I could be repeating this conversation, but having looked on the forum, I cannot seem to find an answer to how you 'remove' the 'slide' numbers in the menu.
I'm happy for the 'scene' numbers to appear e.g. 1, 2, 3, but I would like to remove the 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc...
My reason for this is because I have duplicate titles, so where I have removed some titles from, say, my first scene (1) in the menu, I now see 1.1, 1.4, 1.6 etc... which isn't very consistent to the viewer. So how do I remove the 1.1, 1.4, 1.6 numbering entirely and just keep the scene numbers? Can this be done?
P.S. the 'Number entries in the menu automatically' field is switched off.
I on the other hand do want numbers just not the decimal version. I want a sequential 12345 regardless of whether or not the real slide number is 2.3.3,3.1,3.2 etc I understand that indentions would change thay slightly, but we just don't want a bunch of decimals showing up. Can you help me with this??
You could choose to remove the automatic slide numbering (which will include the decimals to indicate scene and then slide) and then rename each slide on your own with the sequential numbering. There is additional information in this tutorial on how to set up things within the player.
Yes, but then I wouldn't have numbering at all. We have a large course that, while it is in need of numbering, does not need the complexity of showing decimals to the degree in which Storyline displays them. ie. 3.3.1
Is there a way to reduce the complexity of the decimals without manually inputting numbers in the menu?
Unfortunately there isn't a way to change it from decimals or not, as I mentioned it's set up that way to indicate scene and then slide. I am not sure of another way to change the numbering, and depending on your level of comfort with Flash coding, you may be able to do something with the Storyline SDK to create your own customized menu and player.

Hi Louise:
There is a selection in the Player > Menu > Properties(gear icon at bottom) dialogue to display the slide numbers. Deselect it.

Ha ha! I know what I was doing! I wasn't looking at the slide preview, I was looking at the menu list on the left!
Oh dear... it's been one of those weeks.
Thanks Dennis!
It happens to all of us Louise, no worries
Glad that Dennis was able to help you out here.
