Review Area issue in Captivate 5 quiz
In testing a quiz I created in Captivate 5, I am finding that the Incorrect and Correct answers in the Review Area are truncated vertically. How can I get this text to show up completely?
The best you can do is use a smaller text font. The Review Area in Captivate 4 and 5 is not very configurable. If you can upgrade to Cp 5.5 it's much improved.

Captivate 5 quiz missing cmi.interactions
Working on a SCORM 2004 compatible LMS that works with Articulate quiz but having problem getting the user's answer with Captivate 5 quiz. Interestingly, I am able to capture the final score and status alright for Captivate 5.
I tried to debug the Captivate quiz by editing the main html file and alerting out all the parameters when a call is made to:
function Captivate_DoExternalInterface(command, parameter, value, variable)
What I realized is I don't see any call for setvalue of "cmi.interactions" and hence no user's answer is sent to my LMS.
Just wondering if anyone have a solution for the problem? Can it be how I create my Captivate quiz?
I am using IE8.0 and Captivate 5 Trial and here are my quiz's settings
Quiz Properties on each question slides
- "Type" is Graded
- "Report Answers" properties is checked and the "Interaction ID" is filled in.
Publish Settings
- "Enable reporting for this project" is checked
- "Standard" is SCORM
- "Manifest - SCORM Version" is 2004
- "Template" is Default
- "Report Status" is Pass/Fail
- "Report to LMS as" is Score
- "Choose Report Data" is Quiz Results and Slide Views
- "Reporting Level" is Interactions and Score
Thanks in advance!
DonJust in case anyone has the same question. It turns out it is more of an LMS issue, my Captivate 5 quiz is alright.
My fix is to make sure the LMS replies it can handle cmi.interactions by returning something like "id,type,objectives,timestamp,correct_responses,weighting,learner_response,result,latency ,description" for getvalue: cmi.interactions._children.
Thanks!

Review area; I can't edit text per question
I've looked but haven't seen my question (or the solution), so here it is.
This time it is not about editing the review area.
I have a quiz with several multiple choice question, one answer only - although somewhere in the middle there's one with multiple correct answers.
When I double click in the slide on the review area I see the text for the correct answer and the wrong answer.
When I edit this text, it's changed for all the slides/questions. Even though default setting is: apply for this slide only.
What to do?
I've read in the Helpfiles that a changed review area becomes the default for new areas. The problem however is that the changed text is also seen in already existing slides.
I have made my questions by duplicating the first question and then altering the duplicate each time. Could that be the cause?
Hope someone can shed some light. Thanks!Hi there
As you have seen, the Review area is rather generic. It only allows for a single configuration change that appears on all Question slides.
If you feel this should operate on a "Per Question" basis, please consider submitting a Wish Form to ask for it. (Link is in my sig)
Cheers... Rick

Review area on Question Slides
Good morning,
I'm creating several question slides and on each one, a grey
"review area" keeps being displayed. What is this used for from a
learner perspective and if I don't want it, how do I get rid of it?
I've checked each of the Question tabs but can't find anything to
deselect.
Thanks for your help,
HelenHi Helen
Let's say you have a True/False question with a Review Area.
You take the quiz and on the Results slide, you see a button
labeled "Review Quiz". If you click the button, you see a table
listing:
Your answer: B
The correct answer is: A
Of course, what you see here will vary based on choices.
If you want to turn off the Review Area, click Project >
Quiz Manager... > Quiz Settings tab and DE-select the option
labeled "Allow user to review quiz".

Adobe Captivate 6 problem with Review area text on Quiz results page
Hi,
I am using Adobe Captivate 6 and I have a test at the end of my project with the built in 'Quiz results page' at the end.
However, the standard 'review area' provided always seems to play up for me. I have changed the 'quiz results messages' through the preferences and changed the font of the review area, but everytime I play my project the message displayed is in a different font that I did not set and the size is so large that the sentence goes off the screen. It has done this on numerous projects.
I have changed the font of the review area and it shows up on my normal view, but everytime I preview the project or publish it, the font changes back to a strange default.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thank you.Hannah,
That is a very well-known bug in the last Captivate versions... if you screen these forums you'll find multiple threads complaining about it. Some fonts will work, I think Calibri works (not all styles however) and all the other fonts revert to Times New Roman. I'm a bit puzzled that you call it a 'strange default'.

Captivate 5.5 Review message no longer wraps in Review area caption box
Has anyone else experienced this issue? I logged it as a bug when someone else in my company reported the same issue to me. I searched for it on the Internet and didn't get any hits. We tested to see if it was just for converted projects from 4 to 5.5 or for new ones as well. It's not working for new ones. This problem did not exist in version 5.
Basically the text won't wrap so the text displays completely across the screen (no matter what size the Review Area caption size is), cutting off the text at both ends for longer feedback messages.
Workaround: You can work around this issue by forcing a carriage return in your feedback messages by pressing Enter at an appropriate place in the message. You'll probably have to fool around with that a bit to determine the best place.So, here is my workaround:
On the Quiz Review slide, I created two captions, one for passing, and one for failing. I set both of them to be hidden. I then created a conditional Advanced Action called ExamCaption and set one expression to show the Pass Caption if cpQuizInfoPointsscored was above or at my passmark, and set another expression to show the Fail Caption if cpQuizInfoPointsscored was below my pass mark. I also set each expression to hide the other non applicable caption for good measure.
I set the On Enter action to ExamCaption for this slide.
Reading Lilybiri's blog, I also replaced the Captivate Pass/Failure captions with just a space for each, so that nothing is shown.
Only problem is, the captions fade out after 3 seconds, the duration of the slide, despite being set to No Transition. I therefore increased the length of the slide to 60 seconds. If anyone has a better workaround, please let me know.
Hope that helps! -
Formatting the Quiz Review Area
Is there a way to re-format the font, background, size or any
other appearance aspects in the quiz review area? I know how to
change the messages presented in this area via the Quiz Manager,
but need help with changing the font size, etc.
Speedy reply appreciated - as this is the last touch to a
project due tomorrow. Thanks!Hi pewinggrim and welcome to our community
Unfortunately, there is very little you can do with this.
Pretty much what you see is what you get. Aside from the text, you
can't really control formatting.

Adobe Captivate 4/5 Review Area Problem
When reviewing a quiz the message, whether it be the "your answer is correct" or "your answer is incorrect" does not seem to appear where i want it to.
When I move the review area the messages do not seem to move accordingly.
This is the screen for a correct message. As you can see the review message is in a good location.
However the Fail message does not appear in the same area as you can see
I have tried moving the review area around, changing the text size, style and size however this doesnt seem to work.
I have also tried a number of methods suggested on here such as:
Removing the default captions and adding in a invisible text caption. Although this works, it doesnt work if you use a random question slide, nor does it provide the user with the correct answer like the above method
I have also tried to insert an enter before the success message to bring it down one line. This does an satisfactory job but inserts a square in to show the return.
Is there another way this can be resolved? Possibly changing the dreamweaver code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is the purpose of the Review area on the quiz slide?
Most of the time, I shrink it very small and out of the way. What
can I use it for?
AngieHi there Angie
Just a note here. While I do tend to be prolific with
answering and responding to forum posts, there are many folks here
that help other than me.
As for your question, here is how it works. When you have a
quiz with question slides, you have correct and incorrect answers
for each question. You also have an ability to enable the user to
perform a review of the quiz. So once the questions are finished
and they see the results screen, if you have allowed reviewing,
there should be a button on that slide that allows them to review
the questions. When clicked, they are transported to the first
question. The Review area is where they see the messages pertaining
to the question.
Does that make things clearer? If not, post back with where
things are still hazy and one of us will try to 'splain it better.
Cheers... Rick -
Review area in captivate 6 is not wrapping the text. Any suggestions?
That is an old bug, already there in previous versions. I have filed it several times, perhaps you could do the same?
If you need a long message, you'll have to create text captions for Success/Failure and show them based on a conditional action when entering the score slide. Check the value of the system variable cpQuizInfoPassFail.

Are there any compatibility issues with Captivate and OS X Yosemite?
Has anyone noted any compatibility issues with Captivate and Yosemite?
I had the same issue. Updating resolved this as well.
I tested with Captivate 7 and almost everything seemed to work fine. I tested with an existing project file containing TEB's, Motion recording, a third party drag 'n drop widget, and a playbar with a TOC. This all seemed to work fine both in preview mode as after publishing. I also tested with Captivate 6 although I didn't publish anything. Here, everything seemed to work fine as well. However this was only SWF.
As jpm226 described for 8, previewing HTML5 doesn't seem to work with Captivate 6 and 7 either. Chrome gives a "This webpage is not available" notification. Publishing however, does seems to work.
Fortunately, the client we work for that asks us to use Captivate 7, also asks for SWF output. So I'll continue to use Yosemite for now. -
Size and position of the review area
hi all,
at the end of a quiz, i get the quiz result with score and
review area with text indicating whether i pass or fail the quiz.
For some reason, when i make the review area box smaller, the
text doesen't wrap with the box. In addition, i also bold the text
but captivate doesn't reflect that after i published.
any ideas?
thanks

Hi! I've made a project that only contains question slides.
The last slide is the one with the results. What I want to do is to
print the percentage of the correct answers in the review area at
the bottom of the last slide. I know I can get the percentage, but
I want to print it in a text at the review area, something like:
"Your score was only xy%" when the student failed. thnx in
advance!So, here is my workaround:
On the Quiz Review slide, I created two captions, one for passing, and one for failing. I set both of them to be hidden. I then created a conditional Advanced Action called ExamCaption and set one expression to show the Pass Caption if cpQuizInfoPointsscored was above or at my passmark, and set another expression to show the Fail Caption if cpQuizInfoPointsscored was below my pass mark. I also set each expression to hide the other non applicable caption for good measure.
I set the On Enter action to ExamCaption for this slide.

Score Issues between Captivate 4 and 5
Hi Everyone,
We are noticing an issue between Captivate 4 and 5 and we can't seem to figure out what is going on, this issue is with Captivate modules that have no quiz and the completion status is based only on a % of slide views. We publish as SCORM with complete/incomplete and report percent.
With these types of modules created in Captivate 4, the LMS would record a completion and a N/A score. Now, for those created in Captivate 5, the LMS receives a 0% score and the completion. Our end users are really confused as to why they see a 0%. Any ideas on what may be causing this? The LMS is Taleo Learn, formerly Learn.com's LearnCenter.
Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
ConnorIf you can't download any old versions by logging into your account then clearly these have been discontinued. Your best bet is ask somebody to lend you their CD/DVD which you can copy for your safe keeping.
Old products are always discontinued and that is why you should always buy them on a CD/DVD so that they can installed whenever you have a new system or you have a system crash.
Good luck. -
Help! I've deleted the review area in the results page and now I can't get it back
I started the project in Capt 5.5 and then opened it with Capt 6 and continued to work on it. When I wen to amend the pass fail message on hte quiz results page I noticed that the review area was missing from the page and I can't find a way of getting it back.
Anyone else come across this before?For sure something is wrong with that advanced action because I have used that approach since long.

Did you try to delete the score slide and add it again (still possible in CP5.5, not in CP6 where it will only be hidden)?
