Shortcut not working Jul 19, 2012 By Wendy Grahn The =lorem() shortcut isn't working for me when I try to create my first slide. Does something need to be enabled on my computer? Thanks
Bruce Graham Hero over 11 years ago07/20/12 at 1:04 am (UTC) Hi Wendy, and welcome to Heroes. I would not necessarily expect Microsoft code to work in a non-Microsoft product. Remember - Storyline is not PowerPoint, whilst it shares some features and functionality, Storyline does not have many of the features that PowerPoint has. I just go to http://www.lipsum.com/feed/html and cut and paste if I need Lorem Ipsum text. Saying that - it might make a good feature request. Bruce

Wendy Grahn Author over 11 years ago07/20/12 at 6:24 am (UTC) I would suggest it be removed from the tutorial video then as that's where I learned to try it.
