Hi Aileen,

Thanks for sharing the file - and my apologies for the delay in getting back here. I could type more than one line of text, and while I'm typing I see the scroll bar if I go beyond the confines of the normal box. When viewing the variable reference the text will shrink, as we don't dynamically change the box size for the reference. If you want to show multiple lines of text without it shrinking, you'll need to adjust the box accordingly.

    Hi Ashley

    I tried having the box the height of the slide just as an example to accommodate and it still shrinks the text, that's why I tried the shape instead of the text box to see if that might make a difference but it doesn't.  This behaviour is different to SL1 - if you look at Stephanie Harnett's notes story she does this and the text doesn't shrink in the text box holding the variable reference.

    Mmmm...could I create the slide in SL1 and import it in - wonder if it would hold correct settings then.
