I want to do something quite simple (at least it was simple in CC).
I have a record form and I want to add more text underneath the existing caption.
I want this new text to be smaller and I need to remove the Bold font style.
But the font size has no effect on the selected text and the bold font option
can't be removed. Why? TIA

Brent,
add Label type field from Control tab to the same table cell and modify its setting in Properties window on Format tab.

Nicole,
I had already tried that. Removing the "Bold" and changing "Font Size" has
no effect on the label or on the simple caption text. However everything else,
like font color, background color, italic, underline all work. Just not Bold and
Font Size. Have you, or anyone else, been able to change these two settings
for a record field caption? I don't want to waste any more time on it if is a CCS bug
or some sort of theme restriction. I was able to do this quite easily in CC so I
thought it should be possible in CCS.

Brent,
please check Theme settings. I suppose Theme is applied to the Label field and it could contain font settings.

Nicole,
It looks like you're right. If the <TD> class for the caption is set to any theme,
like CaravanFieldCaptionTD, then I can't change the font size or remove the bold font style.
I wasn't able to remove the bold or change the font size even in the HTML editor. 
(If I remove the class, then it removes the background color too along with the
3D background bevel).
HTML code for caption:
<tr>
<td class="CaravanFieldCaptionTD">Description<br>
<em><font size="5" style=normal color="red">(please be brief))</em></font></td>
<td class="CaravanDataTD"><textarea class="CaravanTextarea" name="description" rows="3" cols="50">{desc}</textarea> </td>
</tr>
Here I can change the text I added "(please be brief)" to red or italicize it,
but I can't make it normal (non-bold) or reduce it's font size. These attributes
are ignored.
Does anyone have any ideas? TIA

Brent,
the workaround is to edit style settings for separate table cell.
CCS includes strong dialogs for styles editing. Go to table cell with desired field, right click on it and select '<TD> Properties'. In opened dialog click on Style button. You'll be presented with Style Properties window. Check <ThemeName>DataTD to be selected in Class list and click Edit. In Modify Style dialog select desired item (FONT in your case) and make changes. Save setting by clicking OK in all windows.
Generate page and see the results.
