Data entry - collecting the information
Feb 28, 2019
Hello smart people! Just trying to 'tweek' the data entry function a little. Capturing input from students throughout a learning package, and its working a 'treat' however the output doesn't stay inside either a 'styled' text box or a shape box. It keeps popping outside the boundary. I checked both my data entry and reference collection settings and have them set for: 'shrink text on overflow', 'wrap text in shape'. But it doesn't change how its displaying, which is outside the box. Its not a huge problem. At least its capturing what I need, but it would be handy to keep it inside a styled box. Thank you 'smart people'

Hey Kim,
Thanks for reaching out and letting us know what you see in your course.
I do see a similar report when the text entry field has a height of less than 60px. Does that sound like what you may be running into as well?
If so, the workaround we have at this time is to use a text entry box larger than 60px.
I was having the same problem and then when I changed the size from 56 to 61px, it worked! Thanks for the tip, Leslie.
Glad that this was able to help you out as well Libby :) Thanks for chiming in to share.
