Hello, why is it when I record software sims in Articulate, the text entry boxes for field entries tends be large in size (white text entry box covers the screen) and when I adjust the size and try to reduce the font size, Storyline will not let it set to the desired size.
Is there an easier way as seems to be wasting a lot of time in recording simple exercises.
When you record a screencast in Articulate Storyline and insert it into your course as Try mode steps orTest mode steps, you may find that a data-entry field is misplaced or the wrong size.
The size and location of recorded elements, such as text-entry boxes, is dependent on the data communicated by the application you're recording. You may need to adjust the size or placement of a text-entry box after you've inserted your screen recording as step-by-step slides in your Storyline course.
Tip: If you're recording a web browser, we recommend using Internet Explorer. It provides the best data. Firefox also works well. Google Chrome doesn't do a good job of communicating data to Storyline. See this article for more information.
Thank you Ashley! Happy to make adjustments with the size, it's just that the font size is large by default and when I try to reduce it, Storyline doesn't keep the setting. Is there a way around this?

Babita, would you be able to share you project file so we could do some testing? You could also submit it privately using this link.
