Change Font Size in Sequence Drag and Drop Graded Questions
I create lots of graded questions that are sequence drag and drop and matching questions. I'd really like to decrease the font size on the answer options. -- the answer and question options that get matched up or placed into sequence. It would be nice to have more question options listed on the screen without having to scroll. And, when the font size of the actual answers is larger than the question itself, it looks funny.
I have not been able to locate a way in the the Form View or the Slide View to change the font size of answers. It seems that once the answers are entered in the Form View that it becomes an uneditable text book. Is there a way to change the font size of answer options?
Here's an example of a sequence drag and drop question with the answer being larger than the question font.
Hi, everyone!
I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Build 3.80.30988.0, we've included important fixes and new features.
One fix included in this update:
- Font sizes shrunk for sequence drop-down answers when previewed or published.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
Hi there
Thought I would check in and see if any updates for this. I was just using my first sequence drag and drop. I have one sentence that is longer than the others, but I can tell I have the room if I could only drag the individual drop down fields longer, but I only get a cross hair symbol if I try to drag any of the individual fields longer, and if I go to the Size properties window it is all greyed out...any thoughts?
Thanks Ashley, this is helpful I will definitely take this approach for this instance. But it would be nice to see the sequence one be able to expand, hopefully something we may see in the future :)
I'm running into the same issue. I guess it hasn't been fixed yet and using a free form D&D is still the only workaround?
Hi Oren,
This is still an open issue with our team. Although I don’t currently have any updates, you are now subscribed to this conversation which means as we share updates here, you’ll automatically be notified.
Still waiting this question types to be more customizable.
Hi Barbara,
Did you test out Alyssa's earlier recommendation to redo it as a freeform drag and drop? That would allow you to have full control over the spacing/size of the fonts.
Hi everyone,
Good news! We fixed the issue you reported where:
The font size on Sequence Drag and Drop answer choices are displayed smaller when viewed on Preview or Published output
Be sure to install the latest Storyline 360 update to take advantage of all the recent features and fixes.
If the problem happens again, please record a Peek 360 screencast for me, and I'll be happy to help or you can always work directly with our support engineers here.
Is the fix only for Storyline 360? We are behind a military firewall and cannot use cloud-based services so we have Storyline 3.
Hi Victoria,
Thank you for reaching out about this issue! At this time, our team is looking into this open issue for Storyline 3. While I don't have any updates to share for Storyline 3, I appreciate you letting us know that this is affecting you. I will be bringing your comments to our team for further review, and be sure to reach back out to this discussion with any updates we can share!
Hi there,
I've run into the issue of tiny font on a sequence drag and drop.
The font size is set to 39 - same as the text in my question - see attachment "font size setting". I am using a custom screen size so need a large font.
However when slide is previewed or published the font in the drag and drop interaction is tiny - see other attachment "tiny font"
Any thoughts? I updated my Articulate 360 last week so should be up to date.
Hi Michelle,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing in your project file.
With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file to investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
Oh gosh, I forgot to response here on the forum Leslie. I believe I shared it via the link you sent last week. Did you get it?
Hi Michelle,
No worries, but I'm glad you reached back out. I do not see a case for you around the dates we chatted or last week. Did you receive a confirmation case number? If so, I'd be happy to take another look.
If not, I've opened up a case for you and requested the file.
Thank you Leslie - I have sent the file via the link you sent to me.
Thanks, Michelle. I've escalated your case so that one of our support engineers can take a look.
Hi Leslie,
I have exactly the same problem as Michelle. Have you found a solution in the meantime? I work with Storyline 360 (3.50). Thanks for your help!
Hi Doris,
For my issue, as of Nov2020, I was told it was a known issue but they couldn't commit to a time that it would definitely be resolved by.
I ended up changing my question type to a drag and drop question (see attached) to achieve the same ends.
