Custom Captions CP7 half work, half don't. confused.

Question

Hi,I am trying to create some custom captions to work with my project. I really need them to be custom captions instead of smart shapes so I can just replace the ones that CP creates in a recording with my set. I have created the 5 different images and saved as bmp files. Actually, I created 1, then flipped and rotated to get the other 3 with the pointers/tails on them in the right direction. I have my fcm files that I used from when I did this a loooonnnngggg time ago. Here's the weird thing, the up right and up left work great! The other 3 don't display correctly. They are not totally filled in with my color leaving a large trasnparent margin around the edges and you can't even see the tails. I'm so confused! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx,  Lori

It looks a bit like you may have forgotten the fact that Captivate takes the pixel in the top left corner of the graphic and sets that colour as transparent.

So make sure that you position the graphic on its background so that the top left pixel is not the same colour as the caption itself (e.g. blue in your example) otherwise you'll get odd results.
