Text/Character spacing - Storyline

Hi Raymond,

I've experienced this in both Studio and Storyline. What I've found is (unofficially) that it has something to do with copy/paste. Assuming you're copying from MS Word? When copying from MS Word, the formatting gets wonky. Even after readjusting the font and text box size where it "looks" correct during authoring - after publishing it looks all wonky again.

Odd thing is it doesn't happen all the time when copying from other source documents.

A couple approaches that may work for you:

1. Copy and then paste as plain text. Then change to the font of choice.

2. Hand type the content instead of copying/pasting. I know...not very efficient but seems to eliminate the problem.

Hope this helps.

Here is how to find the Character Spacing button. This is a French version but you should be able to find it in the English version.

Thank you Raymond for posting this question! It helps me too! Now I can deal with this issue

Thanks Jerome - but i'm actually looking for the function on Storyline...

Kevin, I actually copied and pasted from PPT...

I'll try some of the things you suggested as well.  I noticed that the odd spacing also happens to certain fonts....I'm currently using Century Gothic...seems to be spacing issues with that quite frequently.

Thanks,

Ray

Hi,

I tried it with typing the text in Storyline itself. bur still the problem is not solved. 

Hi Sagar! This thread is a bit dated. Could you share some information about your Storyline version and what type of font you are utilizing. A .story file would be helpful or even a sample slide in .story format.

Hi Leslie 

we are currently experiencing the same problem using articulate storyline 2, how can i send you the source file to view?

Hi Cynthia,

Looks like you also reached out in this thread where I recently replied.
