Formatting bullets in the Notes pane

Feb 19, 2013

Hi All,

Apologies again if this has been asked/answered elsewhere, but I can't find a solution anywhere and I'm sure it's easy as pie!

I am using the notes pane in an Articulate course to display the transcript of audio for each course, on many slides this contains bullet points, which automatically wrap fully left-aligned, that is, the second and subsequent lines of a bullet point start directly beneath the bullet, NOT directly beneath the start of the first line of text.

Any ideas? Thanks

Hey Steven!

Can you share a screenshot of how the bullets are aligning? I've added some bullets to the text in the notes panel, with left align formatting and they seem to be lined up for me.

Is this how it looks for you too? If not, can you tell me what font you're using and the size? I can try that out and see if I experience the same thing.

Thanks!

Hi Christine

This is how the bullets were appearing for me. If you notice, the bullets with multiple lines are wrapping beneath the bullet itself, rather than indented to to the start-point of the first line of text. 

I've fixed it now, but only by copying and pasting a bulleted list from a previously correctly formatted slide! I have no idea which settings are implemented to ensure they wrap the correct way as below!

If you happen to know where I change those settings for future projects that would be great

Thanks

Just to be clear... I'm not referring to editing the Notes Panel at the bottom of the PowerPoint slide; instead, be sure you're clicking the "Notes Page" button in the View tab of PowerPoint. Then highlight the text containing your buttons. You should see the ruler at the top with the indentation settings, just like in Microsoft Word. You can drag those left or right until you get the indentation you're after.
