text in Fluid box will not force vertical height change

When I build a web page, the DIV will hold the content and grow vertically, or height, when resized on a different screen, like going from tablet to phone.
In Captivate, I can't get the fluid box to force the height of a page so that the user doesn't see the black text overlay Icon, I've highlighted it in the picture below.

How do I force that fuid box to display all the text in that column? I've tried many ways and it seems like Captivate forces page height to the original 627 px or a max height.  Any suggestions?

    Did you decrease the minimum font size? It is set by default to 14pt which is way too high. I always set it to 10 or even 8pt.

    Fluid boxes cannot be completely compared with the creation of a web page. Maybe you could switch to Breakpoint views workflow which gives you more control but has also some disadvantages.
