Question

How do I increase responsive slide height without stretching the slide?

In a responsive project in Captivate 9, I want to increase the slide height so text at the bottom will scroll. I unlink the slide height from the device height, and then increase the slide height. Doing so stretches the spacing between all the objects the slide, including objects on the master slide. I don't want that - I just want to add space at the bottom. is there a way I can accomplish just adding space at the bottom without changing the spacing on the rest of the slide?

    Thanks for pointing me in the right position.  What works is keeping the objects absolute and using pixels for all position settings, including the master slide elements. This "locks down" the objects and keeps them in position as I add more space to the bottom of the slide.

    That will keep all objects to their original size, but be careful to test in many circumstances because this could mean that objects start to overlap on certain screen resolutions. Personally I will seldom use an absolute size (pixels) in responsive projects, The % combined with Auto or the relative % often give the best results.

      Check what you have set on the Position Properties tab.  You may have Smart Positioning turned on when you don't want it.

      Thanks for the reply. None of the objects on the slide, or on the master slide, have Smart Positioning turned on. Is there a more global setting somewhere that might be causing this?

      Hi there,

      Looks like I have the same problem, I want to increase the height of my slide, but everything stretches to fill out the added space. Did you ever figure out what to do?

      thanks,
