    Hello, Everyone!  ✨

    I'm happy to share that we have released a new update for Storyline 360 (3.81.31200.0).

    In this update, we have implemented a fix for:

    • Storyline 360 didn't always preserve text formatting when using custom slide layouts or importing PowerPoint slide masters.

    As a first step, I recommend updating Storyline 360 to the latest version. Here's how:

PowerPoint's default slide slide size is larger than Storyline's. I forget exactly what PPT is, but it's about 50% larger than Storyline's 720x540.

If you lay down some text using the same font and size, you'll see that they're the same size.

    I've tried exporting Powertpoint into picture and see it's resolution. Not sure if this is precisely the PowerPoint's native resolution

    4 : 3 = 960 x 720 px

    16: 9 = 1,280 x 720 px

    Given that I preset the Storyline slide size accordingly, I still need to manually adjust the font size. Yet,at least, I  found that I can adjust the font size in Storyline to the same pt as that in PowerPoint and achieve the same look as PowerPoint.
