My team is developing Google training for our district. When my team members open an Articulate Storyline story that I create, the text in text boxes changes size and location on many slides. I can open it up after they work on it and the text looks correct, if they did not change that slide. I can republish and everything is back in it's correct place. We are all working on PCs running Windows 7, but I am using a desktop and they are using laptops. What settings would be different and causing this?
Thanks Bruce, but all that is the same. We standardized that at the beginning. You can actually see the difference in the .story in edit mode. Could it be something in the settings for each computer or the screen resolution?
Have you looked into if you're both using the DPI 96 as mentioned here? You'll also want to be sure that when viewing the slides you're both looking at them at 100% zoom or else elements of the slide and text may be positioned incorrectly.
I think that might be it. Both of them had it set at DPI 120 zoomed to 125% and mine was set at DPI 96. They aren't happy about changing it, though. Thank you!
I understand - it does make the overall computer display smaller, but hopefully if they need to revert to 120 when they're not using Storyline they have access to those settings.
