Hi. When I publish my presenter to Word, it appears as a three-column display with a very fuzzy center column. It can't be read by anyone trying to review it. I choose Storyboard as Output Type. Is there anything I can do to display it differently or more clearly? Thanks!
Hi, Catherine -- Sorry for your trouble and thanks for reaching out! Just so you have it handy, here is an article on Presenter '13: Publishing a Presentation for Microsoft Word, and would it be possible for you to share a screenshot of what you are seeing, please?
Hi, Catherine -- Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately when you reply via email to a forum notification via email, 2 things happen: any attachments you intended to send are not visible here in the discussion, and the details and confidentiality notices in your signature are displayed publicly.
Yes, that looks as I'd expect. When you publish to word, you'll have two Output type to choose from in the drop-down and it determines how much information gets included in the Word document:
Storyboard: This option gives you a 3-column layout that includes detailed slide information, a thumbnail image of each slide, and the text from PowerPoint's notes pane.
Presenter Notes: This gives you a simple Word document that lists each slide number, slide title, and the text from PowerPoint's notes pane.
There isn't a way to change the set up to show slides only and the slides become a fuzzy based on their smaller size and conversion to images in Word.
At this time there is not an option to publish to PDF. You could save the word doc as a pdf, but I do not think that will improve the image quality. You can submit a feature request if you would like. Thanks!

Thanks, too bad. Is there a way to PDF the entire presentation WITH the quiz pages shown as well?

I have submitted a feature request. I can't be the only person who needs to send copies out to folks for pre-publication review. Thank you!
Thanks Catherine for sending it along - I'm sure you're not the only one, but it's not one I've heard often.
That’s because people don’t like to complain. Fortunately, I don’t mind!
Ha! I don't know if I'd agree with that... ;)
But keep the feedback coming!
