Small issues with my first Articulate course!
Jul 20, 2012
Hello there
I have just finished my first ever course in Articulate and I'm loving the tool, but I am still a real novice
I have two things in my base PowerPoint that don't reproduce well when I publish into Articulate - although when I preview each before publication they look fine. I can't work out what I have done/not done!
1. I have a series of headers building one by one in the slide. After the build one has been animated to turn blue to show the forthcoming topic on the next slide. The blue colour does not reproduce on publication although the image flashes.
2. The second relates to some plain text, Arial 12 point, in a grouped image box. On reproduction it looks like the text is there twice and overlayed with the overall effect of blurring the text. I've double-cheked that I haven't actually replicated the text and i've tried changing the font size but no luck
Any ideas out there?
thanks
Sarah

Hi Sarah.
With the "blue", I think you will need to duplicate the textbox, fade one out, and the other in. I suspect this is the "change colour" animation in .ppt that's not supported.
With the text box issues, could you post an image, or the .story file so that people can have a look?
Thanks
Bruce
Hello Sarah, please see here about the blurred text:

Thanks Bruce, Dave for the advice and the speed reply!
The support article worked a treat for the text issue and I'm going to try something else for my coloured boxes.
Cheers

Hi Sarah,
Yes, the coloured box issue happens sometimes. If I can help it, I push my objects off to the side for future editing and change them into images because the software seems to handle images better. Let us know how it turns out for you.
