Formatting numbers in a numbered list (Storyline 2)
Hi,
For Storyline 1 there is a work around that allows you to have a numbered list where the numbers can be a different size and/or colour from the tex.
I've tried this in Storyline 2 and it doesn't seem to work. As soon as I reformat the first character in the text the number adjusts its formatting to match.
Has anyone encountered/solved this?
Thanks,
Anne.
Hello Anne,
We did have an issue with the notes tab defaulting to the text of the first character in Storyline 1, however it was not in Storyline 2. I just tested changing the font/color of a first character in a new file, and did not see any issues.
I tried in the slide itself, as well as the notes. Do you have a file we could look at? I was able to change the first character, the number, to a different font, color, and size.
Hi Emily,
I didn't have this problem in Storyline 1, only in Storyline 2. Here's a file so you can see the numbers keep defaulting to the size and colour of the text.
Hi Anne,
The numbered list will default to the size and color of your text. However, if you go into the bullets and numbering area, you'll see that you can adjust the color and size as a percentage of the text. These changes will be retained when you format your text.
Let us know if this is what you were looking for!
Thanks,
Mike
Hi, late to this party, but... where can I change the font of my numbers as well as the colour? Thanks
Hey Angela,
The information that Mike shared above is still relevant:
- the numbered list will default to the size and color of your text
- if you go into the bullets and numbering area, you'll see that you can adjust the color and size as a percentage of the text
Thanks so much for your reply, Leslie.
However, I was wondering if it was possible to use the auto numbered bullets but edit the font type?
Thanks again,
Angela
Is there any way of bolding the number only in a numbered list, without bolding the text? Thanks!
Hi Vicki and Angela,
As I shared above, the numbered list will take on the font and size of your text by default.
I made a short gif to demonstrate:
Thanks so much for the reply. My query was whether you could have the
number itself bolded, but the text that goes with it unbolded. It seems you
can't format the number to bold, and keep the text unbolded, like this:*1.* This is not bold, but the number 1 is.
If the number itself is bold, the text will be formatted as bold too,
right? You can't define your own number style, which may be in bold font
and allow you to have regular text, as you can in MS Word.Thanks!
Vicki
Thank you, Leslie. Much appreciated.
You are correct Vicki.
No problem Angela, hope that was helpful.
Sorry to bring this thread back up, but I was also just looking for this option in Storyline 360.
Small workaround how it can be done: Add a space as the first character before the text and format that space. Then the numbering changes according to the formatted space.Example: 1. _My First Point ( _ = space)
