Text caption changes font/colour/size

Hi
The Recording Defaults for the Text Caption in the prferences has not been altered.
On some slides I need to add a text caption.
I'm finding that sometimes when I click to add a Text Caption the font, colour and size is different to what the default settings are. The default is Arial, 12, #0000FF.
When I manually add a text caption it'll show as System, 10 and black.
Has anyone come across this before?  Is there a way to stop it.  It's really annoying and a time waster to have to manually change the font, size and colour.  And you have to be on your guard.  It's not every time I manually add a text caption, just sometimes.  It's intermittent.
Thanks
Anita

Hi there
The name will vary from version to version.
Captivate_v10.dat
Captivate_v20.dat
Captivate_v30.dat
Captivate_v40.dat
The location also varies. For me, it is:
D:\Documents and Settings\Rick\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
As you can see, D is my drive letter. Yours will likely be C. My name is Rick and is how I log in. Yours will be different. Also, the "Application Data" folder is likely to be hidden from your view unless you adjust Windows to show it to you. And all of this is likely in a different location if you are using Vista or Windows 7. I'm using XP Pro.
Note that you cannot edit this file. Captivate does that internally. About all you are able to do is to close Captvate and delete or rename it. Captivate will then cook up a fresh one when it starts up and cannot locate it.
Cheers... Rick

  • Changes font and size when cutting and pasting

    Cutting and pasting in a document made with a single font and size results in the moved word changing font and size. Checked all preferences, etc. and can't figure it out. Thanks, Jim

  • Can anyone help me change fonts and size on my page? I don't understand the class questions?

    Can anyone help me change fonts and size on my page? I don't understand the class questions? All I want to do is change the font and size of a table or div.
    http://www.allgearinc.com/AG12SSWL-Swift.htm -One problem page

    If you want to change the fonts of the entire page then this code will do the trick:
    body {
        font-size: 16pt;
        color: silver;
         font-family: whatever, goes, here;
    If you want to change the fonts of ALL tables on a page then the code is something like this:
    table {
        font-size: 20pt;
        font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
        font-style: italic;
        font-weight: bold;
    what exactly do you want to change?  Can you be a bit specific so that Ben or Ken can give you the exact code and tell you about the short-hand method to write the code in one line.
    Have you bought a book on CSS yet?  If not, it is a good idea to get one as a reference.  Eric Meyer writes good books on CSS.

  • Change font name/size in text box

    I am trying to create a Pages document with text boxes and would like to use different fonts and sizes in each box. I've tried using
      make text box with properties {object text:receipt_date, vertical position:7, horizontal position:2.5, height:0.5, width:3, font name:"Courier", font size:24.0}
    but it doesn't work.
    Any help gratefully received.

    I see two things; you should "make new text box" and font name and font size are properties of the text, not the text box.
    The following worked for me:
    set the_text to "Hello World!"
    tell application "Pages"
              tell front document
                        set new_box to make new text box with properties {object text:the_text, vertical position:2, horizontal position:1, height:3, width:4}
                        set properties of object text of new_box to {font name:"Courier", font size:24.0}
              end tell
    end tell
    Edit: The "set new_box to" part isn't needed unless you want to refer to the box again in the script.

  • Change Font and Size of Graph Annotations

    Just learned a cool little trick from Christina Rogers about how to change the font and size of a graph annotation after I left a comment on her blog (if you are unsure how to create a graph annotation, check LabVIEW Help).
    With the Cursor Legend selected, use the Font Dropdown on the toolbar to select the font you want for the annotation. Apparently, annotation and cursor text on the graph inherit the font of the Cursor Legend. If you do not like how the Cursor Legend looks after you have changed the font, you can make it invisible again (I have never shown the cursor legend in final UI products... and I have never used "Hobo Std" in final UI products...).

  • Changing font colour on outgoing email

    How do I change the default colour on outgoing email as a default setting.
    I have changed it at preferences as stated in the help section but it remains black.
    Do I have to use outlook in order to do something so simple!

    How do I change the default colour on outgoing email as a default setting.
    Mail does not have that feature (unless you want to use stationery). To set the color (or the font or size) you must do it for each outgoing individually.
    Do I have to use outlook in order to do something so simple!
    Yes, if you want to be able to set the default font, size, or color without using stationery you need to use another app.

  • Accessibility Feature - Change font behaviour (size)

    Hi,
    I want to add the functionality to a web site where a user
    can click button to increase (or decrease) the font size. That is
    headings, paragraphs and link texts should change size
    proportionately. Ideally I want the rest of the pages to use the
    same font size if a user changed it on one page. I imagine this is
    done using CSS, but wasn't sure how to implement this.
    Is there an easier way to do this using Dreamweaver? Can
    someone point me to a tutorial that explains how to do it?
    Thanks.

  • Changing Font Box Sizes

    I want to delete some font boxes and expand others in one of the templates for a book in iPhoto 6. Can this be done or am I stuck using the tiny, unreadable, fonts that are supplied with this template. I know how to change font sizes but need to change the size of the font box to accommodate the change.
    Thanks in advance for any help you might suggest.
    Ted

    OTW:
    Unfortunately that can't be done. If you have an advanced image editor like Photoshop Elements you can create a full page, 8.5 x 11 x 300 dpi, canvas and add you photos and text where ever you want and then use that file in a one photo per page layout.
    If either of your Macs came with OmniGraffle you can use it do create multiple photo and text box layout.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Change font colour in Text Field

    If I have typed 'The Cat Sat On The Mat' into a text field yet I want 'The Cat' to appear in bold  and the rest as normal, how can I do this or even in a different colour?
    Any help would be appreciated

    The only way to do this, is a text field that you change from plain text to rich text. 
    Then you can enter what you want, press ctrl+b to make something bold.
    If you want to see the content of your box, use TextField.value.exData.saveXML() ...

  • Can I change fonts ? (size and/or style)

    I have just got a printer for the first time (with my iMac). I can't see how to adjust/choose a font style or size if ,for instance I want to print off an email i receive.
    Any advice would be welcome,thank you loons
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    For emails (and all documents) you can just make the fonts bigger before printing by Command-"+".
    You can also change the scale % under File> Page Setup which will adjust the document you are printing. Use that with a combination of Print Preview to get exactly the size you want.
