Unwanted generation of .ppta files

Mar 21, 2013

I use Articulate infrequently, but at random times it generates a .ppta file when I save my PowerPoint. Why does it do this and can I control this behavior?

Hey Scott!

The PPTA file is generated by Articulate Presenter. It contains Articulate resources for your presentation, including audio, annotations, and other Presenter-created resources. It shouldn't be renamed or separated from the corresponding PowerPoint (PPT or PPTX) file. For more information about the PPTA file and to learn how you can transfer project files to another developer or another computer, please review the following article:

Hope that's helpful, Scott
