Trying to add text field to Story content type in ProsePoint

Is anyone here familiar with ProsePoint? I'm working on a test site ... I want to have photos with credits and cutlines (captions), and I need the captions to be formatted to have a bold "kicker" that leads off the caption (the rest of the caption being in normal text).

That's not possible with the way that embedded images are handled in ProsePoint ... which is fine; I was able to set up a Photo group on another Drupal test site -- inside the Photo group was a credit field (as a node reference, so each photographer gets his/her own node) and a cutline field (text area).

So I tried to set up the same thing in ProsePoint ... and ran into some difficulties.

First, the cutline field is not showing up at all in the form to create or edit a story.

Second, I had to move the Photo group to be above the Body field, so that the Photo group will float beside the body on the page. When I did this, the form to edit/create a story behaved oddly -- the Photo group ended up between the heading for the Body field and the text area for the Body field.

See attached screenshots for clarification.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, I finally figured out that I caused the weird alignment problem with the Photo group in the "Create Story" form because I didn't restrict the "float" for the CSS for the Photo group to the Story node. So I fixed that problem.

But I have discovered that I cannot add a text-area field to ANY content type in ProsePoint. I even tried creating a new content type and adding the cutline text-area field to it; the field didn't show up in the "Create" form.

Any ideas about what may be causing this problem or how to fix it?

It just occurred to me that I have CCK permissions turned on; I had to give myself permission to see the new field. Lesson learned!
