Photo captions changed multiple photos
Hi everyone, when I change, the caption, of a selected photo in gallery 2, the caption is changed in three photos.
The same caption gets typed, as I type caption for the one I select.
I realize this is something elementary for members here, but I am trying to build my first Web Designer MX 8 site,
and this is driving me nuts.
Please have mercy and point me in the right direction.
All the best, Robertg

Hi Robertg :D welcome to TG
It may be that you are selecting the group of thumbnails rather than individual images. Hold down the CTRL key when you click the one you wish to change the caption on.

Hi Drwyd, that doesn't work either.
Thanks anyway, Robertg

Could you upload your .WEB file ?

In WD MX, only Gallery 1 or Gallery 6 appear to have captions. Is 1 or 6 the Gallery you refer to?
In Gallery 1 & 6, to change the default captions, just use the text tool then select the text to change. No need to un group or ctrl+select.

Hi everyone, I am posting screen grab, to show what is going on with my project.
Drwyd, do you mean to upload my whole project, it's 15 MB?
Sledger, Gallery 2 is the next page from Gallery 1, not from another template.
Thanks, for your help, Robertg

Right - you can see where I got confused.
Yes, 15Mb won't upload here, the limit is 10Mb.
Maybe try largedocument.com and post the URL here?
Re: Photo captions changed multiple photos
Hi everyone, I've posted my web file to MediaFire, and a link here.
Your advice is appreciated.
The problem is with Gallery 2, the captions change, on unselected photos, when changing text on selected.
Thanks, Robertg

Re: Photo captions changed multiple photos
hi the way to do it is to click on a photo to make it active - then goto arrange>remove soft group - then edit the text with the text tool - when done click the selector tool (arrow at top of tools) then drag a box around all the photos and text top select them all then goto arrange>apply soft group - then you can move all photos into position .

:think: Hmmm, very strange. Not sure how those text objects got linked.
Trukkerz method will work.
