I've been trying to use the slide master trick on a labelled graphic, but can't seem to get the border from articulate engage to disappear. I have the media border style set to none and my theme colours set to white and transparent and it still appears in the preview and in my powerpoint slides (see screenshot). Does anyone have any suggestions?
Are you referring to this slide master trick? And looking to remove the thin border of just the Engage interaction element? Did you change the Main>Base border color as described here as well?
Thanks for your note. Yes, that's the trick I was referring to. With the exception of the content, I've changed all the theme colours to white and made them transparent, yet the border still shows up on the master slide in powerpoint.
Based on the comments in the link you sent it looks like the border can't be removed. Those comments are over a year old though, so maybe there's been an update?
Ah yes - the border itself can't be removed entirely and unfortunately there isn't yet a change to that in Studio '13 as it was a feature request. I haven't played with it though - I wonder if you set it to the same color as the background of your slide if that would work for you?
Unfortunately, you can still see a trace of the border even though the background and the border colours are both white. Ideally I'd like to have a slide that has uses the powerpoint text boxes and their functions and then have an interactive labelled graphic right next to it. Is this at all possible?
If you're looking to size it down smaller and have those powerpoint elements sit next to the Engage graphic, I'm not familiar with any ways to do this using the built in set up. Depending on what your set up you could also look at publishing the Engage element separately and embedding it as a web object?
Also, hopefully some of our design experts in the community will be able to weigh in here and share some ideas.
