Storyline 3: Publishing a Course to Microsoft Word

Publish your Storyline 3 project for Microsoft Word when you need a printable version of your course. It’s a convenient way to distribute handouts, provide a transcript for accessibility purposes, or share content with a reviewer.

1. Enter Title, Description, and Folder Location
2. Choose the Document Properties
3. Publish

Step 1: Enter Title, Description, and Folder Location

1. Go to the Home tab on the Storyline ribbon and click Publish.
2. When the Publish window appears, select the Word tab on the left.
   
   
3. Enter the Title the way you want it to appear in your Word document. It defaults to the name of your project file. (Changing the title won't affect the name of your project file.) The maximum length for a project title is 80 characters.
4. Click the ellipsis button (...) beside the title field to define additional project information, such as the author, duration, and version number. This information won’t be visible when you publish for Word.
5. Use the Description field to give learners a synopsis of your course.
6. Use the Folder field to choose where you want to publish your course—for example, your computer desktop. Click the ellipsis button (...) to browse to a location. Storyline 3 will create a new folder in that spot with the published Word document.
   
   Important: Always publish to your local hard drive. Publishing to a network drive or a USB drive can cause problems with your published output due to latency.

Step 2: Choose the Document Properties

In the Properties section, choose from the following formatting options:

Step 3: Publish

When you're finished making selections, click the Publish button. When the publishing process is complete, you’ll see the Publish Successful window with several follow-up options.
