Tips and Tricks with Formatting Text....

Nov 18, 2020

Hi all,

I created a slide in storyline that is a reference for Covid.  It's basically a reference for safety/protocols, such as Mask and hand etiquette, etc. I created four text boxes with subject areas.  

I can't seem to align everything to look symmetrical and evenly spaced.

Do you have any formatting tips?

Thanks!

Hi, John,

The Align tools offer easy buttons for making things align. 

  • If you select only one object and then click an Align__ button, the program will set that alignment to the slide. In other words, Align Top will put the item at the top of the slide.
  • If you select more than one object and then click an Align__ button, the program aligns those objects in reference to each other. 
  • The Distribute buttons are also handy to evenly space objects.

Another tip: Check the height and width of your objects. Adjust as necessary to keep related items the same size. (As possible, I like to make the pixel count something that's easy to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. For example, if my slide is 720 pixels wide, and I have six object I want to take up that entire width, I know each object should be 120 pixels wide.)
