Text Caption options not applied

Hi,
I'm trying to add a text caption with a transparent style.
however when I try to modify font, font size, or color no change is
being applied. If I switch to the Adobe Blue caption style I can
modify color, but not font size. Any idea why this is
happening?

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 captions are not displayed as per timeline settings after publishing.

Hi All,
I am using Adobe Captivate 4. I have provided different start times in timeline settings for 4 text captions. When i preview my slide, it displays well. But when i publish it and try to view it, it is only dsiplaying the first text caption and the other text captions are not at all displayed.
Request to help in this regard.
Many Thanks,
Kranthi

Hi Rick,
Thanks for your help.
Yeah..you are correct...I do have buttons in my slide.
When i adjusted the start time for my buttons after my text captions....it perfectly works fine...
Many Thanks,

Formatting Critical Tasks (Text in Table) not applying across all columns

All,
I am working on creating a schedule from multiple smaller schedules. A few of these schedules had manual text formatting which I overwrote manually (selecting cells and changing text color). Now when attempting to apply text styles to the critical
path the text styles will not apply to all Critical tasks or all columns visible. I'm guessing I caused problems by manually changing the text color but I don't know how to fix it. Please help!

All of the manual text formatting and re-formatting in cells has changed the default formatting in the Gantt Chart View.
Rather than fiddling with it, the best way is to recover the original formatting of the Gantt Chart View, and then if you want to modify it make a copy of that view, name the copy something like "AA Gantt Chart 01", and then format the text and bar
styles (not individual bits and pieces of cells and bars) of your new view. Include the "AA" or an underscore or something similar as part of the name so that your new views always go to the top of the list and you can always distinguish them
from the original ones that came out of the box.
Use the organiser to recover the original Gantt Chart View by pulling the Gantt Chart View from the global template. Now, MSP will not allow you to over-write the Gantt Chart View in your file while that view is the active view, so you will have to switch
to another view while you do it. Switch to the Tracking Gantt View, then File, Organiser. You see all of the clean stuff on the left hand side and all of the stuff in your file on the right.
In the future, leave the original views as they are. Also, leave the original tables, filters, groups, reports etc alone and if you need modified/customised versions of them make copies and change the copies. This is just good housekeeping. Also, do not
copy modified/customised views from your file into the global template ((or you will poison the well).
Hope this helps. Please mark as answer.

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

Text wrap option not working..

Lately I have not been able to use the Text Wrap function in CS3. I feel like it's worked up until recently, but now when I open the Text Wrap window there are no options listed - it's just a blank gray box. When I click on the dropdown menu on the top right, the only two grayed-out options are "Show Options" and "Apply to Master Page Only".
I tried selecting an object first to create the text wrap, selecting the text box, rearranging the objects, but nothing appears.
Any idea why this might be happening or what I am doing wrong?

Some text caption prefs not reflected in recorded project

In Captivate 5:
Among others, I have set the following preferences prior to recording:
Font size: 12pt
Vertical alignment: Top
Display for: Rest of slide
The text captions in the resulting recording show the following:
Font size: 19pt
Vertical alignment: Middle
Display for: Specific time
Any ideas as to why some of the text caption prefs are not being applied to the recording (while some are)?
Many thanks.

Absolutely. Here are screen captures to clarify:

Text Wrap options not showing in InDesign CS3

Using InDesign CS3 on a Mac 10.4. I've had this problem for a couple of months now and it's getting past the point of annoying. When I open my text wrap options pallete it's blank even when I expand options. I can see the text wrap icons in my header panel, but I no longer have options to change the right/left/top/bottom margins. Just a general "add wrap" and "remove wrap". Is there any way I can get my pallete back? I've tried defaulting my tools, but still it does not show up. I don't know what to do to get it back.

Did you try resetting preferences? While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. If you don't get the message about deleting preferences, you weren't fast enough.

Text Caption will not pop up and go away. It is there the whole slide

I have a Text Caption box that I am wanting to pop up and
give a Hint on how to answer a question slide and then go away
after a few seconds.
I have this in the Options tab for it:
Display for: specific time: 2.2 seconds
Appear after: .3 seconds
Effect: Fade in and out
In: .4 seconds Out: .5 seconds

Welcome to our community
Is this a standard Text Caption and you are inserting it on a
Question Slide? If so, perhaps the buttons or overall construction
of the Question Slide are pausing it so the caption is simply
appearing to remain on the slide the entire time.
If you are unable to futz with the timing to get the result
you want, you might try creating a small Captivate project that
only has the caption fading into view briefly, then fading out.
Publish that as a SWF and insert it on your question slide.
Hopefully something here was helpful... Rick

Text caption timings not working properly on some computers

I've created a module in Captivate 4, published with the recommended settings of AS2, Flash Player 8, and 30 FPS. Audio narration is recorded on each slide separately. It contains a .flv video inserted that plays fine. On several of the slides, text captions are timed to appear automatically as the slide is being narrated. All the timings work fine on my computer (an HP laptop with Windows XP).
This module is viewed by all 800 of our employees. Several employees (one is our department head!) have reported that the text caption boxes come in very slowly, not at all in sync with the narration. For instance, I have the caption set to appear after 5 seconds; on her computer, it doesn't appear until 15 seconds.
This is only happening with text captions. On one slide, I have several transparent captions that the viewer has to click on to make them appear. These are working fine without any delay.
We first thought a common thread among those having this problem was they had just received upgraded computers, although they all run Windows XP with Flash Player 10. However, the IT tech investigating it for us ran the module on a new computer and it played perfectly. So it seems to be a problem in Captivate.
Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this issue? Thanks for any help you can offer!

Have you tried republishing the movie as AS3 and Flashplayer 10?
Flasplayer 8 was nowhere near as efficient at decoding SWF content.
If all your users are on FP 10, publish to FP8?

GPP for Folder Options Not Applying to Windows 7 Current Users

I have a Windows 7 client that I am trying to push a GPP for a folder option. The setting is "Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items".
If a user has already logged into the machine before the policy applied, it will not change the setting.
If a brand new user logs into the machine, the policy is applied.
On users that have logged in previosu to the policy, I can go to the Group Policy folder, check the history folder and I am showing that it is applied in the XML file.
Things I have verified:
Setting is for Windows Vista and Later
Same results on different Windows 7 PCs
Set to run in logged on user context
Apply once and not reapply is NOT checked.
Can anyone help shed some light on this?
Thanks!

Hi JiuJitsuJeff,
Sorry for misunderstanding this issue. This GPP for folder option could apply to new users sucessfully, however, could not apply to old users sucessfully. Right?
Firstly, please check if the GPO has applied to old users. You can also run the following command on the problematic workstation when an old user logs on:
Gpresult /h > C:\temp\gpresult.html (“C:\temp\” is the path of the gpresult.html, you can set it yourself). This gpresult.html file is used for checking the result of Group Policy information.
If the GPO setting has been applied according to the result of Gpresult, please check if the value of corresponding registry key has been modified. The corresnponding registry key is shown as following:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Advanced: ShowInfoTip
If the value is 1, this means the value has been modified. Vice versa.

Lany Zhang

Number format mask of text item is not applied

Hello all,
I want to format a number like 999G999G999G999G990D00
Is specify the format mask under source of the item. But it is not applied and I don't understand why.
See http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=53873:2 for example
Btw. is it possible to set the format for all numbers in the application at once? I want to have a thousand separator in most cases.

Hello Jacob,
Btw. is it possible to set the format for all numbers
in the application at once? I want to have a thousand
separator in most cases.I am using substitution strings for things like that. You can define some "global" substitution strings on page application definition.
So you just have to put in the format (999G999G999G999G990D00 ) in there once and give it a name. Let's say NUMBER_THOUSAND.
Afterwards you can reference it wherever you need the format e.g. this way:
to_char(10000,'&NUMBER_THOUSAND.').
This way you just have one place where to change the format model.
Regards,
Tine

Text Wrap option not showing up

I am trying to text wrap, but the option is not available in
Windows>text wrap.
Am I missing something?

Do you mean warp text?
With the type tool selected look at the tool options bar.
You can also get the same warp options for non text layers under Edit>Transform>Warp.
If you want the text options other than what's in the tool options bar:
Window>Character and Window>Paragraph

Cumulated option not applied to Results

Hi,
We are trying to design a format with years in column and projects in row and we want user to switch from non cumulative to cumulative (we are using BI 7.0; SAPGUI 640)
In non Cumulative
...............2008.....2009......2010.....2011
Project A....5..........10........ 2...........1
Project B....2..........3..........1............6
Result .......7.........13.........3............7
When activating "Cumulated" with option "Calculate Along the Columns" we obtain :
...............2008.....2009......2010.....2011
Project A....5..........15........17...........18
Project B....2..........5..........6............12
Result .......7.........13.........3............7
The problem is that we would like Results to be also in Cumulated but the "Also Apply to Results" cannot be checked and even when we put that in Query designer it has no effect on Results
We need to obtain this (in BW 3.5 it was working as expected using the cumulative output on Fiscal Year):
...............2008.....2009......2010.....2011
Project A....5..........15........17...........18
Project B....2..........5..........6............12
Result .......7.........20.........23..........30
Thanks in advance for your help, we have tried everything but impossible to obtain what we had in BW 3.5.

We have put the Cumulated and Sum in the Query, when you run directly the query it works. But if in Properties you uncheck Cumulated to get non cumulative value if you want to apply again Cumulated, Result are again not correct.
Is there any known problem?

Knockout Group option not applied when saving to pdf

Hi!
Been working on a logo that features a realistic looking brushstroke - meaning vectorising the project features hundreds of differently shaded layers. The logo features a flower shape layer that needs to be cut out of the logo.
Question shortly: Is there a way to cut out the outline of the shape on a group that features 'say hundred' layers in different colours (about 30)
I've tried (without a desired result):
- Pathfinder - Minus Front (with click) not working with this group
- Pathfinder - Minus Front (alt/option + click) making it a compound path - not working because it turns the whole group into one colour
- Knockout Group option under opacity settings, which initially worked - but saving the file to pdf, the knockout group option is not working. It's either disabled or the flower shapes as knockout group are white.
Im using Adobe Illustrator CC
Thanks!

The "mask" object is not in the "Opacity Mask" thumbnail area in your first image. Make sure you layer the flower above the object(s), select all and choose "Make Opacity Mask" from the Transparency Panel flyout menu. This will make the top-most object a mask. You'll need to then turn OFF "clip" so the portion outside the mask is visible.
Should look something like this:
You can have more than one item on the Opacity mask and of different values. Color is ignored.
Please note: When first creating an Opacity mask AI will only recognize the top object (or compound shape). Thereafter, you can edit and create objects on the mask at will, just like working in normal mode. By default only the mask's "effect" is visible. To view ONLY the mask OPTION+Click the Mask thumbnail.

My Site Settings: Language Options not applied

On a SharePoint 2013 Server I want that the user be able to select is own My Site Language (as SP2010).
So, goingo to: Services Applications > User Profile Service > Setup My Sites:
And checking in the The Language Options checkbox (Allow user to choose the language of their personal site)
The above option doesn't result in any language selection prompt for the user on the My Site creation.
Ideas?

Hi falloutpt,
Based on the following article, user's My Site will be created with default, primary language of the SharePoint Server 2013 installation on the server by default, then user can change his my site to display other language installed, it should be different
from the SharePoint 2010.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262500.aspx#mui
"When enabled, users can use the multilingual user interface feature
for their My Sites. This feature is used to display the site's user interface in a secondary language that the user prefers instead of the default, primary language that was selected when the site was created.
By default, when a new site is created, it is created in the default, primary language of the SharePoint Server 2013 installation on the server. A farm administrator must install language packs on the server before sites can be created in languages
other than the default, primary language.
For My Sites, the multilingual user interface feature is controlled by the Language Options setting when you configure My Site settings. The languages that are available to users correspond to the language packs installed in the server
farm. For more information about language packs, see Install or uninstall language packs for SharePoint 2013."
Change and display language should also have changed in SharePoint 2013, user could display the My Site as other languages from IE language settings, which have being installed on SharePoint server.
