Resizing Matching Drag and Drop boxes - Storyline
Hi, I've been reading through the community to find a way to resize Matching Drag and Drop boxes, as Jeanette demonstrated for Quizmaker slides.
I have a slide with boxes that are all the same size, but the fonts are all wacky sizes because some boxes have more content than others - and I'd like to size the boxes to be big enough to fit the largest content - and the fonts to be the same across the board.
Reading different sized fonts on the same slide (and across the entire CBT course) is very hard on eyes. I'd like to make it easier on the poor learners.
Can't find information to resize boxes (and ergo fonts). Can it be done? How?
If you click on the boxes you should be able to set the font size, it is not possible to change the size beyond dragging out the handles. The best way is to rebuild this in the freeform drag and drop question types.
This is a really good thing to improve in the future :)
Looks like Phil was able to pop in and assist you here Nicolas and you are welcome to share your thoughts on improvements with our team here if you'd like.
One way of not having to recreate this quiz with freeform is to make the first column fixed and drawing boxes over them and entering your text in them. That way you can create the one with the longest line of text first, then make the others the same font size. * i just realized this answer is 2 years later but hopefully it is of use to anyone trying to solve this problem now *
No worries Colette! It could certainly help someone that runs across this thread in the future.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes by the way!
Hi there,
I am having the same issue, has Articulate corrected the issue? I have gone into every box and resized but the adjusting of the fonts still happens... was hoping to not have to do free form as time does not a lot. Appreciate the help!
Hi Sandra!
Form-based graded questions make designing quizzes quick and easy, but there aren't a lot of customization options. If you want to customize the size of the matching drag and drop objects, a freeform slide is the way to go!
Wow. A long-running thread! - Same problem, though - because I have 10 options, it goes off the page - and I'm not going to use a drop-down box. really, it should be as simple as resizing the boxes.. OK, building a freeform it is then!
This drag and drop matching template is pretty useless unless you have the same amount of text for each section. If you turn off auto sizing of the text and then resize shape, it makes the right side boxes bigger than the left size... really unstable. Not sure why you just can't adjust the height of the boxes and have it apply to both left and right sides.
Came here for an answer and realized that this still is not addressed over 2 years now. Thanks to contributors for their assistance, we should pay them!
