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:

Have a great day!
I've found a little math that helps with the conversion. PPT wide screen is 1280*720 or 921,600 pixels. I have my storyline default set to 1600*900 or 1,440,000 pixels. (This allows for the project to almost fill a standard computer screen and still show the player.
So for my ratio I need 921,600/1,440,00 = 0.64
So if I take my original font size and divide by 0.64, I get roughly my converted font size (just a touch smaller). After tweaking I found a 0.60 ratio to be closest.
To take it up a notch, without having to constantly do math, I created a spread sheet to reference to do the math for me with the A column being the original font size and the B column being the converted.
Cell A2 became 10 for the first font, then I dragged down to auto fill the cells up to 60.
Cell B2 had the formula =A2/0.6 - Then drag this down to autofill as well, and voila, converted font sizes.
TL:DR: Basically, play around with one font size till it matches, find the ratio and let spreadsheets convert the rest for you.
