Question

Why do the text appears differently between captivate and my browser?

I encountered many problems with the text boxes when I am publishing my projetc. Everything looks OK in CAPTIVATE and when I check it in the web browser, many bottoms of the text boxes do not appear. Is there anything I can do to solve that?

Even in the quizz, if an answer  takes more than one line, I cannot see the second line in the web browser.

Thanks in advance for your help.

There is some discrepancy between the text area in Captivate and what shows up when published. Be sure to make the text containers (you didn't tell if you use shapes or captions) big enough, especially the height to take care of that. This is not really linked with the total resolution of the project at all, maybe BDuckWorks can explain why he is showing that as a solution? Maybe we understand the question differently.

Quiz formatting is a pain, especially if you have long answers (design supposes you have only short answers). You have to make the answer area bigger, each individual answer box bigger, and have them distribute vertically. I sincerely hope this cumbersome workflow would once be improved, have logged a feature request since many versions.

In addition to Adobe supposing your answers are short, I found it problematic to see the full text of answers when I asked Captivate to shuffle answers. I clear that option box whenever a question has long answers that would create the problem of needing more room for the answer spaces in a multiple choice question.

The work flow I explained (cumbersome) has to be followed when you want to shuffle answers as well: all answer bounding boxes need to have the same height (maximum of all answers) and distributed vertically.

Confirm that your project size / resolution match the final output size for your device.

If you are supporting multiple devices for playback, you should consider building the project as a responsive project using one of the pre-defined sizes.
