Copying Quiz slides between projects causes Fatal Error

We have always created a standard set of quiz questions with our ‘standard’ background/formatting. We’ve been able to copy/paste these slides from project to project. I recently updated our backgrounds/style standards. For some reason we can no longer copy/paste any quiz question from one project to another, it causes a Fatal Error and shuts down Captivate. Any idea why? We are still running 11.5.5.

I will have a full review and tutorial on this game-changing feature, but for now, you can get a sense of what’s coming from the sneak peek I did last year with Sharath from Adobe:

How to change the text colour of an external link within a text box

I ask myself the question in the elaboration of a project: How to adjust the color of a link within a continuous text, since it is not changed via the normal text editor and also in the project properties no corresponding color code for link URLs is possible.
