Changing the default font size
Hello everyone,
I understand that the default font can be changed by accessing the Design tab and choosing a new font as the default. However, I'm unable to change the default FONT SIZE, is it possible to make a global change to the font size? Also, what or how will this changes affect?
Thank you,

I have not seen a setting to change the size; however, I just use the "Set as default" option on the right-click menu for objects. For example, I'll add a text box to a screen and format it to be the font & size I want all my text boxes to be. Then simply right-click the text box and select "Set as Default Text Box". Now anytime you add a text box in your story file, it will be formatted the same. This works for any object (shapes, captions, etc).

I do not see a "Set as default" option in the right-click drop down of a text box in Storyline. Not being able to set a default text size is a serious problem. I have to resize EVERY text box I make. The format painter also does not seem to deal with text size formatting.

Hi there Bruce,
Just wanting to make sure that you're right-clicking on the border of the "box" itself and not the text in the box. If you right-click on the text, you're not going to see that option.
Here's what it should look like:
Let us know if you're still not seeing this option in the menu.
Thanks!

I completed building a quiz in Question Bank and would now like to change the font size on all the slides at once in the bank. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Frank,
You can change the font, color, and size of the questions in the quiz bank by making updates to the Master slide for a question.

Thanks guys for the clarification regarding the BORDER of the text box as opposed to the text itself in setting a default font size. I wasn't seeing this default text option; NOW I SEE
Thanks
