Bullets, Numbering and Indents

Hi Zindaba and welcome to Heroes! 

The bullet/numbering set up within Storyline is one that you can see other users have shared they'd like updated and likely you may want to join in sharing a feature request.

In the meantime, there are some other examples of how to set up bullets/numbering in this thread and there is some other ideas here on how to set up bullets. 

I want my slides numbered and indented and I do not like the look of it with no numbering sequence...how do I handle this?

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).

Hi Daniel,

Many, many of us feel your pain and indeed embarrassment. If you haven't already, put in a feature request.

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.

WORKAROUND SOLUTION:

I wanted to break a procedure across two slides, but I found that I couldn't continue the numbering from the last step on the previous slide onto the next slide. So I copied the numbered list from the previous slide (that started at 1) and and pasted it onto the next slide. Then I highlighted all steps and turned numbering off. From that point, I manually created the continuing number sequence, spaced, and indented (hard returns) each step accordingly to create a similar "look-n-feel" from the previous slide (see attached). Seem to work well when published.

Hope this helps others until renumber (or continued numbering) and indenting is applied to the product.

Sean, the ability to adjust/set tabs for hanging indents is not available currently in SL.There are a number of other text handling functions that are missing such as tables, hyphenation, threaded text boxes, etc., that can drive me crazy. I'd suggest putting in a feature request in the hope that these make it into the next build.

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.

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.

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?
