Player Template Not Adopted
Dec 28, 2011
I was surprised to see a black player template with a sidebar and a powered by logo around my newly published elearning, especially since I'd specified white, with an attachments tab and no sidebar or logo. The preview hadn't shown me any discrepancy.
I've modified the template. Checked that I'm saving it in my C: drive. Created a new template based on an existing one. Modified the template and saved it as a new name. Created a new template.
What, you may be asking do I have when I publish? A black template with no attachments tab, no sidebar, but with a powered by logo. the buttons are not as complete as I wished. It doesn't change no matter what I do -- even if I change the color to hot pink in 5 or 6 different areas. It's still black.
And frankly, I don't think I've ever seen this black player template before.
I was just upgraded to Windows 7 and PowerPoint 2010. What's going on with my project? What am I doing wrong?

Thank you so much for your help! I have uploaded the file as you directed, but did not receive a case number along the way. (Or perhaps it's just a realy wacko week ad I didn't see it.) I sure appreciate any help/suggestions your team can provide.
Hey Crisa!
I'm not seeing your case either. Did you create the case under the same name? If you'd like to PM your email address or maybe an alternate name that you might have used to create the case, I'd be happy to follow-up on it and ensure that it gets into the right hands. Thanks!
I found the case number. It's: 00259858
Hi Crisa!
Curious to know if the support you received helped you come to a resolution. Please feel free to share the steps you took to troubleshoot if you did in fact get it worked out. Eager to hear. Thanks!
Ta da! All steps followed one after another, each time. At last, it took, so I must assume I wasn't "really" doing each step each time. Here's what I did:
After multiple attempts, it worked.
My anxiety level fell dramatically knowing the Articulate staff would help me troubleshoot. You came up with idea afte idea in private messages and never gave up. You were positive and professional each step of the way. I can't begin to thank you enough!! You rock!
