'09 .intr files repeatedly elude PowerPoint
Mar 11, 2015
I hope it isn't a problem that I take us on a ride in the "way-back machine" for a moment. I'm new to Articulate, my boss is still using '09, and there is a problem that is gumming up the works.
I open a new PowerPoint presentation, insert a new Engage interaction, save both files, then press the "Edit in Engage" button. I am returned a warning that the .intr file cannot be found. I manually reassign the file in the provided browser window, but Engage still refuses to open from PowerPoint. I can open and edit the .intr independently, and the edits will show up in publication - I just can't access it from PPT.
Is there a way to force the connection? Can I edit a path in a script? I know there are scripts out there to help with folder name changes, but I haven't seen this problem addressed for newly created products.

Hi Pierre!
Please be sure that you are working locally on your project files and utilizing the latest update, which is Update 10. If so, you may need to conduct a repair of your software to correct this erratic behavior.
Thanks Leslie! I've updated and repaired, but I'm still getting the same result.
I've discovered that if I copy all of my .intr's back into the "/mydocuments/My_Artibulate_Projects/" folder, then the original .ppt can reconnect, then I can turn them into a package, and move the package wherever I'd like without a problem. It seems odd that .intr's can be found if they are in that one folder and no where else, but I guess that is the problem.
Hi Pierre! We always advise moving the entire package so no disconnects like this occur. Glad that you were able to get things going again.
