Adjusting text entry fields for Test Me activities

Apr 09, 2021

Hi, 

I've been building out a Test Me activity, and am trying to see if the text entry box can be modified to display a smaller type size. I've tried adjusting the font using the ribbon commands, and also the alignment in the Format Shape window, but the text keeps getting cut off (see attached). I'm certain there's a simple answer I'm missing, but I have no idea what it could be.

Hi, Jason.

Thank you for reaching out! 

Based on the screenshot you shared, it looks like the font is too large for the textbox's size. There are three ways you can do this, depending on your final goal:

  • Adjust the font, so it fits within the textbox you currently have.
  • Adjust the textbox, so you don't have to change the font.

  • Have Storyline do it for you: you can right-click the textbox, choose Format Shape, then Text Box. Select the Resize shape to fit text option.

Let me know if this works!
