Storyline & Presenter V5
May 04, 2012

Is anyone aware of any issues with installing Storyline and still using Presenter v5.
I installed teh trial version last night and the Presenter Add In dissapeared from Powerpoint.
Checking all the settings, it said the Add In was installed but it did not show.
I tried various troubleshooting tips, including unistalling Storyline but it did not work.
Eventually I had to uninstall Office and Presenter, then reinstall for it to work. This took me several hours.
I want to reinstall Storyline, but I don't want to have to uninstall/reinstall Office and Presenter if there is going to be an issue.

Hi Grant & welcome to Heroes,
Articulate Storyline is a completely stand-alone product & can't impact add-ins that are installed in PowerPoint. Can you try installing Storyline again and submit a support case to us if you still have the issue?

Thanks Brian
Been a member of the community for a good while now, just never posted!!
I appreciate that Storyline is standalone, however I can't see any other reason why Presenter would stop working.
I might wait til the weekend to try reinstalling Storyline, training is just part of my role and I have spent far too much time trying to resolve my issue. Guess I better actually do some work!!!
Can I ask you a quick question?
The training I produce is mainly software demos, but has quite a lot of text. In the past I have used multiple screenshots in Powerpoint and videos in engage to demostrate the software. Storyline seems like the perfect tool, but my company is in a quandry re whether to upgrade to Presenter 9 or get Storyline.
One of the key issues is that I would liek to import my current engage slides, but they are not build in v9. Is there any way around this?
Do you feel that storyline is more suited to my needs that Presenter 9?
Absolutely. Storyline will beat presenter / engage hands down for software demos. That's a major power feature offered by Storyline.
Engage comes in as a Web object. I haven't tested importing older versions but these should work.
I tried it last night and they would not import, come to think of it Powerpoint would not import either.
When I get a chance I willr einstall storyline and try again. If I get the same issue I will open a support case.
Just out of interest, what benefits do you see Presenter having over Storyline.
