Project Displaying Differently on Preview

When building a project within captivate I have specific text boxes that are aligned a certain way. However, when previewing the project the alignment is off from where I have set it. I'm attaching screen shots to show my issue. Any assistance would be fantastic!

I'm using the google font Oswald so I was told that this should work across browsers.

    Correct answer Lilybiri

    Hi Lilbiri,

    Yes - I was setting the "Image Credit" text to a 10 pt. font.

    To clarify (sorry - new to captivate) what do you mean by that I am overriding object styles. Can you provide me an example of what you mean.

    Finally, When you say to split the text container in two fluid boxes, would you do one for the title (i.e.. Option 1, Option 2, Option 3) and one for the content?  With that logic in mind, i would want to do a third for the "Image Credit" as well - OR am I not understanding.  Sorry to be such a PITA!


    New to Captivate! Why start with a Fluid Boxes project, before knowing the basics.

    We are not talking about ths same with minimum font size, which is typical for fluid boxes. It is the minimum size to which a font can be rescaled when changing browser resolutions. It probably is still set to 14 points. But you formattes some text on the primary view to a smaller font size, that will not be possible!.

    Captivate is a style-based application. Object styles are part of the theme which is the real base of the design in each project. I blogged about object styles and the object style manager.

    Object Styles in a Theme - Captivate blog

    Manage the Object Style Manager! - Captivate blog

    You see a + sign in the Style field, whcih means the style is overriden. If you later want to change a small thing to the style, the overriden objects will not be automatically be updated. Overriding styles is a bad practice.

    Which version do you use? Are you publishing to HTML (hope so)? Not sure that this font will display correctly, I do use Typekit fonts, but that is only possible with CP2017. Is this a non-responsive or a responsive project?

    It is an HTML and also being used through 2017. This project was set up

    as a responsive project.

    Thank you for your response
