Paragraph spacing changing text size in slide master

Having this same problem. Text box formatting on the slide master is not remaining intact. I've tried removing "Preserve" from the slide master. Still not working.

Leslie,

Is there any update to this? It can be very tedious to have to reset custom line and paragraph spacing slide by slide. Really hoping this is fixed soon...

Hi Brett!

I do not have an update to share at this time as it is still in the hands of our QA Team.

Hi there, please keep me updated too, I have the same problem. It is most anoying that I cannot set a 'default' paragraph formatting to a masterslide

You should be subscribed to the thread now Chris :) Any update will be shared here.

Hi Leslie

Just written a post about this issue and have now stumbled across this thread (subsequently deleted my post).

I'm trialling the software for hundreds of pages of eLearning (being ported from other tools), and being able to set default paragraph styles in the slide master is a deal breaker.  Any news on this one?

Regards
Dave

Hi Dave! Unfortunately I have no update to provide at this time as this lies in the hands of our QA Team still.

That's a real shame :(

Having the same issues :(

Hi Anna,

I'm sorry to hear you've run into the same issue and we continue to keep our team updated in regards to the number of users effected, so thank you for letting us know. Once we have any additional information to share we'll be sure to post here. 

Just chiming in with the exact same issue - master text paragraph formatting doesn't translate to actual slides. Frustrating.

Thanks Diarmaid, I don't have any updates to share at this time, but made sure that I updated the report in terms of the number of users being impacted. Thanks for reaching out here and we'll keep you posted in regards to any other changes. 

When there are a lot of textboxes to be changed you can generate a translation document, correct the formatting in Word and import the corrected document. In th edocument you can delete the rows that are not changed. Importing goes faster and you don't have to check all the text in your project. Not the perfect solution but perhaps it works for you.

Just now encountering this same issue, and replying to the thread to stay abreast of any updates. Any news since 2 months ago? Thanks.

Hi Craig, 

I don't have any updates to share at this time, but once we do we'll be able to update you here with any additional information. Since you're responded you'll be subscribed to this thread for any future updates. 

Just replying so I can be updated if this ever gets fixed. After a year though I'm not holding out a lot of hope.

Hi, Bob --- Thank you for reaching out! I wanted to stop in to note in case you weren't aware, you'd also have the option to subscribe to a thread for updates by clicking "Subscribe" at the top of the page, as seen here:

I'm adding my comment, as well - not only to get notified re: replies, but also to provide my feedback.

I am creating templates for the IDs with Nike. This probably goes without saying, but Nike is a very brand-conscious organization. With that reality comes a need for attention to detail. The ability to adjust settings like kerning and line spacing within a template is not a bonus; it is a necessity.

Of course, I could send instructions to our team to set the paragraph spacing in their presentations, slide by slide. But that is asking for inconsistency. And it makes the templates seem sub-par, lacking, incomprehensive, etc.

Articulate provides a great number of important benefits to an organization. However, my one main complaint is that Articulate is lacking in capabilities and tools related to design. In that arena, they are not much more advanced than those one can find in PowerPoint.

Graphic Design is an integral part of Instructional Design - one that is absolutely essential in the pursuit of engaging learners, illustrating concepts, facilitating knowledge transfer, tailoring materials to the audience, and reflecting/promoting an organization's brand. To really serve the Instructional Design community, eLearning tools must have adequate design tools and capabilities. Without such, I really question whether the value reaches the purchase price.

And, after running into the paragraph spacing in master slides issue, I find it disconcerting that researching the issue has brought me here - where no real update or advancement has been provided after an entire year.

Thanks Wade for sharing your additional perspective here - I included it in the report filed with our QA team as additional insight into the need and rationale for why this is so important for particular users. I don't have any additional information to share at this time, but we'll be certain to keep you posted once we do. 

Sorry but I have to jump in here on your response, Ashley. This isn't about an issue that is "important for particular users," it's a bug in Storyline where you have a feature that clearly is not working as it is supposed to. Maybe not everyone uses master slides or sets custom line and paragraph spacing but they are part of the master slide set up in Storyline and they do not work.

Hi Brett, 

Perhaps it's misstated or misread - text can always be trickier that way. I certainly didn't intend to imply that it wasn't an important fix that is needed or that it wasn't a bug. What I was conveying with that statement was we share the "customer impact and pain" as a part of our reports to QA - and some bugs seem to impact more customers or impact particular customers more broadly. I'm sorry if that sentiment was not received as intended. 

Hi everyone

I've just come across this problem myself. I have updated Storyline 2 recently, and my master slides are refusing to apply spacing to my paragraph style, which they did before. By this I mean that I apply 6pt spacing after paragraphs, leave the slide or close the master view, go back in and the formatting hasn't changed. How has this suddenly happened? This is a BIG deal as I am working on a major project that involves at least 500 slides, and our quote to the client doesn't include manually changing paragraph spacing on individual slides.
