Hi,
I'm trying to create a live caption, but when it appears all of the text lands on top of itself. see below.. how can I ensure the caption is evenly spaced? My static caption works fine, just the live version does this.

Hi @lucille28572272agab ,
you cannot avoid that with live captions. The text contens of the used text variable is too long to fit in one line of text.
Note, that the contents of text variables cannot break for e.g. hyphenation or running on to a second line.
To avoid that you could use static captions.

Hmm!…
The right question seems to me: "Why use a live caption?"
If the op's answer is: "… Just because …!"
My own answer will surely be: "OK!".
I mean: Use a live caption that allows a break line!
I will come back later.

It drives me nuts that live captions (and variables) still can't break across lines. Please vote for the feature request here:

It drives me nuts that ID has, probably, the worst and least useful captions feature of any page program I've ever used. Finding out that it's subject to the "no wrap variable" bug is just a moldy cherry on top. 😛
