Just wondering if I'm missing something. I'm used to being able to adjust the hanging indent for bullets and numbered lists, but I'm not seeing a way to do so in Storyline.
I'm also having some issues with bullets appearing to be a different size on each different line. Is there a work-around?
I'm currently rebuilding an old Articulate course from scratch in an effort to teach myself Storyline. Liking what I'm seeing so far, but a little concerned about this.
I can't believe the hanging indent support would be non-existent. I have a numbered list that wraps and the indents don't line up. I noticed it with content imported from PPT, but when I build a slide from scratch I get the same result. Am I missing something or can I not have a nice list that has line wraps?
I have the same issue with the hanging indents.
I'm also wondering about continuing a numbered list across slides... there doesn't seem to be a way to do so. Or start a numbered list at anything other than 1.

Hi Sean,
One of our Super Heroes (Bruce? Phil? Gerry?) came up with a workaround awhile back for continuing a numbered list across multiple slides. I'll try to do some digging for the original thread, but I believe it involved moving the list off the top of the stage so that the first however many numbers of your list were hidden from sight when previewed / published.
Can we get some hanging indent love in the next Storyline release? It suggests that we don't know our bullets look goofy, when of course we are painfully aware of it.
Hi Daniel,
Many, many of us feel your pain and indeed embarrassment. If you haven't already, put in a feature request.
Not sure if this workaround will work for you or not - but I formatted the text box and then saved it as a picture, then cropped it to the sections I wanted for each slide - same for the hanging indents (to keep them hanging).
Wow, I'm really surprised that the hanging indent and inconsistent bullet sizes are still a problem in SL. This software is otherwise too good for such text problems. I'll add a feature request, but hope this is improved ASAP!!
Hii,
Do not think hanging indents are currently possible, and there have been a few issues with bullet sizes.
Can you post your .story file so we can have a look, or some screenshots?
Thanks
Bruce
Hi Sean,
as for adjusting the hanging indent, with Presenter you are taking advantage of Powerpoint capabilities to do so but you cannot adjust it in Storyline. You can only adjust the indentation of the paragraph itself making it look like multi-level bulleted list.
Regarding the different size of bullets, I know we had the problem and, if I remember well, the workaround is to add an extra line after the last bullet and to apply the same size and font as the previous line.
Hope it helps and have a nice day!
Annie
The third bullet is significantly smaller. I've tried adding additional hard returns after, to no avail.
EDIT: And now I close Storyline and re-open and it seems to have resolved itself.
