Smart Art no longer publishing properly

Jun 21, 2011

I have several modules that I've published successfully before, and now that I'm about to launch the courses, the slides with Smart Art are no longer publishing properly.  They are a simple bullet list, but none of the text or shapes show up.  All I get is a solid box.

I have checked the length of the path (it's ~100 characters), I am working on the c:\ drive...

Any suggestions?

Hello Justin,
I was able to fix the problem (but I still don't know why it happened). The Smart Art had a coloured rectangle behind it and on each slide I went through the step of "moving it to the back" (even though in Powerpoint it already was at the back).  That seemed to fix the problem.
I am curious as to "why" this may have happened.  It happened to all slides with this type of SmartArt... in three different courses at the same time.  Also, at the same time there were several slides in one course that had a coloured text boxes that were animated, and when published the coloured box showed up right away (not animated when it was supposed to be), and without the text.  I fixed it by making them boxes with transparent text boxes on top and grouping them... Oh, and just previous to that all the Quizzes wouldn't load (in all three courses), so I deleted them and re-inserted them...
Not sure why all these happened... at the same time... to all three courses???
