Text path in shape
I wanted to get out of the boring bullet points list and try something different. I created a freeform image that represents water coming out of a bucket. I want to place my bullet point text in the water, along a curved path. Is it possible to do that in Storyline 360, or is that outside the scope of the program?
Storyline doesn't have a feature for curving lines of text.
You could create that effect by carefully placing separate text boxes along a curved path. But that text wouldn't be accessible, since a screen reader would read each text box separately.
Here's another option that might work:
- Add text to the image using whatever software you have that'll do what you want. (For example, PowerPoint has Word Art options for curving text.)
- In Storyline, insert a shape that is the same aspect ratio as the image, and "fill" the shape with your picture of the words-on-water.
- Add alt text to the shape with the actual words, so a screen reader will know what it says.
