Having problems with Colorful Tabs PPT Template

Sep 20, 2017

Hi Allison - I am using the Colorful Tabs Template.  I have changed the color scheme to match my company branding.  I am trying to add pages to extend the user's slides between each major Colored tab.  I am having difficulty figuring out your navigation?.  Can you help.  Also when I got to preview what I have done Articulate pop-up tells me that I "Colored Tabs.ppta cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of Articulate Presenter".  If it is a .ppt template, why should the version of Articulate make a difference?

Can you tell me which version of Articulate Presenter you are using.  Thanks.

Hi Sheryl!

Is this the colorful tabs template you're using?

It sounds like you want to add additional slides within each colored tab. I can help with that! 

Simply duplicate the content slide for the corresponding colored tab, and edit the "Back to Menu" button by...

  • changing the text to "Next Slide".
  • right-clicking the button and selecting Edit Hyperlink to adjust the navigation.

Allison used Presenter 360 to create this project, but you should still be able to open it with Presenter '13 since a .PPTA file isn't associated with it. I'll look into this further to determine whether this is a software bug. If that's the case, I'll come back and let you know!

In the meantime, you can get around the error message by copying all the slides into a blank PPT project. Let me know if that works for you!
