text box isn't readable when content is created in JS

hi, I have made a project in storyline 3 that collects choices in one slide and returns a text on another slide, using a data base that "calculates" the choices to give an answer according to the choices made in the previous slide. however, the text is tiny and I couldn't find any way to make the text appear in the size I chose.

I'm attaching the file.

  • I'm away from my desk at the moment, so can't check your source file. It sounds like you need to turn off the 'resize text' setting in your text box. You may also find using an invisble shape, rather than a text box, gives you better control in these circumstances. Sounds like your text is too long/big for the text box.

    But if your text doesn't resize, you run the risk of it spilling out of the display area. So I recommend testing your longest possible JS-generated output and sticking to a rough character count based on your font choice and font size.

    That's what I did here with JS-generated text.
