Problems Editing MC Lay-out

May 14, 2014

I like SA more and more and more and my creations are getting more creative! BUT I have trouble with editing the lay out of MC questions. For example the he space between the answers I find very hard to edit and it seems that, wehen I change the fontsize, SA changes it in a different size.....

Hi Tineke,

I think I understand what's happening here. It looks like the answers are overlapping when you preview. Is that correct?

First, please make sure that you're working with a local project file when you modify or publish your project. If you're working on a network drive, or any other external storage, that might be causing the trouble. 

  • Work on your local drive (your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, including file corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior. 
  • You should also make sure the directory path to your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters (for example C:\Articulate).
  • Avoid using special characters, accents or symbols in your file names (this includes spaces and underscores).

Additional information regarding "Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces" in Windows operating systems can be found in the following Microsoft article.

Please make sure you're running the most recent version of Storyline. Articulate Storyline Update 5 includes bug fixes, performance improvements, and HTML5 output enhancements. Click here for details.

I'd also recommend checking your DPI settings. If you're not using 96 DPI on your machine, it can cause some strange behavior with text and other objects:
