Hi, can you please give me information how I can make two columns in one textfield (the textfield is in a scroll panel)? I can not find it in format or anywhere else. Thanks! Ines
This is a feature I'd love too, this and/or overflow text. I'm so used to using InDesign I forget that I need have to cut, paste and shape each individual section.
Thanks, Kelly, for reaching out and sharing your thoughts! For anyone else following along, please don't ever hesitate to tell us about what we can do to make Articulate software better for everyone!
While textboxes with multiple columns are not a feature of Storyline, would it work for your design to create a table without a header row or borders? Take a look below:
Creating multiple columns in text boxes could be really useful! This would be a great idea for a feature request! You can submit one here. If the request makes it onto our feature roadmap, we’ll make sure to update you in this conversation!
Has not been added, and I doubt it will ever be. There is a long list of extremely basic text/image features that do not exist in Storyline and have been requested for years, and Articulate's response to those requests has been "Nope. Deal with it!"
As an example: for nineyears users consistently have requested the ability to pre-format bulleted lists. The only thing that has changed in that time period is the staff member who responds.
This would be a useful feature to improve accessibility. I have a list across two separate text boxes at the moment, however, it is not read by a screen reader as a continuation of the same list.
Just as an FYI, newspaper readers are accustomed to reading to the bottom of a column, then starting again at the top.
In the web creation world, in the old days we we’re taught that everything had to be visible at once, because people would not scroll down.
Now in the era of phones, people automatically scroll down, and I would not be surprised to find there are those who don’t even know how to read something in two columns.
Just something to consider in your design process.

I'll add this to the suggested features list.

Did this feature get added? 2 columns would be much cleaner than multiple text boxes :)

not accessible.
Had it been added yet? 6 years later

I was also surprised not to find this feature. Still not available i assume.
