I am stumped as to how to share a Presenter 13 project with SME's that do not have Articulate. I have published to web and tried sending it via DropBox, I've created an Articulate package and sent that, but only the original PPT, etc. show up when the SME unzips the package. What am I doing wrong?
I usually publish it using the CD option. Then I forward the folder to them. I may have to zip the folder if I use our file transfer system. But then they can view the presentation.
Scott, I answered too quickly. So now I cannot get it on Google Drive -- too large. So I zipped the 'published to CD' file and success! But then when I shared the zipped file with a recipient . . . they try to unzip and it is causing confusion because many, many files open up and then they try clicking on all of them to no avail. The presentation won't open.
Looks like Scott is assisting you here, but I just wanted to pop in and mention that replying to the forums via e-mail attaches your signature. You are welcome to pop in and edit if needed.
I am sorry I could not help more. I have had to do the CD option several times with mine. Out of curiosity, did they unzip the files before they tried it?
Yes, they had to unzip it. It wouldn't open otherwise and then there were
oodles of files and the Launch Presentation icon was no where to be found.
To check this out I sent it to my personal email. First issue was that
Google wouldn't let me send it, so that could be a company thing. It just
one of those frustrating days!

Scott,
Ahh! Thank you! I will do that!
Thanks so, so much for your assistance.
Your very welcome, glad I could help.

So I am not one of the e-learning heroes, so let me help as much as I can.
I attached an example of my template I use. I published this using the CD option.
You should see a file called presentation.html. I would open (or at least should open) the presentation in the web browser.
Hi Jann!

Thank you. Oops! I edited the signature in my replies.
Scott,
Thanks for your help, but I cannot open the file.
I guess I will go old fashion and burn it on a disc and send it snail mail to my SME.
