I'm working on a large Quiz with many Multiple Choice questions. To match my layout I've changed the default Internal margin settings of the Radio Buttons and right click -> Set as Default Radio Button, but when I add a new Multiple Choice question the Internal margin settings are set as default.
Hi David, thank you for your reply. I'm sorry but the article doesn't help me. The problem is by setting my Radio Button as default Storyline doesn't safe the Internal margin settings (right click at Radio Button -> Format Shape / Text Box / Internal margin). All other Settings like the Line Style settings or the Shadow settings get saved, but not the Text Box settings.
Have you considered using Slide Masters to set this up as needed? When I think of a consistent 'look' across my Storyline products, I think of Slide Masters.
Yes I've considered using the Slide Master, but in the Slide Master I can't modify a single Radio Button. I want to adjust the space between the text and the Radio Button for all buttons. My purpose is to increase the space on the left side between the margin and the text, moreover I want to reduce the space to the Top and the Bottom, so the button gets smaller in height and the Font Size stays the same.
You're right that setting the radio button as default doesn't save the internal margin settings. The easiest way to apply those internal margin settings to other radio buttons is to use the format painter, like this.
I'll let our team know you have a need for including internal margins in the default radio button settings!

Hi Fabian, there's a section towards the end of this article that discusses changing a button's default look, hopefully it will help: https://community.articulate.com/series/4/articles/adding-buttons-in-articulate-storyline-2

Hey Fabian,

Here's a quick recording to demonstrate.
Hi Lesslie,

Ah, thanks for clarifying that, Fabian!
