Place of the cursor while trying to edit the content of a text
Mar 06, 2014
Hello,
I have experienced a frustrating problem in Storyline. Here are more details :
I've created a PowerPoint slide and imported it into Storyline.
I want to edit the content of a text area. To proceed I place the cursor at the exact place in the word/sentence in order to correct it.
The problem is that the place of the cursor doesn't correspond with the zone which is going to be edited.
Example : let's imagine that I want to edit the sentence hereunder and correct the mistake ('W' in place of 'X').
HELLO. I AM A NEX USER OF STORYLINE.
I would normally place the cursor between the letter 'E' and the letter 'X'. I would delete the 'X' and replace it by the letter 'W'. By doing that I will delete the content of the word 'HELLO'. There is always a kind of difference between what I see and the physical location of the cursor on the screen. ... For deleting the letter 'X' I have to place my cursor, for instance, in the middle of the word "STORYLINE" and have to try to find the right place by trial/error.
Would anybody have an idea on how to fix that ?
Thank you very much.
Etienne

Hi Etienne,
A few things I'd want to check:
Let me know if you've checked those two things!
Hello Ashley,
Thank you for answering.
I have checked the DPI setting : it is 96 by default.
The slide is not always zoomed in at 100 %. Most of the time it is zoomed in at less : between 80 and 90 %. I will check that in the future and tell you wether it makes any difference.
Kind regards.
Etienne
you need it to be 100% for cursor placement to work.
Thanks Etienne - you'll need to zoom it at 100% as Phil mentioned while your editing and working on your slides.
