Is there any way to curve text within a shape, in this case an arc? I've set the shape properties to Wrap Text in Shape, but because Storyline is keeping the bounding box around the arc as square, it's fitting the text to this square shape, rather than to the arc. Can I work around this?
Hi Adina! You're right: Storyline will keep that bounding box as a square which is likely inconvenient for you. Could you submit a feature request on this to our product development team? It sounds like a great functionality.
You could import that slide into Storyline and even adjust the degree/size of the arc once it's in there! Welcoming other suggestions from community members, too! :)
Thanks Crystal! I will definitely submit a feature request. I came up with a similar workaround. I created the curved text in PowerPoint and saved it as in image, which I then imported in to Storyline and resized.

In the meantime, I have a hacky workaround if you have PowerPoint. You can use PowerPoint to transform the shape of your text and then import that slide into Storyline. Here's a document we found on arching your text in PowerPoint:
