Can I export a SL file as text?

Apr 10, 2023

Hi there - 

Lectora allows me to publish a Project as text (with screenshots) in a Word doc. SL allows me to export a Project for translation as a Word doc, but there is way too much info there - I just want the text that appears with each slide (with screenshots). Is there an easy way to do this? 

TIA -

Hi Lerissa

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but the Storyline 'Publish' to Word facility does pretty much what you are asking for. The only slight complication I find when publishing to Word from Storyline is that some of the text is on Layers. You can include layers when publishing but the output does sometimes look a bit complicated:

Hi John - If you are misunderstanding, it's only because I haven't explained very well. Here's a page from a published-to-Word doc:

A similar example in Lectora, exported to Word:

I don't want a Word doc with screen shots pasted in; I want a Word doc with editable text. 

Is this possible in StoryLine? 

Thanks -
