upgrade to articulate '13

Jan 13, 2014

I am trying to upgrade the power point presentations to articulate '13.  After a while the computer starts the upgrade appears the message that follows.  What can I do?  I don't see any problem.  I have the newest version of office (home 360?) I didn't have any problems though with articulate '09 and this office's version.  Any ideas, please?

Hi Paty,

Sorry to hear about the trouble!

First, please make sure you're running a supported version of Office (32-bit):

Articulate Support - Supported Versions of Microsoft Office

Also, please make sure that you're working with local project files:

  • Work on your local drive (your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, including file corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior. 
  • You should also make sure the directory path to your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters (for example C:\Articulate).
  • Avoid using special characters, accents or symbols in your file names (this includes spaces and underscores).

Additional information regarding "Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces" in Windows operating systems can be found in the following Microsoft article.

If that doesn't fix the problem, please try repairing Studio '13:

If you're still experiencing these issues, please try the following troubleshooting steps:

Let me know if you try all of those suggestions and still have trouble.

Thanks!
