I am creating a slide where student's would write a 2-3 paragraph response within the slide. I think I would incorporate a data entry and choose text entry. If the paragraph response is longer than the text entry field, do I add a scrolling window and input the text entry into the scrolling window.
Then, I would like the student's response to show up on another slide (Insert Reference) and be able to email their paragraph response to the teacher from that slide.
Best ideas on how to incorporate this idea or a better way on how to do this?
Matthew, you clame Storyline automatically adds the scrolling window. In my current project, i use multiple text entry fields in one slide. Some are a bit small. The smalles 48 pixels high. Others are bigger, 64 pixels. with the bigger ones, the scrolling window appears. With the smaller one's, it does not. You just get one line with no end. You cant use enter to create an new line and scrolling window.
Do you have a answer to that? I cant create bigger text entry's
The only answer is that SL will add the scrolling, but only if the original window is a certain minimum size. It seems that 61 pixels is the minimum to get the scrolling, and it doesn't seem to be influenced by the size of the text inside it.

Thank you for your response! I will try "my hand" at adding the javascript
for printing and email. I look forward to trying this!
