When you insert a telephone number (or a series of numbers with dashes that resemble a telephone number) in a SL3 project, after publishing and viewing in IE11, the telephone number appears, then disappears onscreen. If you have the number in the slide notes, it completely removes the number and the characters after it are displaced. Is this a bug? This does not happen in SL2.
Unable to change IT settings due to company restrictions, we had three options:
1. Use an em dash between the number sets 555-555-5555
2. Surround the full number with asterisks *555-555-5555*
3. Take a snippet of the number and paste it in as an image
The client preferred Option 2, so that was out workaround.
It would be nice if that bug could somehow be resolved via the SL 360 tool. But in the meantime, we have options.
I have the same issue. Has anyone come up with an easy workaround? I am turning my phone number into an image for now but I'd prefer an easier solution.
We appreciate your patience while our team investigated this.
I am happy to share some great news! We fixed the issue you reported where: HTML5: Phone numbers disappear from slide and slide notes in IE11 in Storyline 360

Thanks for the update, Craig! This issue is still under review, but for now, I'm glad you have a workaround.

Hi Chris,
So sorry you ran into this problem. I like your idea of inserting the phone number as an image instead of text.
We'll keep you posted if this is resolved in a future update!
We were having the same issue with phone numbers formatted as 123-555-1234, so we tried (123) 555-1234 and it worked, at least on scorm.com
Is there any fix on this? We are still having this issue
