I’ve drawn a few shapes in Powerpoint on one slide. Here’s my conundrum: when the slide is published in Articulate, the shapes are then disjointed (see attached zipped folder containing the ppt file & screenshot).
I published the file on my machine using PowerPoint 2007 and I can't replicate the issue. You may need to run a repair installation of Office to resolve the issue.
Your suggestion has helped quite a bit. The only small problem that remains is that some of the shapes (in this case, numbers) are slightly out of place (see attached).
Would you happen to have any other ideas on how to tweak the rendering?
Following-up on your idea, I saved the ppt shape as a "png". I then imported this png into a ppt file, and published it via Articulate. The resulting screenshot shows that the text is now fuzzy (see attached docs).

Hi Brian,
I'm using Powerpoint 2003. Any reports on this being a "2003"-related issue (as opposed to some type of corruption on my computer)?
Hi Alex,
Can you un-group the object & see if that resolves the issue?

Hi Alex,
The easiest thing to do is to group the objects, right click & choose Save as Picture. Then, reimport the image back into the slide.
Let me know if that helps!

Any suggested work-arounds?
Alex sorry for butting in, I would save out the image minus the text and use textboxes to add the text, ots more work but looks better
