Captivate 7 truncated text when using variables.

[HFSG1]

I'm using Captivate 7 and am experiencing truncated text when I use variables in text captions. I have a text entry box that I have assigned a variable of "v_name" to. In a text caption I have the following: "$$v_name$$ to display the text stored in the variable. I know there's a way to adjust the length of the variable but I can't seem to locate in this version!

Do not type '$$var$$' in the text caption, but insert it using the X-button (near the Symbol button) in the Character part of the Properties panel. In the dialog box you'll find a way to increase the length of the inserted variable.

Thanks for the memory jogger!

One of the hazards of not being a frequent e-learning developer is forgetting things.
