Red lines on screen when I publish

May 01, 2015

I have one slide where red lines show up only when I publish. They're not in the PPT and don't show when I preview. See attached.

The first time it happened, I re-created the slide and deleted the problem child. That seemed to work.

But today, it's back again. Ideas??

I bet I was too Carrie! Sorry about that :)

Have you tried importing into a new file to see if this alleviates the issue? I assume that you are working on local files of course.

  1. Open a new, blank presentation in PowerPoint.
  2. Go to the Home tab, click the drop-down arrow beside New Slide, and choose Reuse Slides.
  3. In the Reuse Slides panel, click the Browse button and choose Browse File.
  4. Browse to your original PowerPoint file and click Open.
  5. At the bottom of the Reuse Slides panel, mark the box to Keep source formatting.
  6. Right-click the first slide in the Reuse Slides panel and select Insert All Slides.
  7. Save the new presentation and republish.

Note: Articulate resources, such as audio and video, will need to be inserted again into the new presentation. You may need to export the narration from your original presentation, then import it into the new presentation.

If you are having difficulty with the software in general, it may be helpful to do the repair for Studio '09.
