Copying text as an image in Storyline 3 vs Storyline 2

Apr 11, 2017

Hi,

In Storyline 2, I use to copy paste text to allow readers to zoom in. This allowed me to add more stuff on a single slide. However, when I do the exact same thing in Storyline 3, the image is blurry. So, when readers click to Zoom In, they can barely read the text.

Thanks for that context, Karim. I copied a table from PowerPoint into Storyline 3, and I also saw bluriness in the pasted picture. I'm going to bring this to our team, and we'll take a closer look to verify whether this is a bug. Sometimes my team catches errors in my logic and we don’t have a bug after all. Of course if that’s the case, I’ll let you know!

As a workaround for now, try right-clicking the table in PowerPoint and selecting Save As Picture. Then in Storyline, click Insert > Picture from file, and select the table image. You shouldn't see any bluriness using this method. Give that a try, and let me know if that works better for you. 

And stay tuned, because we're adding a tables feature to Storyline 3 soon! You can keep up with all of the upcoming releases on our What's New in Storyline 3 page here

Hi Crystal, 

Please see the attachments for an example. I'm copy pasting from PowerPoint into Storyline 3. The first attachment is the original 'image' that I created in PPT, the second attachment shows what the image looks like when pasted into Storyline. Note: the 'image' is not saved in PPT as a picture, it's simply a shape with text.
