Every time I go to re-look at a slide I have created, after importing slides from another SL file, the text is being reformatted to one straight line and going off of the page. This has happened before and I never found a way to fix it other than keep going back and eventually my formatting would stick. Anyone have any suggestions other than having to drag the text boxes back to where they should be positioned on each slide?
Thanks for your help! It looks like the text boxes are set to "Resize shape to fit text." However my other text boxes are set to this same setting and the issue is not happening (As far as I can see this is the default when creating any text box). My main problem is that the course I am creating is so long that I do not want to have to go back and reformat each text box. I wish there was some sort of setting in the file that would override all of the text boxes to one size (or at least not one long line.)
Where these slides imported from PowerPoint ? I find this happens sometimes on slides I have imported. Sorry this is just an observation. I don't have a solution for you.

Hi Jaren and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!
How is the formatting set for the text box? Curious if it's set to re-size the shape to fit text and that's what's happening?
If you have a .story file you'd like us to take a look at, feel free to share.
