Captivate 6 - long numbered lists

I am working in Captivate 6 and need to include a numbered list that is too long to fit into a single text box. Unfortunately, the part of the list in the second text box restarts at number 1, and there does not seem to be a way to tell it to start at a higher number. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hello Greg ,

Welcome to Adobe Forums!

You can create a list in Microsoft word and then copy and paste directly into Captivate.

Thanks and Regards

Himanshu - thanks for that. I tried it, and still the numbers start at 1

Rod - surely there must be a way to do this without hand numbering a list? It's a fairly basic requirement for anyone trying to convert documents for on-line use

Cheers

Captivate is not MS Word or Framemaker and it's not straight HTML. (Captions and all static text they contain gets turned into graphics when published.)

There is no option to restart numbering on a list.

There would be overly complex ways of setting the numbering if your text was all generated dynamically from variables.

But why do something complex like that when all you need to do is start each line by typing a number. It's the easiest way.

Hi all

OK - I think I interpreted Himanshu's guidance too literally. I solved this by creating the list in Word, then doing a screen capture, cutting out the list and pasting that image onto my Captivate slide. Worked a treat
