My text is showing up with out indents.

I'm getting my 1st level bullets and 2nd level bullets but the extra indent I requested by pressing the indent button is not showing up when I do a HTML5 preview.

    Text formatting is one area that doesn't work so well, or not at all with Captivate. About the only thing you can do is to get it reasonably correct on one break point, and then right-click on your text caption or shape containing text and select Apply text and text properties to all views. It should look reasonably okay on all breakpoints at that point.

    Then go here:

    and submit a feature request for improved text formatting and paragraph spacing. Maybe one day your and my wish will be granted.

      Thanks Paul.

      VERY depressing about the text functionality in Captivate.

      Maybe take a look at this video. I tried to come up with a solution. It isn't ideal but it's a workaround for certain situations.

        Is this an imported PowerPoint?

        Nope. Native Captivate.

        AND the numbering doesn't render correctly either!

        Looks like this:

        1)

        2)

        3)

        4)

        5)

        6)

        7)

        8)

        9)

        10)

        SHOULD LOOK LIKE THIS:

          1)

          2)

          3)

          4)

          5)

          6)

          7)

          8)

          9)

        10)
