Hi there, Chanique!

Thanks for the screenshot, and so sorry you're seeing that. I'd like to help investigate, and have a few questions to start us off:

  • What version of Storyline are you using? You can find this detail by clicking on the Help tab, then About Storyline.

  • Is the course hosted on a web server or a learning management system?
  • If you can share the troublesome .story file for testing, that would be gold. We'll delete it after troubleshooting. If that works for you, send it along by using this private upload link!

Hi there,

We received two proposed solutions:

1) Use a separate textbox for the reference variables:
http://share.articulate.team/e23b2ac56cff. Take the variable and put it
into it's own text box right next to your text.

2) I found that importing the slides resolves the issue as seen in an iPad.
Here's a screenshot of my test result:
http://share.articulate.team/01cb0f74f6d8. Here's how to import slides from
one Storyline project into another:

Hi there, Simone!

Sorry you're at this roadblock, and I'm glad you reached out to us. I took a peek at your case where my teammate, Renson, logged the font size changes and text is compressed on a textbox/shape when there is a variable reference as a potential software bug. Specifically, with the modern player.

You're in the right place for all updates, and here's more insight on our process for tackling bugs!
