For both vision and design reasons, very many people, particularly i the design and authoring spheres) have been using dpi settings higher than 96 for many years. Using 96 on a monitor larger than 15-in becomes uncomfortable and well-nigh impossible on anything larger than 17. IEven 125 is getting pretty low for today's monitor resolutions and I know people using 150+. I myself use133 by preference on my 17-in. I refuse to be forced to change dpi just to suit on vendor, so I'm forced to keep a 15 laptop on hand, just to ensure the integrity of my QuizMaker and Engage components (with all the palaver of transferring filesback and forth that that entails).
(Incidentally, I suspect that many undiagnosed problems are down to this dpi issue, easy to diagnose where the enquirer includes a grab showing the distorted interface (such as in this thread) but not always suspected where not.)
I agree, thank you both. We may not always get the answers we're looking for, but we get the answers. I have chosen to live with the truncation until Articulate corrects the increases theirs. I have a great screen that allows me to do more. I don't want to lose that.

Hi Greg! Perhaps your system is set to something other than 96DPI. Here's how to check, and also how to change it tot he supported setting: http://www.articulate.com/support/engage09/kb/?p=71

Definitely needs an overdue fix, this.

Thank you Ben, for taking the time to share your feedback (both here and in the other thread).
