Animating Text

Question

In Storyline 1 and 2 I could animate my text to display one paragraph at a time. Now, in Storyline 3, the path to do that through the Animation tab is no longer there. Does anyone know how this is done in the new version?

Unfortunately, when I animate the text by paragraph in the timeline, with all the text in one text box, the tab order function for accessibility is defeated.&nbsp; The only text that is captured for the learner use tab to go through the course is the first paragraph.&nbsp; All the other text, which was timed to come in sequentially, is lost to them.

I'm happy to help you here, Claire!
In Storyline 3, you'll click Animations tab &gt;&gt; Effect Options &gt;&gt; By Paragraph.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

hi there - something i just discovered on this topic- when i try to animate by paragraph using 'fade in' it actually appears as if 'fly in'&nbsp;

Hi Carly, that's certainly strange! Tell me more about the project, and I'll try and help you sort it out!

What version and update of Storyline are you using?
What Effect Options: Enter settings are you using?&nbsp;
Does this happen when you preview the slide in Storyline, or only after the file is published?

Hi Claire!
In Storyline 3, we're seeing an issue where text with a "By Paragraph" animation will tab in backwards order, starting with the bottom paragraph.&nbsp;Here's a quick Peek recording to show you what I mean.&nbsp;
Does the behavior in that recording matching what you're seeing?&nbsp;
