Storyline markers - change placement of text box
Hi,
I have added add a number of markers to a slide and populated the related texted boxes. All the text boxes are postioned in the lower left hand corner of the maker by default. This is giving me layout issues as text boxes are either off screen to the left or covering vital background information.
I can resize the text boxes using the handles but I can't find a method to reposition them i.e. lower right, top right etc.
Regards
Trevor

Hi Trevor,
If you hover your mouse over the outside edge of the description placeholder (but not on one of the handles), the cursor should change to a crosshair or 4-way arrow. You can then hold down the left button on your mouse and drag the description placeholder to the desired position.

I have a similar problem. I have repositioned all the text boxes to lower right but when I preview all 4 marker text boxes appear at different places, all over the slide.
Is this somersaulting to do with the screen resolution, or????

Worked it out! I had the markers grouped so that forced the text boxes away from where I had them placed.
Trick for young players.
Thanks for the update Mark and glad you were able to figure it out.

Wondering if there is a way to change the curser in the scrollable textbox. It's so hard to see!
Hi Ande,
I'm not sure what you mean by the cursor in a scrollable text, just the arrow icon? There isn't a way to change that default behavior, as the cursor is typically something that is set on a users system, not within the course.

Hey thanks for replying!
Yes, I am able to adjust the curser for use in other programs, but it does
not change in Articulate, at least not in this scrollable textbox. As you
can see from the attached image, the blinking curser is difficult to detect.Any thoughts?
Thanks!
