Shape Subtraction

Is there a way to 'subtract' a shape/text/graphic from another in Storyline versus creating in PPT and uploading slides into Storyline?

adding for searchability: subtract, union, fragment, intersect
  • Currently, creating in PPT (or another tool) is your best option.  You do not have to import the slide, though.  You can just save the object as an image an insert, or copy and paste.

  • Ron’s right. You might be able to drive your fishing boat with an eggbeater, but why would you? You’d be a lot happier using a trolling motor, even if you already have the beater and not a motor. 

    SL is great at e-authoring, not so great at graphic editing. Right tool for the job, and all that.
