Total newbie question here!

Hi Charlie,

So the items are grouped together and that's what you're trying to drag? I know grouped objects have some difficulties in a drag and drop but if you'd like to share the .story file here we may be able to offer an additional idea and suggestion to help you with this set up. 

Try editing the state of one of the pieces of paper and pasting your text in to it. The two items should then become one.

Thanks for your replies! How do I save and share just one slide from a module? I'll try playing about with editing the state of the piece of paper in the meantime :)

Hi Charlie

create a new project file and just import that one slide in then use the Add Attachment button at the bottom of the post to upload.

Thanks Wendy!! This slide is still rough but hopefully you all get the idea of what I'm trying to do and the problem I'm having ;)

Hi Charlie

I took the text box and the ripped paper for Commercial xx - grouped them together, then saved as a picture.  I then inserted that picture back into the slide.  You can then add that picture as your drag item - in this case I put correct to the Not suitable category.  The text may not be as crisp as you like I didn't spend any time formatting. 

See if the attached file works for you

Thanks Wendy!! I really am a total newbie here.....when you say you 'grouped them together'....how did you do that?

Hi Charlie - no problem.

Click the ripped paper and the corresponding text so they are both selected, then right click and select Group. Right click again on the group and select Save as picture (save to a folder on your desktop to make easy to find them). Then remove all the text boxes and shapes you have on the slide and insert each of the new pictures in and arrange how you want.  You'll then need to go through the form view and re-select the drag item (your new pics) and which drop item they are destined for to make answer correct.

Hope that helps - check out this tutorial it may help you

Thanks Wendy that tutorial is really helpful! I really appreciate your help its been great learning ;) I wish you and your family a merry xmas from New Zealand :)

Same to you from Oz...

I have another suggestion that will allow you to keep the text editable in Storyline.

1. First off you'll need to create a shape the exact same pixel dimensions as one of your torn pieces of paper. It is important that you get the size right otherwise your shape will look distorted. Remember to remove the outline too.
2. Next, right-click the shape and select Format Shape and then select Picture or Texture Fill, and then File. Navigate to your torn paper image and add it to the shape.
3. Next, right-click on the shape again and select Edit Text. Add the text you want to display for that particular shape. You may need to play with the internal margins on the text box to get the text to fit comfortably.
4. Repeat this for all of your options.

I have re-attached your file where I have made the suggested change to the 'Commercial, industrial and residential buildings' option on Slide 1.1

Thanks David!!
