Thank you for asking about Office 2016 support. We're currently testing it for compatibility and will announce our level of support soon after Microsoft officially releases it.
Storyline 2.0: This may or maybe directly relevant to the Studio 13 issue, yet I would like to say I have upgraded my Office365 to Office 2016 (under Windows 10) yesterday, and thrilled to discover everything until now looks fine, including having solved the previous issue of inability to import Powerpoint files directly into Storyline.
Microsoft has officially launched 2016. I'm also curious about the stability of Articulate Presenter 2013 in PowerPoint 2016. Has anyone also tested the live co-authoring and storing authored files on a local but synced onedrive setup?
Hi Joe! I cannot speak to if other users have this set-up yet, but I do know that our team is doing some additional testing and should have some updated documentation, to what I shared above, soon.
Even for Presenter '13, you would need the actual software installed on your computer as the web- only version of Office 365 is not compatible. You can see all of Presenter '13 system requirements here.
I did upgrade to 13 plus update and seems to work ok with latest version O365. I did not get the Studio pro version at the time (don't know what I was thinking!) Can I get Replay by itself? I had that before and of course it's been uninstalled now.
Sorry for the delay - but I did want to share that Office 2016 is now listed as a part of the supported versions of Office. We did not add any specific Office 2016 features to Studio though.
Has anyone mentioned issues with publishing issues with Office PPT2016? Specifically this is what's happening to one of our developers:
Animation was created in PPT 2010 to finish at the same time a music clip finished. When publishing the exact same files in PPT 2016, the animation finished well after the music clip finished.
This occurred both in the Preview mode and after it was published.
The extended animation time occurred when using PPT 2016 both when publishing to the Web and when publishing to Articulate Online.
Any feedback as to why this happens is appreciated. We would rather not have to go back and re-time all the animations and resync everything. Thanks for your help.
I haven't heard of that particular issue with Office 2016 and Presenter - does it look like things are out of sync when using the "sync animations" feature or just as a part of Preview/publish? Are you able to view the same file still in Office 2010 after upgrading to 2016 and see if the items are still in sync with one another? If you'd like, we're always happy to take a look at the Presenter package to see how it behaves. You can post it here in the forums or send along to our Support team here.
Thanks Ashley, I'm actually having a co-worker send over the files. It's actually an issue where the published vesion via Office 2010 is timed fine, but when the exact files are re-published on a laptop that uses Office 2016, then the published version for some reason the powerpoint animations no longer is timed correctly and they end much later than when the music stops.
Thanks. hopefully we'll hear soon from whomever is testing for us. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks Michael - if you want to let me know the case number once you submit it, I'll also be happy to follow along and update this thread as applicable.
Does Presenter '09 work with Powerpoint 2016? I am trying to work on one of the older courses created with the Articulate '09 suite, and Powerpoint keeps freezing. If it's not compatible, can someone tell me why the Presenter '09 compatibility was dropped for Powerpoint 2016, please?
Articulate Studio '09 isn't supported with Microsoft Office 2016. It requires Office 2010 or earlier. See the complete system requirements for Studio '09 here.
I cannot speak as to why except that technology can exceed capabilities of old software.
I don't know if this fits this thread perfectly, but do we have any information on PowerPoint 2016 with Studio 360, Presenter specifically? I'm getting an error that says something like "Failed to detect Articulate Process" when I try to open newly created training that has Engage and Quizmaker content. I just got Studio 360 installed last week and I was able to work with it much of the week, but this morning, I'm stuck. When the error happens, I have to use Task Manager to close PowerPoint, because it is unresponsive.
Uh-oh, Michele! PowerPoint 2016 is compatible with Presenter 360, so I wouldn't expect that to cause a problem, as long as you're working from your local hard drive. A fresh installation should fix you right up!

Hi Niki - So I assume that Studio 9 is not compatible with Office 365? and will have to upgrade to version 13?
Thanks -
Hi Jeff!
You can find all of our system requirements here in regards to Presenter '09.
Here are the Powerpoint details:
PowerPoint 2000, PowerPoint 2002 (PowerPoint XP), PowerPoint 2003, PowerPoint 2007, or PowerPoint 2010 (32-bit only)
Even for Presenter '13, you would need the actual software installed on your computer as the web- only version of Office 365 is not compatible. You can see all of Presenter '13 system requirements here.
Sorry .. Leslie not Niki ..

Hi Jeff,
If you're looking for just Replay, you'll want to connect with our Success team here. They'll help you out.
Thank You!
