Horribly messed up tables in '13

I'm having the same issue with the tables, and they look identical to the pics posted already. Is there a resolution? Using Studio, not Storyline.

I just republished the training again, and it worked OK.  Really weird.

The suggestion to put everything on the C drive is really a non-starter, especially when my C drive is a small SSD reserved for just the OS and applications.  All my files are always on external drives or on the network.  In theory, at work, I'm supposed to have all my files on Sharepoint and work with them from there.  I don't do this because my IT department is crazy to suggest such a thing, but Articulate is saying that I should not be doing this.

Preview vs. publish mismatches, or preview glitches, IMO, are up to Articulate to prevent or fix, and it should not matter where my files live to fix it.

I ended up copying the table as an image and pasted it back in the slide as a picture. Based on some other posts that was suggested. I'm waiting to see if that fixes the issue on the LMS.

Hi Joe! We can just lump this into our current conversation as we work through your install.

I would like to hear the solution also. I am working off of my C drive, so that's not an issue.

I built the table in PowerPoint and sometimes it looked fine when published, other times it was a garbled mess like Steven's. There was no way to predict either outcome and makes it hard to be confident in Presenter. I ended up making boxes with text that looked like the table but that's not a good workaround and could be incredibly time-consuming for more complex tables.

Solutions?

Hi Janet and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

I am still working with Joe and have not heard back from him yet, but I would be happy to send you the information that I shared with him:

Thanks - I will check it out!

Hi Joe! As we discussed, this (having a chart in your presentation) is an issue that our QA/Dev Team is aware of and working on. Thanks for your continuation to work with me so that we can understand your issue fully.

Hi Joe, I did realize it's a bug not the file itself as the problem wasn't a consistent issue. Plus, there have been other 'buggy' problems on the two different projects I've been working on this past month.

Each project had one imported movie, along with various Engage interactions and quizzes. One of the projects had 70 slides, the other 40.

I've just started working in Articulate these past two months. I am impressed with what you can do with Articulate relatively easily, having used Flash in the past for e-learning projects (I took a few years off). However, I've never had so many problems with a program. Was Presenter '09 just as buggy?

Having to review each slide, each time I publish because I have to look out for buggy results has added a lot of extra time to my work flow - not okay.

Thanks Joe for the macro code. It works! If there is a better fix to publishing tables correctly please post.

Hi Rachael! Glad you are finding some valuable information here in the forums

I wanted to pop in and welcome you to E-Learning Heroes!

I've got same scrambled tables.

Hi Jack! 

In case you missed it above:

Hi,

Is there any update on this issue? We'd like to avoid changing the table into images as much as possible.

Thanks,

Edz

Hi Edz! This thread is a bit dated, but the issue of a chart crashing publish was corrected in Update 2. I would advise that you utilize the latest update, which is now Update 5.

Hi Karine,

If you're still having the same issue after republishing in Update 5, I'd want to confirm that you uploaded a new version of the course (maybe not overwriting the previous version) and then look at clearing your history and cache in the iPad to ensure it's reloading a new copy of the course. If you're still seeing this, are you able to share a copy of the Presenter package with us? 

Awesome Karen and thanks for the update! 

Thanks Joe H. I used your code--perfect!! Thanks so  much!!

Glad this helped you out Renee. 

Hi Randona,

Thanks for letting us know you're using the latest update of Studio '13, and I'd also want to check that you're working on project files as described here.  If you're still having difficulty can you create a Presenter package and share it with us here? 

Just wanted to say ditto, I'm having all the same issues I had with the older version.  Bummer!

I also have a suggestion, but somehow posted my comment before adding it.  I also have this problem.  Any sort of shapes, tables, smart art, etc. I create in power point never look as intended when published in articulate.  So, to get around this, I just save each shape/table as a picture (by right clicking on it).  Then I delete the shape and insert the picture from where I saved it on my PC. If  you're trying to save multiple shapes as one picture, make sure you 'group' them together before saving as picture.  Another trick is to take a screen shot (try downloading snip it - it's an awesome tool) of the shapes, tables.  Once you have a screen shot you can copy and crop each piece to create multiple pieces if you want to animate them.  Hope that helps a little.
