Storyline is really small when launched from PowerPoint

Oct 02, 2015

When I click on any of the options in the "Articulate" tab the items that open are incredibly small and often some of the features are not available...I can't get to them.

For example. When I click on "Player" the window is very small and nothing inside the window re-sizes if I make the window bigger. Further, some of the items I need to access are unavailable. Specifically, the "Other" option that should be "Custom" pane at the top.

Please, refer to this quick video for specific examples.

I'm running Win8.1 (Blech!) and Studio '13 (7.1509.1618)

I've added another screenshot showing the crazy-small window that opens when I click "Quizmaker Quiz"

Hi John!

Looks like you are utilizing a larger DPI setting on your computer, which can cause issues like you are describing.

Right-click your desktop and select Personalize.
Click Display in the lower left corner of the window that appears.
Drag the slider to Smaller.
Click Apply.

You may be prompted to restart your computer for the change to take effect.

Thanks Leslie,

That seems to have fixed it. It makes the other Windows applications quite small, but at least I can get to all the Articulate settings. I can just move it back when I'm done.

I'm hopeful I can move to Storyline 2 soon.
