I'm trying to get a storyline 2 published file to play on a Windows 8.1 tablet. The normal story (not html5) plays beautiful, but the DRAG and DROP doesn't because the screen moves when you try to drag. Any ideas???
If I publish for CD it works beautifully on Proline 8" Windows 8.1 PC tablet. BUT some of the slides loose their fonts (displays as Times Roman which I don't use ANYWHERE). Any ideas perhaps?
If you're using variable references or text entries - those will default to the system fonts if the device you're using doesn't have the fonts you used when creating your file.
I tested on Surface RT and Surface 2 ages ago and had no issues was probably the best tablet experience I have had. I think the fonts are probably references
The moving screen may be related to gestures on the Surface are you running locally or via LMS/web?
I don't mind that the variable references and text entries change font, doesn't look too bad. But it even happens in normal text boxes. All I can think of doing is changing the font everywhere to Times Roman (as that is where it defaults to), but I really don't like the look.
Hi Phil,
I'm running locally. It's a gorgeous little tablet and the drag and drop works beautifully now that I've published to CD. It's just the font changes that's still bugging me.

Hi Pauline,
Which Windows tablet are you using? I know we have information here in regards to the Surface.

Not much you can do about the font change it happens on every system.
Try using a font like arial which is installed inmost machines
Thanx Phil,
Will try that, at least that's better than Times Roman :)
I am having the same problems with drag-drop issues but on WINDOWS 8 tablet when running my courses on our LMS
