Default Setting for Text Boxes - Do Not Resize
I've been reading the discussions about font sizes in text boxes and see that the answer is to set the shape to 'Do not autofit'. Is there a link to instructions to make that a default setting in Storyline?
Thank you
Thanks for the timesaving tip, Discover Campus! We're tracking the request to set default text box formatting, so this method might help folks in the meantime.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Matt.
I've shared them in the feature request as well.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes by the way :)

Add me to the chorus of "please let us set a default for auto fit and resizing." It's unnnerving to have text resize itself, and a huge hassle to have to turn it off on each separate text box. Thanks!

We have multiple IDs working on the same projects. Style consistency is important. Default text box settings for autofit, internal margins, indentations, spacing, and font would be a huge time saver. HUGE.

Hi, I'm wondering if this feature request has been implemented. If I want to not auto fit text do I still have to do so one at a time for each text box?

Hi Susan,
No updates yet, but I've added your voice to the request and will be sure to let you know when there's any progress to report!

I'm throwing my hat in the ring too! I'm also working on projects where I need everything to be the same size. I also have strict deadlines coming up and this as a default feature would save so much time!

Put the text in a shape instead of a text box. I have no idea why but it works!

Good day! I too would like to put my 2 cents in on this topic. I'm on a time crunch on a Storyline video and going in and adjusting the do not autofit just adds to be development time. Would love to have this as the default if at all possible. Thank you.
