Saving Bullet Point Formatting in Storyline
I realize that this thread is 4 years old. Unfortunately, in the last 4 years, the developers have ignored this issue and have not added any way to apply bullet point formatting other than manually for each and every bullet point on each and every slide.
In the December 2020 update they added the ability to create text styles, but did not include bullet points, so even that is a DUD feature.
Let's recap expected features for bullet points that do not exist, but have been asked for and discussed for YEARS:
- Format painter - only paints information about the font itself (font type and color), paints triggers too, but not anything related to the paragraph settings (spacings before/after, bullet point formatting, etc.)
- Slide master - only stores font related information, triggers, and layouts, but only when adding a new slide, does not reliably allow resetting an existing slide if changes are made, does not store or bullet point formatting
- Styles - only stores font type, color, and size, but not bullet points or spacing information
Additionally, there is no way to create a heirarchy of slide bullet levels with different formatting. If you want automatic bullet points you are stuck with the simple round black dot.
IMHO, this is a major fail.
Great post. It seems all we ever get is the standard "See what everyone else has done to work around our refusal to acknowledge, fix, or upgrade areas of our tool. I just came here (1/6/2022) looking for information on bullet formatting and that seems to be the default.
