We have been using iSpring for years and are now working on converting over to Articulate. We have a lot of PowerPoints with iSpring quizzes in them. When we open the PPT it automatically saves the iSpring content as Articulate content and then the quiz can't open. We are loosing the content. How can we stop it from saving to Articulate quizmaker before we open it in iSpring?
I haven't looked at iSpring in a while, but I believe when they copied Articulate's Quizmaker from Studio a few years ago they used the same .quiz file extension. If that's the case for you, when you try to open .quiz file and have both iSpring and Articulate installed it is opening the one assigned to .quiz.
You can change the file association so that one application opens over the other. However, I'd probably uninstall Articulate Quizmaker, make your fixes or whatever you need from iSpring. Then uninstall it and install Articulate's Quizmaker. This way you don't run into conflicts.
We are trying to open the iSpring quiz so we can recreate it in
Articulate's quizmaker. We were hoping for a solution that would not
requiring un-installing one. I will look into changing the file
association.
Yeah, it's a tough one because you have two applications sharing the same file extension. And Windows doesn't know what to do. iSpring should have created their own instead of copying Articulate Quizmaker, but we have no control over that.
