PROBLEMS INSERTING WEB OBJECTS INTO A SLIDE

Mar 22, 2012

I'm trying to insert a web object into a slide and after going through the motions and clicking 'ok' the web object placeholder is re-sized to a sideways rectangular shape. (see image below)

(note) that when I test the link before clicking 'ok', it previews perfectly.

Please let me know where I'm going wrong.

Web objects will only display in a Published output. You won't see these in preview. Does it look OK when you publish out and test in a browser?

I believe they also display in Preview mode. At least web objects that point to web pages.

So, Michael, did you try previewing the slide through Articulate? Clik the Articulate tab in PowerPoint, then Preview, then this slide. Otherwise, the slide in PowerPoint WILL look exactly as you've described it.

Thanks for your assistance.

After publishing, I found that the white and blue areas show where the image displays. I resized it and all is well.

Thanks again.
