Setting the best screen size in Storyline for 8.5 x 11 content

Mar 10, 2020

I am recreating 8.5 x 11 page content in Storyline and the client wants to maintain the portrait layout. It will be delivered via LMS. What screen size would you recommend that would avoid scroll bars but still be readable?

Hi Pamela,

Thanks for reaching out! I believe the closest you can get to an 8.5 x 11 ratio would be a 720 x 931 custom story size. You can set this by going to the Design tab, and selecting Story Size. Be sure to uncheck the Lock aspect ratio when you click Ok.

Keep in mind, Storyline 360 defaults to the Modern Player, and using this story size may create some unwanted space as the Modern player adjusts to the browser size. In the Classic version, you have a bit more control over the browser settings.

In this example below, I went to the Player button under the Home tab, and clicked Other to set:

  • Player Size: Lock player at optimal size
  • Launch Player in New Window
  • Browser Size: Resize browser to optimal size

Here are my results:

Give it a try and see what works best for you!
