If you are copying text from one document (like Word) and want the formatting to stay as you paste it into Storyline how do you accomplish this?

Seems there may be a few ways, how do you do it?

Hi Tracy Parish,

Just decide your font for project and set it default. Then copy from your Word file in to Windows notepad it will removing your entire text format and give you basic text. Then paste it into storyline so it will take project font which you set for the project, and as per SB if you wish to make some bold, italic etc. just use shortcut.

I am using same I hope it will help you.

Hi Tracy,

To keep the source formatting intact while pasting from Word to Storyline, do the following:

  • Copy the text from Word
  • In Storyline, right click on the slide you want to paste
  • In the paste options displayed, select the icon with the brush shown. The tool tip says 'keep source formatting'

You now see the same formatting as was in Word.
