No bullets
No bullets
What is your solution for bullets in text boxes in Capture? I can't find them anywhere, so I can only assume it's not possible. Using a dash before each line doesn't give me a very good alignment (no hanging indent), and forcing a return and pressing the space key doesn't align the "hanging" indent very well. Any thoughts?

Re: No bullets
My solution is a terrible one. I put each bulleted item into it's own text box, use the insert image feature to put in bullet next to it, and align the individual boxes.
I have to admit that I am very frustrating with MadCap about their capture software because it has SO MUCH potential (for instance the ability to put a snippet into an image would be fantastic), but they haven't bothered to update it since 2015. At this point I'm considering getting my company to buy a third-party product, but I'd rather have some of the native capabilities, so I haven't pulled the trigger on that yet.

Re: No bullets
Oh contraire mon ami. The one other thing that needs to be said is that Madcap Pretends to support this product, but they really don't. They should just admit that they are done with it, so that I can tell my company that Madcap isn't supporting their product and then have a strong argument for getting something else.ChoccieMuffin wrote:Snagit from Techsmith.

That said, I think that's the way I'm going to go.
Re: No bullets
Fair enough. I wish they would support it though because the integration between the images and the software is excellent. It's so easy to update images without needing to search for where they are. It's sad if they are letting it go. I do have access to so many other image software tools, including snag-it and the entire Adobe suite, but the integration is such a time saver.... sigh
