User notes that they can print and email

Hi all. I built a course earlier this year that contains a "notes" function to allow users to take a moment to reflect and type their thoughts on certain questions. This is used in place of a typica...

Hi Stephanie (or anyone who can help!) I've been working with this as well. 

Two items I can't seem to resolve:

1. The text isn't wrapping on the print preview, it simply extends out. Is it possible to make it wrap?

2. While my email function works perfectly, I am having issues with the Print and Print Preview function.  The Title and Date won't display on my course's print preview. It only shows "Null" for each title and date.  The rest of the notes are working just fine on the print preview. I have an Execute JavaScript trigger on slide 1 and used the System Date JS exactly as it was presented on the PPT slide provided above.  I made sure SystemDate matched in both places as JS is case sensitive.  I'm also a little unclear if I need to add more to have the code retrieve a title/headline for the print preview.  Is there a step I'm missing to make these work?

I tried in SCORMCloud with the same result.

Thank you so much!

    This was my first time using Javascript in Storyline2, and I was experiencing the same problem. It turns out I needed to create a variable for the title and the date. It may be a given for super users out there, but definitely need-to-know new information for beginners like me.

    In the image attached, see the variables "PrintTitle" with set default value of the title you want to appear and "SystemDate".

    Now my course works! Thanks Stephanie for the great idea!
