Text Box Settings Change when copy and paste

Is there a way to stop the text box settings from reverting to Add scroll bars when you copy and paste a text box?

That is to say - I want the text box to retain the setting of "Allow text to overflow" when I copy and paste a text box with Fixed Size settings.

The text box always reverts back to add scroll bars. Am I doing something wrong?

  • just tested with the current storyline version -> no problems with "Allow text to overflow".

    I have created a new file with new empty slides and new text boxes -> copy & paste works, "Allow text to overflow" remains the same

    what happens if you do the same

  • Hi Donna,

    Thanks for reaching out! I understand that your text boxes aren't retaining the "Allow text to overflow" setting when copying and pasting. After testing this on my end, I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior. I'd love to know more about your setup so we can figure this out together.

    I look forward to your response!
