Hi - I'm wondering why emdashes are not appearing properly in Storyline. I am using Arial, and I'm inserting the symbol using the Symbol button but it still comes in as a small dash. If I copy it from word or PPT, it still comes in as a small dash.
Hi, Liz: I commiserate with you. It's a pretty funky substitute, but I will insert a "minus sign" symbol, and then make it a larger font size. Pretty much gets the job done. Looks even better if you sing the chorus of the Who's "Substitute" while you're doing it:
This is still an issue. I found a post on how to create endashes and emdashes by typing 2014 & 2015 respectively, select the numbers, etc. -- it doesn't work. My computer dings an error. Also I can not insert a symbol and change to Tahoma font as another suggested work around, because when I am typing in the Notes section insert symbol is grayed out.
Does anyone have a method that actually works? I am using the most current version of Storyline 360.

Storyline cannot display emdashes

Substitute, me for him
Substitute, my Coke for gin
Well, thanks for sharing your solution and tune Daniel
Liz, I hope that Daniel's solution works for you and just let us know if you need anything further.
