. The text just falls behind the image.
Can I eliminate that troublesome box? Or is there some way to at least deselect the box and put a wrap that works directly on the thumbnail image?

Luc, I cannot really give you any examples on Amazon, as the only books I was looking for were iBA books. No matter how good, how creative, a print book would have been of no help to me.
I suppose if there is an example on Amazon of how I like to work photos and words together it would be my own work, so I will give you a link to my book, Gift of the Whale. Yet, if Gift of the Whale had been done by someone else and I had set out to do the book I have been working on and had found it, it would have been of no help to me. Not even an iPad app photo book, some of which are amazing, would be of help because they are not made with iBA tools.
After I get a couple of additional iBA books under my belt, I plan to redo Gift of the Whale as an iBook. And when I do, even with the experience of few a iBooks behind me and a clear vision of where I want to go, I will launch another search of iBA books to see if I can get additional ideas about how to use iBA in a creative. My initial experience at asking people for any recommendations was so negative, the response so insulting and condescending, I will be hesitant to ask again, but I probably will.
I think my first book is a little crude and rough, but that's how you learn. Not by mastering first and then making, but by actual making and mastering as you go along. I could work on it another year, easy, but it has a Christmas theme and I want to get it out there now.
As to whether or not I was pushing in an unfriendly fashion, I don't really think so. It is very true that you can examples of where I came on feeling very irritated at a problem I had encounter in iBA, but never unfriendly toward someone who made an honest effort to help, rather than to lecture. I would say that at least 25 percent, maybe more, of the time and effort I have put toward this first iBA book has been put toward trying to solve the many problems of iBA. As I solve them, I see the logic behind some of the processes but there are a lot of problems that strike me as having unnecessarily been built into the system and the only way out is to come up with workarounds.

Dynamic change of box size in sapscript

Hi,
Can i change the box size dynamically depends on internal table records?
For example,If the internal table contains 5 records,box size should be small and if the same internal table contains 100 records in future box size should vary accordingly.
Eagerly waiting for reply.
Thanks in advance

Hi Siddharth,
It is possible from print program.
<b>DATA COM(100).
com = 'BOX WIDTH ''17.5'' CM HEIGHT 5 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15'.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONTROL_FORM'
EXPORTING
    COMMAND         = COM
EXCEPTIONS
UNOPENED        = 1
UNSTARTED       = 2
OTHERS          = 3
</b>
The variable com you can change the values in program .
You You can use all the options of BOX command this way . But the limitation is this will only work for main window as if it were defined at the top of main window . To position the box correctly you may also use the "POSITION" command .
Cheers.

Hi Jim
I just thought of something you may want to check. First,
press the Windows key (if you have a keyboard equipped with one of
these) and the letter D. The goal is to display the desktop. Then
right click and select Properties. Click the settings tab, followed
by the Advanced button and finally the General tab. Compare the

Hopefully this will help some... Rick

JRE 1.6. 0_01 is giving issues in message dialog box size

Hi There,
I am displaying message dialog for one of my web application. To resize the dialog automatically, I have set getPrefferedSize() property.
This is working fine with JRE 1.5.0_11 and all lower version, even ok with 1.4.x. But if I am viewing the applet in a browser having JRE 1.6.0, dialog box size is automatically streatched. Height of the dialog box is increased automatically more than the desktop height. I can not view top & bottom area of the dialog box on my desktop.
Please guide me why is this issue only with JRE 1.6.0 and what should I do to eliminate & resolve it.
Thanks.

Really? I thought all official versions would be downloadable through webstart. I'm curious why would Sun not make them available. Now I need to explain to my higher-ups why I promised to get webstart to automatically update all our user's JRE but now failed to make good. :-(
Regarding the printing problem: With b105 the printouts would have text that is upside, mirrored and cropped. It was a total mess. The problem is reproducible. We manually upgraded some users to b106 and the problem disappeared completely. I think Sun fixed it in 106 but now the problem is getting all our users onto JRE b106.
Java Webstart is supposed to do this for me but now it appears to be failing me big time.

How to solve the mail box size limit for thunderbird

Hi,
I tried to do archiving for my mails but everytime it will prompt me mail box size limit has reached and ask me to delete older mails and the problem is my HDD is more than enough to contain those archives so am asking if there's anything which i can get this solved for good?
Regards.
Andrew Koh

Background info:
Emails are downloaded and stored in the Inbox file written one after the other.; they are not stored as individual emails in their own file. So the Inbox folder in the FolderPane is actually a file.
Any email you delete is marked as deleted and from your point of view it disappears from eg: Inbox and reappears in 'Deleted' folder. In reality it is still in the Inbox taking up space, marked as deleted and hidden from view. Compacting removes all traces of 'marked as deleted' emails and reduces the file size. If a file becomes corrupted and you compact that file you may lose good emails. this can occur if you do not compact on a regular basis.
It is wise to create a backup on a regular basis.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
'''RE: Archiving'''
Archiving is not a backup. It is a means of storing old emails in smaller files accessible within your Profile mail account. So releasing space in other folders.
If you have been archiving all emails into just one Archives folder, then you are putting all of your emails into one file.
Did you set up Archive Options?
See info at these links:
* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/archived-messages
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Archiving_your_e-mail
Did you choose to archive by month and retain folder structure?
By using these options, if you archived last months Sent emails and say you had another folder called 'Family' and you did the same, they would be stored as follows into smaller files, so you should not reach a mailbox limit.
There will be no emails stored in the actual 'Archives' folder, nor the '2014' or '2014-5' folders, they will be in the relevant folder name - see below
eg:
> Archives
>->2014
>->->2014-05
>->->->Family (one month of emails here)
>->->-> Sent (one month of emails here)
Suggest you do the following and in this order:
* create a backup
* delete any emails not required
* compact folders
* set up Archive options and organise emails as shown above, so that emails are only in that months eg: Sent archive Folder.
* Create another backup when everything is organised.

Hi
I know this is a weird one but considering I want a customised MBP it has to be delivered and for some reason my university accommodation has a size limit on packages.
The limit is 30cm x 40cm x 50cm
So does anyone who has bopught a 2012 MBP non retina have the box size?
Thanks

You should be fine...barely.

[CS5 JS] Bounding box size

Need to get a selection size but mySelection.geometricBounds excludes the stroke width.
The problem is that sometimes my selection is a group of objects with different strokes.
Is there a way to get the bounding box size and not just the path size?
Thanks!

Use visibleBounds instead of geometricBounds.
