Plainly stated, there isn't support for that level of text controls within Captivate for any platform.

Some text will be output as a graphic upon publishing, but other forum posters have complained that it's converted to a web-safe font before that happens.

Building the backgrounds as a layered Photoshop image, with smart-objects, will likely be your best approach for getting that level of control. You'll need to manage the resolution carefully if you have bandwidth restrictions for publishing.

Thanks, that sounds like a reasonable workaround.

The leading is in the text caption properties panel. It is labeled "Spacing".

That only allows you to go as low as 1, I need the two lines of text to be snug up against one another. Since it's just two lines of text, I can have each be their own text caption box and get them as close as I want, just an extra few steps to make effect adjustments to each so they match.
