How can you publish selectable text?

Hi. I’m wondering whether it’s possible to publish a Captivate 2019 file in HTML5, with text that users can select, such as to copy and paste. I’m referring to text in text captions and shapes. I’ve tried assigning variables to the text but the published results are always the same. I can’t select the text in the published output, even when I’ve published it as HTML5. Any answers or insights would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Captivate 2019; Glossary Widget

Does anyone know if there is a limit to the amount of data that can be added to the Captivate 2019 Glossary widget? I recently added additional terms to our current Glossary and uploaded it to our intranet work site. NONE of the new terms show up when searched on the intranet work site. They are in the Glossary when viewed/working in Captivate 2019….they don’t show up after the Glossary is uploaded……what’s up with that???
