Has anyone else had a problem with numbers not lining up correctly after publishing?  I'm using powerpoint 2007 and the new presenter 2013.

Hi Peter!

Thanks for the screenshot. However, I'm having trouble finding numbers that seem out of place. It also looks like the screenshot is of a preview. You mentioned this is happening after publishing - are you able to share a screenshot of how it looks after you've published, if it's different?

If this is happening when you're previewing, please make sure you're running the correct DPI settings.

It may also help to make sure you're working with local project files when modifying/previewing

  • Work on your local drive (your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, including file corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior. 
  • You should also make sure the directory path to your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters (for example C:\Articulate).
  • Avoid using special characters, accents or symbols in your file names (this includes spaces and underscores).

Additional information regarding "Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces" in Windows operating systems can be found in the following Microsoft article.

If this only happens after publishing, please make sure you're not viewing the published output files locally.

If you view a published Studio '13 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:

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!
