I have a series of mulitple choice quiz questions that are written in Microsoft Word. Is there any way to import these questions into Storyline instead of putting in each question stem and possible answer one by one?
Unfortunately there is not an option to import quiz questions into Storyline yet from Word or Excel although I've seen a number of feature requests for the Excel import as it's currently included in Studio '13. If you had a course with a bunch of multiple choice quiz questions already included, you could replace the content using the Translation feature which exports to a Word document.
Sorry Whitney - I know I'm hoping to see the import from Excel into a future version of Storyline. So you'll definitely want to send in the feature request - the more the better!
Thanks, Katie! I actually made a tutorial video about the process of importing into Storyline from Notepad today. Sharing here in case it helps anyone else out.
Great thanks! The questions wouldn't import using the template slide for me so they just came in as generic MC questions. Not sure why. But I will keep trying :)

One item you may want to check is that your initial question slide is part of your Slide Master layouts. You can read more about slide masters here!

Thanks Ashley, I thought that might be the case.

Has any progress been made with this? Seems this would be a very welcomed feature.
Hello Mike,
This guide explains how to import questions from an Excel spreadsheet and a text file.
Let me know if you had something else in mind! Happy to continue the conversation.

I'm here! <waves hello> Yeah, this seems like an issue with the first/placeholder question not matching with the master layout.
