Text Autofit
Hi All,
is there a way of changing the default settings for objects.
for instance, when I insert a text box, by default the Text autofit is set to 'resize object to fit text'
So each time I import or create a slide containing a text box, I need to go into the format shape, select the text box item and set it to 'Do not AutoFit'
Thanks
for any advise
Hi Alfred,
Certain formatting options like font, size, color, etc. can be applied using the "Set to Default Text box" option which you'll see when you right click on a text box (or object). It doesn't apply to Wrapping or Autofit of text, so you'll need to adjust that once you've added in the text.

Hey Geert,
I don't believe so at this time, but a quick global setting for that kind of thing seems to be a popular feature request. Feel free to add your voice

Yes, this would be a great feature to add! By the way, I find that even when you say not to resize, it continues to change the size of the font. Is there something else I can do. Each paragraph below has its own text box, which is set to not resize...but as you can see the font on the first bullet is slightly different. Please advise.
Hi Kathleen! Are you importing this text by chance? Imported text may not look the same as it does elsewhere due to not being a one-to-one conversion. I'm not really clear on how this is happening, and if you could provide a Screenr of the steps you are taking that causes this font to change, that would be helpful.

Has this feature been implemented in SL360?

Any news on this front? I import powerpoint files into SL 360 quite a bit. Then I have to move through the "format shape -->Text Box-->Do not autofit-->Wrap text in shape" steps for each slide. Even though the master text boxes have those settings. If anyone else is experiencing this quirk and has a potential solution I'm all ears. Thanks!

Hey! I don't have a "do not auto fit" option?

Hi, Gerald.
It seems you are using the latest update of Storyline 360 (Build 3.53.25247.0). Take a look at this article to learn about the text autofit improvements on that version:
