But if there is something that relates and you feel […]

How to size Character Assets

I’ve just started using Adobe Captivate 13. When I add character assets to different slides, I’m noticing that the assets are sized differently. This looks funny when going from slide to slide. In Adobe Captivate Classic, it was easy to make sure that assets were sized the same from slide to slide. I’m not sure of how to do this in 13.

How Do You Stay Updated with New Captivate Features and eLearning Trends?

This discussion invites eLearning professionals and Adobe Captivate users to share how they stay updated with new Captivate features and emerging eLearning trends.

Fonts in Published Captivate Project do not Match the Font Selected

I am having trouble with almost all of my Adobe Captivate SCORM files. I am using Captivate 12.6 and viewing them on a Google Chrome browser version 141.0. My SCORM reporting is 2004.

As you can see by the screenshots, my headers are sometimes published in Poppins Bold 700 and sometimes not. This happens roughly 30-40% of the time in each published project. I have repeatedly verified my theme settings for the headings and they are set correctly. It does not matter if I choose a built-in widget or customize the settings myself. In the screenshots you can see the first one is using a single media block with text on the right side. The one that is correct is using a single media block with text on the left side. It just randomly decides which ones to use. I have some that are correct with text on the right side of the slide, so it is not the selected object I am using.

My agency’s font family is Poppins, so I need to use it on our projects to meet branding requirements.

Thank you,
Sandra Ray
