Presenter not publishing the whole slide animations

I have created a powerpoint with animations. I have added an Engage interaction (glossary) as a tab and I've added recordings and have published it locally as an Articulate Presentation.  I have two issues I am hoping everyone could help me with. The first issue is that on my second slide I show my name and email address and when I view the powerpoint slide show, it displays properly. When I preview it in the Articulate preview section, it is flipping that information upsidedown. I can't figure out why.

Secondly, the animations of text aren't completing when I view it in Articulate Preview, only in slideshow.

Any ideas why? I can't have students viewing this presentation this way.

Thanks!

Hi James and welcome to the community!

If the animations are working in slide show, but not in preview, you might want to confirm the animations are supported by Presenter:

Articulate Support - Supported PowerPoint Animations

Can you take a look and see if the animation types you're using are supported, or let me know which ones you're using?

How do you have the email address and name displayed on the slide that's flipping the text? Are there any effects or animations?

Thanks!

Hi, Christine....the first animation was Wipe, and I saw on your list that was a problem animation, so I've changed that. The second was split and even though that didn't work for some reason, I changed it to Fade and it works, so I'm ok with that. The name and email address are displayed as:

this is static text, no animations.

Hi James,

Great - glad to hear you were able to get the animations working. Sorry you had to make some changes, but I'm glad it's smoothed out.

For the text, if it's static, I'm not sure why I would show upside down.

Really quick - what's your current DPI? 

Articulate Studio '09 is only supported with a system DPI setting of 96. If you're using a DPI setting other than 96, you'll encounter erratic behavior in the desktop applications and the published output. The following list provides some examples of unexpected behavior that you may encounter: 

*  Elements of the application appear misplaced or distorted.
*  When previewing, content is distorted.
*  The published output is distorted or doesn't display correctly.
*  Annotations are misplaced.
*  Lengthy slide notes won't scroll when recording narration.
*  Your logo doesn't display correctly.
To resolve these issues, change your system's DPI to 96. Here's how:
