Making text copyable during course

Hi

I want to make a line of text able to be copied (for copy and paste) for the person completing the course, however, when viewing a course, I am unable to select/highlight and copy text. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

Anne

    I'm trying to do exactly what Michael did--make text selectable so the use can then paste it into a document.

    Michael can you share your secret?!

  • Hi Rebecca,

    Michael is still a regular contributor here in the forums, but I'm not sure he's subscribed to this thread so you may want to send him a private message using the "contact me" feature to see if he can share. 

  • Hey David! If you do not hear from Seth soon, you are welcome to utilize the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile as he may not be subscribed to this particular forum thread any longer :)

  • Hi David,

    I don't know if he's still subscribed to the thread, but you may want to use the "contact me" button on his profile to reach out directly to Seth. 

  • Many thanks for stopping in to share your discovery here for others who may benefit, Seth! :)

  • Seth's reply above is amazing!!  I know it's an old post, but OMG I am grateful that I found it!

    Yay! So happy to hear this older thread helped you, Julie. I also wanted to pop in to welcome you to E-Learning Heroes 😊

  • Hi everyone, 

    I'm new to the community and also to Storyline. 

    I've been trying to make a software developer course out of a PowerPoint presentation course by importing it into Storyline. The solution here by Tracy worked great for the first module! But then suddenly I found myself cannot paste the codes into the variable "default text" box. It just won't paste it. Sometimes it only pastes half, sometimes just one line.

    I need the code text on the slides to be copyable for the students to study coding.

    Any suggestions or ideas as to why that happens?

      Hi Dor Y,

      Thanks for reaching out!

      I see that you’ve reached out to our Support Engineers and are working with my teammate, Mick. You’re in great hands! We’ll continue the conversation in your support case.

  • Thanks, Kelly, Mick is great, but still no solution. We've been trying multiple things, and nothing helps.
