Does anyone else want the ability to publish just a scene to Word?

Jul 06, 2016

I would LOVE to have this option- I am a visual person who loves her some paper....I could quickly cut/rearrange tweak the 25 slides I'd like to print out (publish to Word and print), then plug my changes in to the course itself- but I can't do that, because I am unwilling to print 300 pages (the entire story file) to get 25 pages of one scene.

I realize this is an old thread, but it seems to be the most-recent example of the topic.  I really appreciate the addition of the "filtered" publishing enabled in SL3, but I'm puzzled why the ability to publish an entire project, a single scene, or a single slide is offered in every publication option EXCEPT publishing to Word.  I used the link in Leslie's response to request the product-development team consider extending the functionality to ALL publishing formats.  I realize the entire file can be published and then the Word file can be edited, but this is onerous, tedious, time-intensive, and prone to error: I've "over-deleted" pages/slides on more than one occasion since I highlight/delete big batches at once.

Thanks for joining the conversation, Jan. Looks like you'd like for the ability to publish to PowerPoint – I'll make sure our team sees this Feature Request, too! 

You mentioned storyboarding, so I wanted to share some discussions around how folks outline, write, and author courses in Storyline:

Hope that helps! ☺️

HI there, just checking on an older post.  I don't think I see it, but in case I am missing it, I need to print just one scene for a SME to review and so I was hoping to just publish the scene to word.  I know we can select specific slides for other publishing options, but is this still not doable in word.  Would be really helpful.  Thanks

I agree. Publishing just one scene to Word would be a great option. I have a couple of "eBooks" I created in SL360.  When I have to update a chapter and give it to a SME to review, one file may publish as 200 pages in Word.  I only need to send the SME 10 pages, so I have to delete about 190 pages to just get the SME the one section.  Annoying!  I will add this to the feature requests as well.
