Gloassary Interaction
Dec 19, 2011
Does anyone else come across this or am I just the lucky one that this type of stuff happens to 
.
The interaction seems to work fine if the user only clicks on the words listed to the left under "Select a term" but if the user decides to click on one of the letters from up above then a button appears under the text to the left that states "Showing: N" or whatever the letter is that the learner selects. I would prefer to not lock down the module just so the learner can choose what they would like to read about but I can if that is the only option available.

Hey Adam,
I may not be clear on what you are asking, but if you are talking about getting rid of the letters going across the top of the glossary so that the learner only needs to click on the words to the left, then you can disable the filter in the interaction properties to do that.
Hi Ron,
No I would like to be able to keep the filters, what I'm asking if anyone seems to have the same problem that I am coming across when clicking on the letters up above. (see image below) If the learner, for example clicks on the letter "N" a button appears under the text "SHOWING: N" where as when all of the words are shown to the left and the user just clicks on the words there, there isn't an issue with a button appearing (as shown with the red box).
Does anyone else come across this issue? I would like to keep the setting where people can select the letters instead of just the words but if there is no work around I guess I control that.
Hey Adam.
I see what you are referring to now. I cannot seem to replicate the issue - see pic to see what it is supposed to do.
What font are you using? Has your text DPI been changed from 96?
I don't believe it has to do with the DPI because doesn't that have to do strictly with Presenter? This issue that I am having even occurs just when previewing the Engage Interaction as a standalone but if it is possibly the DPI, how do I check the DPI of my text in the engage interaction? As for the font, this is what I have. Could it be a font issue?
The DPI Issue is a Windows setting - but it can effect Presenter and the other Articulate tools and menus.
This may help.

Also, do you get these results when you use the standard Articulate font?
My setting is 96 DPI and when both fonts are set to the standard Articulate font, it gives me better results but are still fairly close together. Does the Term List Width setting in the properties help space this out? I currently have it set for 30%
Adam,
I just tried the interaction with Engravers MT - results were strange for me as well. I would opt for another font.
Term width does impact - the default is 40%
Ok, thanks Ron! I was able to fix the issue...Just wish we could use all of the fonts that are supplied to us without having to change much in the properties :(
