Inserting one file into another
Apr 22, 2011

Is there a way to publish a Presenter file and import it as a web object (similar to tools explained in the forum for importing a Quizmaker or Engage interaction)? And would this make sense?
I have a 50-slide file to insert into a larger file that uses the excellent spiral notebook template, and would love to have a simple way to import this without needing to reformat all the slides to match the template, then paste them in, winding up with a 200 slide file...
Thanks!

Hi Carol,
Yes, this can be done by using the screencast and the webducateWhiteNoButton player template from the links below:

Thanks, Brian!
I went through the steps you recommended and when my first attempt at this created a slide with an Articulate control bar at the bottom, I published again.choosing a slide-only view for the WhiteNoButtons skin. Here is the result:. My intention was to resize the placeholder to just inside the purple notebook page, and have the slide content fill that space. But I continue to wind up with a white background inside a grey background inside the purple. Any more great ideas?
Hi Carol
I think it is the html background colour, you just need to change it in the html file

Hi, Beaker (Phil)! Tried that, changing the white to purple to match the notebook page, but; it didn't fix the multiple surrounds issue - the gray borders remained. Carol
Hi Carol
Sorry it didnt work, it looks like your web object is bigger than the player (did you size it to the page), I dont use web objects much so Brian is probably the best person to fix this.
I would try resizing the html document to the size of the player and then reinserting the web object,
Also have you try resizing the web object to remove the borders
