Text formatting in Articulate Rise

You can format text with bold and italics by highlighting the text. We are evaluating other text formatting features for future releases.

Hi Nitesh:

You can also use some conventional Word-like tricks to format text in Rise.

For example, after selecting text, you can format it as BOLD by pressing CTRL+B.

After selecting text, format for italics using CTRL+I.

If you click on a point inside your text, clicking either CTRL combination will change the built-in font display settings at that point forward.

There is no indicator for this, you will only see a floating B/I/Link tool pop-up when you select.

TIP: Also similar to Word: double-click on a word to select it, triple-click to select a paragraph/block of text.

Hope this helps!

What if formatting options aren't showing up in Rise?

Hi Amey,

If you select text, the text formatting toolbar should appear right below the selected text. 

Select your formatting options from the toolbar.

I'm unable to subscript and superscript Greek symbols and Roman letters etc. in cells within a table within rise. The formatting toolbar will not subscript/superscript in this case. Any suggestions?

Hi,

You can apply superscript and subscript in tables.

Sometimes the text editor stops working.

Exit the current Lesson back to the main course page, and the enter the Lesson again.

That will reload the text editor and should make the superscript and subscript work again.

Morning! 

I have some text in a table in Rise that is showing up bold. It appears I lost the 'bold' option in the text formatting toolbar, and Ctrl+B to unbold the text is not working either. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Colleen,

Sometime the text and table editors stop working correctly.

Exit the Lesson to the Course menu, and select the same Lesson again.

That will reload the text and table editors, and resolve the issue.

Thank you, Karl!  I just tried your suggestion and it didn't work, unfortunately. I'll also add that this is only happening with text that is in a table.  

Hi Colleen,

Exiting and restarting Rise should fix the table problem as well. It works for me every time.
