Text boxes--wrapping text around an object

Just submitted a request as i noticed it wasn't included in the most recent update :(

I also just sent in a feature request for this. For all the great features in Storyline 2, I was a bit surprised that there is no way to wrap text around an image, etc. This seems like a pretty basic feature!

This shouldn't be hard for them to do, and surprised they haven't already.

I can see the text not wrapping if the textbox and image are two separate objects.

But, if you had the option to add an image inside of a text box then the text should wrap around it with no issues.

I would think that this would be basic html programming.

<div>
     <img src="someimage.jpg" style="float: right;">
     Here is some text in the container
</div>

Off to make feature request.

Nope. Still not there. I usually resort to forced line breaks to get this done. Of course there is danger there if you have to edit the text afterward. Put in the feature request. The more a feature is requested the more likely it will be implemented — I've seen it happen ;-)

My wish would be to be able to add text to any shape. So for instance you create a circle and the text would wrap to fill the circle. This way you could create any kind of shape you needed to fit around another object and then fill that shape with your text. (This is the way page layout programs like InDesign work.) The next step would be to add text threading where you could have several linked text boxes of any shape where the text flows through them automatically. That is a very powerful feature.

This is really too bad. Does anyone know if this feature has been added in SL 2?

Thanks

For a workaround, I would format my text and image in Powerpoint and then copy/paste them into Storyline as an image.

It would be a great feature request and I encourage you to send one.

Done. Thanks, Brett.

Text wrapping is not a feature of SL. Nor is flowing text into an irregularly shaped object such as a triangle or square. To my knowledge text can only be inserted through a text box (square or rectangular) or through the insert object command on a rectangle or rounded rectangle shape. It would be a great feature request and I encourage you to send one.
