Hey, everybody. New Storyline user here. I'm putting text into dialogue bubbles at 12 pt. Every time I try to re-size the bubble, the font size changes (grows or shrinks). This is very annoying. Does anyone know of a way to set Storyline up so that once I set the font at 12 pts it will STAY that size no matter what i do to the dialogue bubbles? thanks!
Are you seeing this change happen after you publish it out?
One quick question and possible fix. Sometimes, if the canvas size is set to something other than 100%, you can see a resizing. But this won't effect the published output. So if you're not on 100%, try setting it to that mark and see if that clears the problem.
This happens because of the default Autofit setting for the shape and is easily corrected.
Right click on your dialogue bubble to display the shortcut menu, then select Format Shape. Then select the Text Box tab and make sure you click on Do Not Autofit.

This should be the solution. Let us know!
Is there a way to set "Do not Autofit" as a default of text boxes?
@Debra
When you create an text box, you can right-click and set that as the Default Text Box.
You may need to test this though, as there are some settings that do not form part of this - it is mainly fill and border from what I can see.

Hi Bruce...that is exactly it! I must have looked at that menu a dozen times--if it had been a snake.....Thanks so much for your help!
