bullets and Transparent text boxes

Hi Rick,

Let me describe what is happening a little more clearly. Here is the basics so maybe you can reproduce it. I belive I did come up with a fix for myself.

1) Add a background image to the slide that is merged not an overlay image
- My image is a png file imported into the library and added to every slide. It has a solid light blue background with a dark blue strip on top and a brand from the client at the top left (very basic)
2) Add a transparent text box caption
3) Add text that includes bullet points

Result: When you put a text caption with bullets over a slide background that is an image(even solid color) you get a ghost that oulines the text caption dimensions. If the text caption doesn't have bullets, the ghost outline doesn't appear, but the text is blurry. Obviously the text can be fixed by highlighting on character in #C0C0C0.

My temporary fix: Because the ghost ouline seems to appear when a text caption with bullets is on top of a background image, I modifed my background image so that the light blue part (this is the area when all the content will be) is actually transparent and no longer a color. I then set color for all slides backgrounds to be the light blue that was origninally in my image. This seems to work, but there are some color fading issues that I need to explore and work out more.

Thanks much and look forward to pushing the boundaries of Captivate once I my head around it more.

P.S If I have a background image on each screen (branding and consistent purposes), when I set up a simulation, do I have to merge each screen shot into the background or can the screen shots created by Captivate just overlay my background image.
