Font change when I make a text box transparent

Hi All
I have been using Captivate 4 for over a year and have just come across a strange event.
When I change a text box caption type from a coloured background, such as adobe blue, adobe pop up etc, to transparent, the font type and style change from what I originally had and I am unable to change it back.
For example I am using Verdana 12 black in adobe blue caption. When I change this to transparent the font style changes to something else, even though the application still says the font is Verdana 12 black. It is very obvious it is a different font to Verdana as the other text on the slide that has not been changed to transparent looks very different to the transparent text box font.
This font looks nothing like Verdana as it is smaller and thicker; it resembles Arial Black though it is not quite that either.
This change occurs when I am using a text box on its own or a text box associated with a roll over slidelet.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening, and should I post this in bug fixes?
cheers

Hi there
In addition to Lilybiri's advice, you can also typically achieve the desired effect by editing the Text Caption and positioning the cursor at the end of all text. Just press Ctrl+End to do this. Then press Enter a couple of times to introduce a couple of blank lines. Then format the last line as bulleted. After that, adjust the size of the caption so you don't see the bulleted blank line.
Cheers... Rick

  • How can I make a text box in Aperture transparent??

    Hello,
    After a great trip to Thailand I want to make a book of all my pictures using Aperture 3. At some places in the book I use a title to indicate what will be shown on the image. This title is made by the text box and it is put on the image itself. Now what I would like is to make is a transparent bar of the text box, so that I still can see the details of the image through this bar and also read the text about the image easily.
    I have no problems making this text box and putting it in the right place, the thing that I don't understand, after two nights of trying, is how to make this text box transparent.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    Perhaps I need to reformulate what I exactly want to do...!
    I would like to use transparent text boxes but not as transparent as the image itself. I want to show the text box as a real bar but slightly different than the original image colour. So something between a normal image and a white bar so that it will be a bit transparent but also shown as a real bar..
    I think the text boxes of each theme are identical, so yes you are right about the transparent text boxes of art collection but they are the same as photo essay.
    Do you understand what I mean?

  • I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

    I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
    Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
    help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

    lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
    Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
    But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
    Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
    Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
    Thx,
    DJ

  • How do I change the font size and color in a text box?

    How do I change the font size and color in a text box?

    Really frustrating to find the first time but simple once you figure it out. I think I spent hours trying to find this. Simply right click on a blank spot in the toolbar up top and select Properties Bar. There it is! The available properties will change depending on whether you have the content (text) selected or the box itself.
    I haven't found a way yet to make it show up as a regular part of the toolbar. It floats around and gets in the way so I don't leave it on and then have to open it again when I need it. Again - frustrating; but at least it's there!

  • I am using Illustrator CS5. I am using a certain font and when I make a selection to use one of the letter options or a glyph, it does not take my selection; in other words, nothing changes.

    I am using Illustrator CS5. I am using a certain font and when I make a selection to use one of the letter options or a glyph, it does not take my selection; in other words, nothing changes.

    What font? What system? What Glyph? What language settings? Could be anything. Either way, ask in the AI forum. You'll get quicker answers there - if you provide all the required info.

  • Is it possible to make a text box cycle/rotate through text, like a slide show does?

    Is it possible to make a text box cycle through 3 or 4 separate pieces/groups of text, like a slide show does with photos? So that when I open my site a text area says "Statement 1", then 10 seconds later it changes to "Statement 2", then 10 seconds later it chagnes to "Statement 3", etc.
    Its that possible with a text box? My desire is to have 3 or 4 testimonials that change every 10 seconds.
    You can see that right now it's a single testimonial:

    All help is appreciated
    Thanks!
    Kevin

    Right.  Some plugins have zip file downloads while others are just copy & paste.
    In DW, go to File > New > Blank page > JavaScript.
    Copy & paste the Cycle plugin code into your new JS page. 
    SaveAs   cycle.2.9.81.js  in whichever site folder you normally keep scripts.
    Link your HTML page to your new cycle script:
    Insert > Script > Script (browse to folder containing your cycle script). Hit OK.
    Don't forget to add a link to the jQuery core library, too.  Plugins don't work without it.

  • OneNote 2013: Font changes when pressing Enter / Return key

    I have the same problem as this guy (who didn't get a relevant answer): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/233833f7-dde8-414d-bdca-604ed8d57667/onenote-2013-font-changes-when-pressing-enter-return-key?forum=officeitpro
    I set my default to Calibri 14, but every time I press enter (I make a lot of bullet lists) the font changes to Calibri 11. 

    Hi,
    Did you change the default font after you typed a few words in a note container?
    Setting the default font in Microsoft Office OneNote affects text that you type in new note containers only. It does not affect existing text or text that you add to existing note containers.
    If you want to change the font in an existing note container, you need to change it manually under
    Home tab > Basic Text.
    Thanks,

  • Title fonts change when published

    I have been making a site based on the white template. It has a picture in the header. When I alter the page title (e.g. change colour) the font changes to small hardly readable text wjwhen published, even though it looks fine in iWeb (and was fine prior to changing the font colour).
    Can anyone help? Is it because of having the jpeg in the header part? There is no overlap of images and the page title.
    Thanks

    Try dragging the photo out of the header, deleting the text and redoing it in the color of your choice and then putting the photo back.
    Save and do a "publish all" and make sure you empty your browser cache before viewing the changes in Safari.
    This covers three trouble shooting steps at once and may save you time in the long run.

  • How to convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

    When I convert the Adobe 10 PDF to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 it is a static document, thus not allowing me to make the text boxes expandable.  How do I take a current Adobe 10 PDF with Text and convert it to Adobe LiveCycle ES2 so that I can make the text boxes expandable?

    Hi Alan,
    TextField objects can expand dynamically.  There are a few things that you need to do:
    1. The TextField object should be contained in a subform that is set to Content: Flowed.  This isn't technically necessary, but if you have anything below the expanding text box and the subform is set to Positioned, the text will expand and overlay what's below.
    2. On the Field tab of the text field's Object property tab, check the Allow Multiple Lines checkbox
    3. On the Layout tab, check the Expand To Fit checkbox under Y:/Height
    4. Set the PDF Render Format under Form Properties/Defaults to Dynamic XML Form.  If you're previewing in Designer, don't forget to set the preview to Dynamic too.

  • Font changes when client is using IBE (in browser editing). Anyone had this issue and know how to fix it?

    I'm using Web Font, Open Sans Regular
    It's fine when I log into IBE but when the client does it the font changes, when they add words to the end of an existing sentence the font is fine, it's when they add a return and add a new line of text, this is when the font changes

    Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm having the same exact issue.

  • How can I make a text box with 2 columns?

    I can't figure out how to make a text box with two columns. I made one in pages and pasted it into iWeb but it seems to have turned it into an image when I published to a folder. I want to keep it text so the search engines will index it.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, David

    You will have to create two text boxes, configure them as columns and then paste into the first and cut where you want the columns to end and paste the remainder into the second column as on this page . I've tried saving a two column Word document as a web page and it just converts it to one column.

  • How can I click on a button and make a text box appear or disappear

    How can I click on a button and make a text box appear or disappear?
    Thanks ahead of time for your help,
    Doug

    Hi Denes,
    I just thought that the example you pointed the OP to, is far more complex than what I understood he needs. The OP was talking about using a button, which I thought was a very basic and simple case. Your example is much more complicated. If memory serves, the radio group item, at the time (prior to 3.1 fieldset) behaved differently, so you needed to create a new value retrieving function, and then was the need to preserve the items show/hide status upon reloading the page. In short, I thought maybe I didn’t see the complexity in the OP post, but it seems that his requirement was indeed a simple one.

  • How do you change the colour of the text box?

    A lot of the text box options seem different for DC. Is there a way to change the colour of the text box that you create/the borders etc.?
    In the past, you would just press Ctrl+E and a toolbar would pop up so that you could fiddle w/ the colour of the background etc. This seems to be gone.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi, Rahul,
    Thank you for replying back.
    Unfortunately, I have tried what you have suggested and the only thing that I get is a box that says "Properties: No current selection."
    Could you please possibly see what it is that I am doing wrong?
    I created the text box, wrote whatever inside, clicked somewhere outside the box and then clicked on the text box and I still only get "Properties: No current selection."
    Thank you,
    Arrom
