Cannot insert shapes on a slide properly

Nov 11, 2012

I have downloaded and installed the trial version of Articulate Storyline. I have created a new slide and added a background, but when I insert a shape or a character,  they do not appear on the slide correctly.

Here is a link to the screenshots:

Has anyone any ideas why this is please?

Thank you,

Kay

Hi Kay. Welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

If re-installing didn't help, you may want to check your current DPI settings. If your DPI is set to anything other than 96, it can cause this type of issue with Storyline content.

Here's some more information:

Storyline will function as expected when Windows is set to 96 DPI (dots per inch).

Storyline does not currently support 120 DPI. If your system is set to 120 DPI, you may experience erratic behavior, such as:

*  Elements of the application are misplaced or distorted.

*  Objects are misplaced or distorted when previewed or published.

*  Zoomed images don't work as expected.

Here's how you can switch to 96 DPI:

Check that out and let us know if you still experience this issue.

Thanks!
