Bullet leading spaces greatly increased in Presenter '13

Jan 08, 2015

Using Presenter '13, the space between bullets and the following text is greatly increased when published. I've tried changing the bullet spacing on the PPT master page, but that didn't help the Presenter output.

I'm using our corporate PPT template. Should I replace it with an Articulate-sourced template (assuming my employer would go along with that)?

Thanks!

Leslie,

The same problem is happening in other projects.

I copied an example slide into a new project using the same template, just to make sure I would get the same results - which I did. So I packaged that one slide rather than the entire (and fairly large) project.

Thanks for your quick reply!

I just wanted to be sure that I was testing the same way you were utilizing the content.

I just copied your settings and uploaded to dropbox so that you could see the results:

I am not changing anything in your course, but I did notice that you had some special characters in your Title field. You could try re-naming your file and be sure that you are viewing the published output in it's intended environment as your learner would and not locally.

Our company does not allow access to drop box ;>(

The output would be published on our LMS which, unfortunately, I cannot work with. Our content must be validated locally using a browser before handing it off to be published on the LMS. 

I tried renaming the project and viewing again in a browser, but that didn't help.

How did you see the special characters in the Title field?

I didn't know about SCORM Cloud until now. I might try it.

I thought the title you were referring to was on the slide itself.  I removed the underlines and nothing changed.

I tried changing the bullets to various types, but the same issue was happening for each of them.

I'll try using a different template and see if I get the same results.

Thanks for your help, Leslie! I'll let you know what I came up with if I get it fixed.

I changed the template to use one of the supplied MS themes, and that fixed the problem!

Why our template looks OK on your PC but not mine may be due to our own corporate modified version of Windows 7 which our company locks down to not allow some features. Oh joy...

In any case, it looks like the most expediant path is to just design a different template that isn't messed with by our corporate Marketing department ;>D

Thanks again for your assistance, Leslie.
