Marker Text Boxes formatting issues

Hello Kimberly,

When the markers are added, they are defaulted with a shadow. You can click on the "shape effects" on the home tab to change this. You can also add/change the outline and fill.

You can change the format of the text as well. Just select the text to type within the placeholder, and use the formatting from the home tab.

Unfortunately you cannot delete the Title from the placeholder text.

Let us know if you need anything further.

Thanks Emily,

I have tried repeated times to remove the shadow from the Shape Effect and it still is appearing.  I have used the marker tool many times on past projects and have never had the issue that I am having now. Did they make a change to this tool on the last update?

I cannot get the shadow to go away. The ONLY option I had was to open one of my old projects and copy/paste a marker that did NOT have the shadow on the title. 

Can they remove the DEFAULT shadow option on the next update?  To me, this should be an option to add but not the default.

Thanks so much!

Hello Kimberly,

When you add the marker, are you going back to the home tab, then selecting "shape effects" and selecting No Shadow?

i am able to remove it in a test file.

Would you be able to share your .story file for us to look at?

I recently found an issue where I add a marker. If I want to have the marker be a light color like "white", it will then have a shadow. I do not want the shadow. It appears that any light color added, it automatically adds the shadow. Is this an issue with the software? 

See attached.

Hi Amber!

You are correct and this is by default.

It may be worth sharing your thoughts in the form of a feature request in regards to having markers that adhere more to a flat design principle (no shadow, no gloss, etc.) as those go to our product development team.
