Question

Layout changes when publishing

Hey

I created a template in Adobe Captivate 8, which I still use today in Adobe Captivate 2019. In this template I use a fixed text caption as title. When published, this title will appear in a different place, not at the top of the slide. What is possible to avoid this? Thanks in advance for the tips & tricks!

    Since some years and version templates (cptl-files) are buggy.  In most cases a theme will be sufficient, but have no idea what you have in that 'template', not even if it is indeed a cptl-file. Terminology is a big problem.

    Did you ever upgrade the Theme in the different versions? Themes have changed a lot especially in the most recent version 11.5. I don't know which exact version you are using neither, because CP2019 has 5 different releases. Which OS?

    Text captions are almost unused in the Themes packaged with Captivate, they have been replaced by Shapes. Is your 'title' based on a placeholder? Are you creating a responsive or a non-responsive project? Lot of unknown details. 

    It is possible that your 'template' is not compatible anymore, or even corrupted. But too many questions in my comment here, it is just a guess.

      Hey
      Thank you for the quick response. I now notice that it is indeed difficult to answer my question, I have clearly shared too little information for that. But the feedback received is certainly helpful; I'll try to create a new template in the most recent release of Adobe Captive!

      Please, not a template! At least if you mean a cptl file. Cannot you reach your goal with a Theme? I have published about 20 blogs about themes. A reference pdf with all links to be found in:

      BTW Spreekt u Nederlands? De naam 'Stijn' doet een belletje rinkelen.
