Possible to change review text color and wording

Report · Oct 02, 2013

I've searched high and wide to try changing the text color for the review mode field "CORRECT ANSWERS" that shows on a fill in the blank/ short answer question. Ideally I'd like white text (it's set at black) and I'd like to have it say "Correct answer(s)" or even somethinge else. I don't like the all caps that's used either.

I've looked at the Object Style Manager but I don't see this particular field available/editable. Has anyone found where in the c:\Program Files\Adobe... files this setting is controlled - a .dll, .xml, .txt? I don't mind changing it to white there if I have to.

Welcome to the forum,

Which version of Captivate do you use? If it is CP6 or later, which theme did you use? I see a playbar that is not fitting at all with the background, how does the master slide for MCQ/TF/Sequence look?

Hi, thanks. Cap 7. I whipped up that course from scratch, no particular theme applied. Also to answer your question, I looked at the master slide and that particular review mode field isn't present, just the initial objects like the text input field.It's frustrating how everything but the CORRECT ANSWERS label is editable via the Object Style Manager. Why they forgot to include it is beyond me. I'm left at using "Hack a Cap" methodology by looking at all the .dll, txt. xml files hoping to fix it there because as far as I know you can't just turn the CORRECT ANSWERS field off even if you wanted to. Unfortunately almost all of our screenshots in our courses will have a royal blue background.

You always use a theme, you just cannot escape from it

But you are right, there is no way to change the color of that label, and on dark backgrounds it is looking ugly. Moreover since those labels are always on top of the stack, there is no way to get rid of them.

Yes always have a theme. I think this issue is in all themes, the review mode code I'm sure applies to all. Anyone else out there found a hack/fix...even down to the Captivate install files on c: somewhere?
