Why does Storyline change my font size when I import a ppt deck?
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:

This is a problem we run into often. But we can't change to another screen size in SL because we have to use 1920x1080. Just very frustrating. One thing that would help is having the font size that is set up in the slide master apply to the text that is imported.
In our current project, we are importing slides from ppt (which have been set to the font and size we want in the ppt slide master) and then apply a layout in Storyline. The text moves to the correct position, and the font style is correct, but now the sizes are off (in our case, they're larger). I don't understand why the size isn't adjusted when the layout is applied.
Hi Sandy,
Sorry to hear that you ran into this issue.
I did a test on my end by creating a simple PowerPoint presentation which I then imported to a Storyline 360 project file, and I can confirm that I was able to observe the same behavior that you did where the font size from the layout did not get applied.
I opened a support case for you so we can get you in touch with a support engineer who will be able to take a closer look at the issue. Someone will be reaching out shortly!
