We had faculty narrate a slideshow and now I need to split the slideshow into to modules? When I tried to cut and paste the slides I lost the faculty audio? Help?!
I'm assuming that the slideshow was done in PowerPoint, and the audio is embedded in the PowerPoint file. If so, here's what I'd try ...
Instead of copying and pasting selected screens into a new PPT, copy the entire original PowerPoint to a new name. Then DELETE all the screens that would not be part of the module you're trying to create.
This should preserve the embedded narration.
From the original PPT, do this for each separate module you want to create.
Terry, I'm curious as to how this works for you, I've been wrestling with this problem for years. I think there's also a difference as to whether the audio was inserted in powerpoint using the Articulate functionality or with the PowerPoint functionality. Jim
Go to the Home tab, click the drop-down arrow beside New Slide, and choose Reuse Slides.
In the Reuse Slides panel, click the Browse button and choose Browse File.
Browse to your original PowerPoint file and click Open.
At the bottom of the Reuse Slides panel, mark the box to Keep source formatting.
Right-click the first slide in the Reuse Slides panel and select Insert All Slides.
Save the new presentation and republish.
Note: Articulate resources, such as audio and video, will need to be inserted again into the new presentation. You may need to export the narration from your original presentation, then import it into the new presentation.
Jim is correct as well and the audio would need to be a part of the Presenter project vs PowerPoint audio. If it was recorded via Powerpoint, this article may be helpful.

Hi Terry!
I know we typically do not advise a copy/paste.
