Is there a way to control the size of the published output?

Feb 16, 2013

Hello again

I've created a slide which I published to HTML 5 (story_html5) and the text in one of the callouts spilled over..

Searched the forums and saw that there was a discussion in Articulate Engage regarding an optimal resize output setting. Is there something similar in Storyline? Also, when looking at the story file (no _html5) output which seems to be an embedded Flash, the containing frame can't be resized to be zoomed in or out (it's a bit small for me).

Many thanks, Donna

Hi Donna,

I apologize, but I'm not quite sure I'm understanding what's happening, or what you'd like to do. You mentioned that some of the texts is spilling over - is this why you'd like to control the size? Text shouldn't be spilling over, so if it is, it may be something we'd want to figure out. Can you give us a little more information, or maybe a screenshot of what's happening? If you're able to share a link to the published and uploaded course, maybe we can take a look there, too.

If it's just a matter of the course size, you can adjust the Story size for the project.

Or, if you'd like, you're welcome to share the .STORY file here and I'll be happy to check it out. You're also welcome to send the file to us privately.

Hi Christine,

It's easier on my eyes to zoom online pages (for example via CTRL ++, but this technique doesn't affect the story area). This was the initial motivation for the question. Regarding the text spilling over, I'll send you the file privately, as it's a specific instance for the HTML 5 output.

Notwithstanding, is it possible to elaborate or point me to more information about what you mentioned on adjusting the Story size for the project?

Many thanks!

Good morning Donna,

I was able to find the case you submitted (#00319986) for my reference. I see that John is working with you on this and that he sent a response yesterday requesting more information. I just wanted to make sure you received this message. If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check your spam folder or filters with your email address. If you still can't find it, just let me know and I'll see if I can have it sent out to you again.

If you'd like more information about adjusting the Story size, you may want to check out our tutorial on Choosing a Story Size. If you have any additional questions about this, just let me know
