Another Way to Show Image-rich Documents

Hi Allen,

I don´t know if you are still looking for suggestions on this, but did you try the lightbox option in storyline? You can create a slide with a scrolling panel and show this in a lightbox when the user clicks on a button or something else. This slide with the scrollpanel you can delete from the menu so they can´t reach it any other way. Or multiple lightboxes however you want to design it. You could even create your own lightbox on a new layer of a slide, just create a for example 50% transparent background and a lightbox the way you want.

Hi Susi,

Thanks for your suggestion. That is a step in the right direction. However, I'm still having trouble with the pictures when I put the document contents into the scrolling panel. Copy/Paste gets the text but I have to put in each photo individually. The other problem is that I can't wrap the text around the picture as needed.

Thanks again,

Hey Allen,

yes Storyline unfortunately doesn´t have options like Word with text floating around images. An other option would be using a slider. I use them sometimes too if I have multiple layers with text. Or you can build your own little slidebased navigation (navigation through your layers). But I think you prefer to have everything on one slide. With a slider and animation paths you could show a very large document.

Susi,

Another great idea! Thank you. I will have to play around w/ both variations.

Thanks again,
