E-Learning Heroes - Advice and ideas from the Articulate Community

Interestingly, when I preview or publish my current module the first bullet point in any list disapears - the formatting stays, with it indented to match the rest of the bullet points blow it but the bullet point at the top of the list is gone.

It is there on the slide but not when I preview or publish. I have changed/checked colours, fonts and all manner of things.

Any ideas??

Thanks James. Thats a new learning to me.

I have read about this in the forums before. A quick search of previous threads and found this good tip:

"If the first line of text (in the text box) includes a bullet, the bullet will always disappear when you publish. It's an easy fix if you put a return before the bullet, it now is technically the second line of text, and the bullet will appear."

I am experiencing the opposite problem. In PPT my first line is formatted with NO bullet. There is a return after the first line and then the third and subsequent lines are formatted as bullets. Looks fine in PPT but, when I publish, a bullet is ADDED to the first line.

I've had some success by reformatting the text of the first 3 lines, but it works for some slides and not for others. I worked with the Masters but can't seem to isolate the problem to a specific Master.

We recently moved from Office 2007 to Office 2010. This problem never happened before the upgrade. We are making updates to courses that were originally done with PPT 2007. Is there a problem with PPT versions here?  I'm using Articulate 9.
