I've been having this issue where the clip art that I have inserted into my slides are a little off in placement when I publish. I've been using .EMF files created from Illustrator and then convert them to Microsoft objects within PowerPoint. I have already downloaded the latest update for Presenter 13 and I'm not sure what is causing the shift?
First, can you tell us how you're viewing the published presentation, please? Are you viewing the published output files locally, or are you uploading to a web server or LMS?
If you're viewing your published files locally, this may be the problem. If you view a published Studio '13 or '09 presentation on your local hard drive or send it to someone else to view on their local hard drive, you'll encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features of your content to fail.
To properly test your published content and share it with others, upload it to the environment for which it was published. Please review the article below for more information:
I suggest using SCORM Cloud for your course - it's a great place to test SCORM content.
Another option would be to use ourTempshareserver. Just keep in mind that this server is only available for testing content - it is not officially supported by Articulate and all content will be removed automatically after 10 days.
You're always welcome to try outArticulate Online, as well - it's available for a free 30 day trial.
If that doesn't help, are you able to share one of the .EMF files or a slide from your PowerPoint presentation? You're also welcome to share an Articulate Package, if you'd like to share the entire project. Please just keep in mind that the maximum file size for the forums is 20 MB.

Thanks for your reply Christine. I have been viewing the output content locally. I will get it uploaded to a web server to test it that way.
If that doesn't work I can prob upload at least a slide with one of the images that is having the slide position shifting issue.
Quick question, have you cropped it and rotated it in Storyline? Sometimes the image doesn't show up correctly when I crop and flip it horizontally. The image gets displaced in the work area and shows up differently in the preview.
I am having problems with this issue too. Animated shapes placed on a slide look to be in the right location when viewed in a PowerPoint slide show - but are in the wrong location after publishing with Presenter 13. I have tried this on an LMS and the result is the same.
Hi Leslie - as I said in my post - I am not working locally. I uploaded to our LMS provider using SCORM 2004. I noticed something else of interest however - this issue only occurs when viewing the content on a flash enabled device - the content looks good under HTML5
I haven't uploaded to SCORM CLOUD yet. Didn't see the point as I was working remotely off an LMS.
Hope you can help! Usually flash is rock solid but this time the HTML 5 output is better!
Thanks for your offer to take a look Leslie. I tested the slide on SCORM CLOUD and it has the same problem behavior when viewed on a flash enabled system. I have attached an Articulate Package for you to take a look at.
Thanks for the information and for sharing your file Philip. I am able to see the behavior that you are describing and will forward this to our QA Team to further investigate.

Hi Philip!
Are you working locally as well as shared in Christine's response above? What were your results when you tested in SCORM Cloud?

Hi Philip! I'd be interested to know your SCORM Cloud results so that we can know if the issue lies with the software or with the LMS.
If you have a problem slide/example that you could share here, I'd be happy to take a look.

Further info - update 3 does not improve the result. Still fine using HTML5 but out of place for flash
