Question

Change font size of glossary or wrap definition text?

I am using Captivate 2017 and I inserted the Glossary Learning Interaction.  I have some long terms that are getting cut off on the list on the left.  For example, with the term "Departure Sequencing Program" only "Departure" shows in the left column.  Is there a way to use a smaller font in the glossary so that more text shows and/or wrap the text of terms?  Thanks!

Hi, Even I face the same issue but I somehow manage with the javascript code.

you can try this out script below if you want.

Step 1: First change the Widget name as per screenshot below:

Step 2 : Copy the javascript code below and paste into the javascript editor in OnEnter action.

var iFrame = $('#Glossary iframe')[0].id;

setTimeout(function(){

$('#'+iFrame).contents().find('tr td').css({'font-size':'8px'});

},300);

Lilybiri​ Even though text size does not look grayed out, it is functionally grayed out - nothing happens when I click on the box.

Thanks, ankits61431843, the javascript seemed to decrease the size of the definition heading.  How would I decrease the size of the terms bar text and label text (the column of terms on the left)?  Thanks, Nancy

Of course you can doubt my words, here is a screenshot, where I have changed the font size to 10pt:

Did you customize already? Use Custom button, it is possible to change the font and the font size.

Hi Lilybiri, I hadn't noticed the customize button.  I tried that, but it would only allow me to change font type (I changed Arial to Arial Narrow).  The selection box for font size was grayed out except for Content Label Text.  Should I put in a bug report for that?  Thanks!

Hmm.... I tested before answering and was able to reduce font size to 10pt instead of the default 14 points. It is sometimes tricky, maybe I used arrow keys to decrement font size, not just typing. It is not greyed out for me. Not sure if it is a bug or something on your system. Do you run Captivate as admisitrator if you are on Windows?
