Can the sequence drop down question be re-sized?
Hi all,
Just wondering if the sequence drop downs can be re-sized without causing a scroll function to appear. As in the attachment I have a list of 7 items and they are almost the height of the screen.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Karen!
I'm happy to help! If you're looking to reduce the white space, have you tried aligning the drop-down answers? Sequence Drop-Down questions don't have customizable features like changing the style or width.
I did find this discussion that lists many workarounds!
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the same issue, but I have a sequence drop-down quiz question and am curious if there is a way to adjust the size of the text box. I've tried a few different routes (no wrap text, do not shrink, etc.) but it doesn't seem to adjust the size of the text box. I was hoping to have the selection on one line.Hi Lauren, great question!
Since this discussion, Storyline 360 has been updated with several text autofit improvements. The new enhancements give you complete control over text, such as the ability to expand the width, expand the height, or fix the size of a text box. In Storyline, you can toggle between the different options to see the other modes, but you can only choose one option.
I think that choosing the expand width option would work best for you to get your text selection onto one line.
To do this:
- Select the text box you want to fit onto one line.
- Go to Format Shape.
- Under AutoFit options, select Expand Width.
Please let me know if that helps, or if you need additional assistance.
I'll share a workaround that works in my case that could solve the issue of overflowing text. One trick is to reduce the font size until it fits within the width of the drop down, then increase it again. Choose do not autofit option under Format Shape. It would seem that while resizing is locked, it is still possible following the text size.
