Changing Numbers in Numbered Lists in text boxes in RISE
Hi ... I know it is possible to change the numbers in a numbered list block. However, is there a way to do that when you are inserting a numbered list in a text block? (For instance, when adding a numbered list into an accordion interaction.)
I have a lot of numbered steps in the courses I write. But I use a lot of screenshots as well. I'd like to start a numbered list, add a screenshot image, and then continue the numbering...not going back to number one.
Again ... I know this is possible with numbered list blocks...but how about numbered lists in text blocks?
Thanks...as always!
Chiming in to say this would be awesome as well. Just tried to make a 2 column numbered list and looks like this can't work if they both have to start at 1 vs carrying over.
Adding to Marie's answer, it'd be great to have text flow from one column to another. Not just to allow lists to continue across two sides, but also to support typing text into one column rather than having to type it and copy half to the other side.
Hi Raymond!
The numbered list inside a text block will always begin with #1. Thanks for letting us know you need more flexibility in the numbering!
Thank you for your quick response. Please add this feature to the RISE "wish list." Thanks again.
I second needing this update.
Agree, this flexibility would be great! We are creating courses for our company with images that accompany the steps, but have to create a manual list since we still need the steps to remain in numerical order. Thanks!
Hi - this is the answer isn't it? https://360.articulate.com/review/content/b38384f2-3241-465f-a5f8-45ea3f3ab82d/review
Agree, we need this feature!
Why isn't this feature already available? Very much needed!
any updates on this feature?
Hi Shua, can you share more details on the type of number lists you're trying to create in Rise so we can help with a solution for the meantime?
Hi, I was able to work around this.
Hi, Shua. What was your workaround? I tried just typing a 1. and 2. in front of my regular-text steps and not using the formatting options but it doesn't indent properly and looks funky on some of my screens.
Hi, Lea. I'm including an example of this Rise limitation. When using a numbered list in a regular text block, we cannot continue numbering.
In this included image, I have Step 1, followed by a code snippet. I want the next Step after the image to be Step 2 but I have no option to continue numbering, as the regular text boxes always start over with 1.
Note: I know that we can manipulate the starting number with the Numbered List text block but I cannot use that because it doesn't support sub-bullets.
It would be great to be able to alter the number the list starts from.
