Font size in drop-down fill in the blank quiz questions.

I've migrated an old Quiz from Captivate 4 to Captivate 5. All went reasonably well except for the fill-in-a-blank questions. Fortunately there are only relevatively few of these, but I've encountered a strange problem when I started to do this.
I've set up a style which applies to the fill-in-a-blank question, using biggish text (30pt) because the viewers of the test will not have perfect vision. The text reproduces fine when I publish with the exception of the text in the drop down box. This is appearing as what looks to be about 10pt and not in keeping with the style that applies to the question.
Here's what I mean...
I've looked up and down the menus and in the helpfiles but I can't find out how to control the drop-down text size. Any help would be gratefully received as otherwise I'll have to abandon this type of question.
regards,
Henry

Hello Henry,
Have reported this issue to the Adobe team, but cannot help you to solve it.
If you could replace the dropdown list by really to type words, there the style of the sentence itself is taken over.

"Preview," how to change font size for when you "fill in the blanks" in a pdf file?

In the pdf reader, "PREVIEW,"
I specifically want to find out how to change the font size for "fill in the blanks" information. They're usually huge and i just simply want to make them smaller.
As a complete aside, is there a keyboard shortcut for being on google chrome or safari, then immediately opening the window for "preview." I'm typing notes out on preview while listening to a video lecture on my web browser, usually chrome, and i'd like to switch back and forth.
Thank you, I'd greatly appreciate any advice.

HI Velders,
Can't answer your first question but can offer some information regarding your 'aside.'
Command-tab will move the focus to the most recent previous application. If repeated, it will step through the pen applications from most to least recent. In your described case, you could use command-tab to toggle between Preview and Safari.
Command-~ runs you through the open windows in the same application. As with command-tab, the steps are from most to least recent.
Regards,
Barry

Fill In The Blank / Sequence Questions

Is it possible to have a fill in the blank question in captivate (4 or 5) that is scored according to how many options the user got correct?
For example:
If you use 4 grams of 'b' you will need _____ grams of 'x', _____ grams of 'y' and ____ grams of 'z' to complete the forumula.
In this example if they answered all 3 blanks correctly they would get 3 points, 2 correct answers would give them 2 points and so on.
Also, is it possible to score sequence questions according to how many items were correctly sequenced?

Hello,
For the moment partial scoring (as I'm calling it) is not possible in Captivate, at least not in the included Question slides. If you want that feature, and you are certainly not alone, please fill in a Feature Request to get this feature on the priority list of the Adobe team.
If you do not mind the work, it is possible to create question slides yourself using the available objects, user variables and advanced actions. I wrote several articles and blogged about those workarounds, one of them is about creating question slides with possibility for partial scoring (it is not a FIB-question but the principles are the same):

Change font size in drop-down form item

When I'm in design mode, I assigned the drop-down item a
style class of 9pt
font and it looks fine in design mode. When I go to view in
IE, the font
looks like a standard 10pt font and doesn't change when I
change the class.
So, all of my titles are in 9pt but the form text boxes and
drop-down boxes
are all using 10pt font.
How do you change the font used in form fields?
Thanks!

One should not use a print metric on the web. Please use
pixels, ems, ens,
exs, percents, or font size names, but definitely not points.

Fill-In-The-Blank drop down space issue

Hi,
I have Captivate 7 and am putting in a number of Fill-In-The-Blank quiz questions and using the drop down but when the user makes the selection, not all the words are shown, it cuts off the last few letters and in some cases where I have a one character you can't see any of the answer.
Any ways around this? (Other than not using one character)

Do you need scoring? There is a Scrolling Text interaction (more control, you can empty the variable and it will be displayed empty) but it is a non-interactive one, no score possible except by adding other interactive objects.

Fill in the Blank Problem

Alright, I'm new to captivate and all that, but I have a slight problem with fill in the blank quizes that I can't seem to figure out. What I want to do is create fill in the blank quiz questions that already have an incorrect answer in the blank that, after a user attempts to answer the question, returns to the original incorrect answer. So, for instance, if I had a fill in the blank that read "(Cats) go woof woof" where the parentheses represent the blank, I would want 'Cats' to reappear after a user incorrectly filled in that blank. As it is, it seems to keep the user text. I've tried checking and unchecking the retain text button in options, but that doesn't seem to do it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Re-reading the question, I realize I may not being clear? I want the example text in a text entry box to re-appear after a user types in an answer and is given the failure or success message. Not possible? Thanks in advance.

Fill in the blanks html5 stacking order issue

I am using the fill in the blanks quiz slide but when I publish it out to html5 the dropdown boxes are stacking on top of eachother. How can this be fixed?
Thanks,
Oliver

I have tried your sugestion Rajeev but it does not fix the issue for HTML5 output. I can see that all of the z indexes are set to 1000 surely the first dropdown should have the highest z index.
What else can I try to fix this issue. What could be causing it?
Thanks,
Oliver

Font drop-down menu in the Property Inspector

Hello,
I am having an issue with the drop-down menu in the Property
inspector panel that I can't figure out.
I searched the forum and found 1 related topic, but it
doesn't answer the question that I have.
I am currently reading a book on Dreamweaver. In the lesson
that I have it says to choose the size 24 from the drop-down menu
in the Properties panel, but there isn't a size 24. All I see is 1
to 7, +1 to +7 and -1 to -7.
In the topic that I found in the forum is a picture of two
different views of the font sizes:

How do you change which way Dreamweaver displays this list?
I am currently using version CS3 for Windows on Vista.
Any help, greatly appreciated,
Cathy

Now look at the Size field in the Property inspector.

Fill-In-The-Blank drop-down list in HTML5 output

I'm working in Captivate 7 (WIN) and developing for both SWF and HTML5 output, viewing courses in IE9 for Windows and Safari on iPad.
I have a quiz containing a fill-in-the-blank question, using a drop-down list to select the correct answer, however it does not display the drop-down button or function correctly in HTML5 output (see screenshot).
The issue began after updating to Captivate 7 version 7.0.1.237. The drop-down list worked prior to the update I installed recently. I'm viewing the published course locally and in the LMS, and it does not work in either.
I've not read in the help documents that drop-down list questions are an unsupported question type in HTML5, and so I'm wondering if this is a bug that needs to be reported. Has anyone encountered this issue?

Do you need scoring? There is a Scrolling Text interaction (more control, you can empty the variable and it will be displayed empty) but it is a non-interactive one, no score possible except by adding other interactive objects.

Changing font / appearance of Fill-in-the-blank questions

1) I am using a Fill-in-the-blank question. I can change the
font of the name and the description, but not of the Blank Answers
themselves. I figure this should be possible, since these are
basically text entry boxes (or drop down lists if you select the
list option). Is there a way to do this? Perhaps an option I
missed, or with a Javascript code that modifies some system
variables, or some other way?
2) Also, how can I get rid of the numbering in front of the
Blank Answers that Captivate generates? Is there a way to do this
(an option I missed, Javascript, or whatever)? I even tried to
cover them up with a highlight box, but Captivate does not allow me
to bring the highlight box in front in z-order.
Surely, you wonder why would I want to do this, especially
#2. One really useful example would be to embed the Blank Answers
in the Phrase itself. Example:
The <1> and the <2> are the two longest rivers on
earth.
1. __________
2. __________
By adding some blanks in the Phrase and moving around the
Blank Answers, this could be turned into:
The __________ and the __________ are the two longest rivers
on earth.
I would think that many would consider the second version
more appealing.
In addition, this would open other possible uses for
Fill-in-the-blank questions. For example, consider a table or
spreadsheet like setting where each Blank Answer is actually a
cell. The user fills in the cells, and all entries are evaluated
when the user submits.

I guess the best response would be generate the
Fill-In-The-Blank question as Captivate requires. After it creates
the questions slide, double click on the text box you wish to edit.
For example, when you publish your question "The <1>
and the <2> are the two longest rivers on earth.", this will
appear as a text box on the screen. Double click it to edit and
change "<1>" and "<2>" to "___________".
You should also be able to edit your answer boxes in this
manner as well.

Drop Down for Selecting the doc type while uploading?

Hi all,
Is it possible to create some document type in KM so that we can select the doc type and upload the file to specific folder.
What I mean from Doc type is like Doc for Meetings, Doc for activity report.
Is it possible using standard KM features? Urgent help needed pls reply.
Pls send the document regarding this to [email protected]

Hi Karan,
I'm not sure if I have understood your issue correctly, but let me try:
1. You want to upload documents to KM
2. Uploading them, you want to categorize them in some way, so that they can be identified as docs for meetings, docs for unit XYZ, etc..
3. After upload, you want each doc to end up in a folder according to its category
If this is what you want, try the following:
1. Create a custom resource property called "category" or something similiar.
2. You may define your possible values for that property. This makes it a drop down box containing the possible values in property view. (You can see property view when uploadinga document)
3. Mark the property as searchable
4. Create a taxonomy using TREX searching your repository for the given values of your custom property
Now you can upload documents, fill the custom property, and some minutes later TREX will create a link to the document in the specified 'category folder'.
If you need some more detailed assistance, please come back.
HTH,
Carsten

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

How do I remove an entry from the "Store Files" drop down list in the "Import Settings" section of Aperture 3.3.2

The dropdown list "Store Files" in the "Import Settings" section of Aperture 3.3.2 displays the history of the entries previously added to the list. Some of the entries are no longer valid and I'm trying to delete them but I can't find a way to do this. This is a screenshot. Does anyone know how to do this?

Once again - the Jive system ate my bullet points and messed up the formatting
Is the MacOS X version in your signature correct? Then you cannot be using Aperture 3.3.2?
You should not be seeing duplicate entries in the "Store Files" pop-up menu. This looks like your Aperture Preferences file is corrupted and needs fixing.
Quit Aperture (and log off and on again, if you are running MacOS X 10.7 or later)
Then reveal your User Library (from the Finder's main menu bar, the "Go" menu. Hold down the options-key until the library apears in the drop-down menu)
In the Library folder select the "Preferences folder and locate the file "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist"
Now you can either
remove the com.apple.Aperture.plist file to the Desktop, to force Aperture to create a new one, but you will have to set again your Preferences from the "Preferences" panel,
or make a backup copy of the file and edit it, if you are an experienced programmer and have Xcode installed. To fix the drop-down list you need to edit the item "RecentReferenceFolders" and delete the redundant folder names. Enter "recent" into the search field to find it quickly. If you click an item in the list, plus/minus buttons should appear. But only try this, if you know how to edit property lists, otherwise it will be much safer to delete the faulty list and to set your preferences again from the "Preferences" panel.

How can I set the font size of a form field in the fdf file?

I need to dynamically set the font size of a field to accommodate text of varying length, automatic font size won't work in this case. It seems like this can be done in the FDF but I have tried several variants without success. Could someone help out with a real example of what the syntax in the fdf should look like.
I am using Acrobat Professional 8.1 but the created fdf will need to work with Reader also.

I think that the font size has to be set in the form itself, not the FDF.
