I'm trying to publish my files to LMS and for some reason it stops halfway through. I'm also not able to preview all the slides. I am, however, able to publish successfully to a CD. Please advise.
Does the program close when it stops half-way through, or do you see an error message? Also, does it seem like it's stopping at a specific point, or is it random?
If this is happening at a specific point, it may have something to do with the content on that slide or slides. First, make sure you're working with local files.
1. Work on your local drive (your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, including file corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior.
2. You should also make sure the directory path to your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters (for example C:\Articulate).
3. Avoid using special characters, accents or symbols in your file names.

Since you've already tried publishing to CD and getting it to work, you could check to see if it's that specific file that's the problem. Create a new, blank presentation and save it. Then attempt to upload the blank presentation to your LMS and see if it publishes successfully.
Well, the presentation was stopping at the same point. I checked those slides and figured out there was something wrong with the stock photos. After creating new slides with a different picture, the publishing was finally successful. Thanks for your help.

Let me know how it goes.
