Problem with smart shape text captions in Responsive

Advocate ,
Nov 21, 2015 Nov 21, 2015

I have slides with many text captions, all of which are smart shapes with text inside them. Any tips on how can I prevent the text from being cut off in the smaller breakpoints would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried different settings, but nothing works well. I'd prefer to avoid manually editing and resizing the text captions each break point.

Did you set up the styles for the shapes in the Object Style Manager to change the font size in each breakpoint? As for the shape size how did you set up the Position panel for those shapes? Do not be naive, Jay, a responsive project needs a lot more time to create. You'll have to edit three situations instead of one, but the right setup can save some time. I know that marketing is telling another story

I agree that responsive take much more time to set up 3 break points, and if a developer wants 5 break points, even more time. It helps that an object can be positioned to the left, right, top or bottom of another object.  I wish there was a way to position an object to the center of another object -- that would be a helpful improvement,

...or being able to position groups with all possibilities in Position panel, right?

Excellent suggestion about groups, Lilybiri. That would be a great enhancement.

I much prefer to control everything on a slide the using Desktop breakpoint because even with tweaking individual breakpoints objects can go wonky in between breakpoints if a learner has a screen size in between breakpoints. Not to mention all the extra time involved. So the more positioning options the merrier, and I love your idea of positioning groups.
