I would like to be able to copy equations from Microsoft Word into Articulate without having to use the image capability so that a background of my choice will show through and not be highlighted as white. Is there a way to do that? All of the other threads appear to use the image format.
I am able to copy and paste an equation I wrote in Word into Storyline and it doesn't appear as an image, although it would be an image as described here for Powerpoint. But what about setting them up in Powerpoint so that you could use the same/similar background and it would match once included in Storyline?
If you need to edit an equation that you've imported into Storyline, you'll need to make your changes in PowerPoint. Save the equation as an image (right-click and select Save as Picture) and insert the imageinto Storyline.
What technique are you using to copy and paste from Word? If I click on equation and then select COPY from right click, go to Storyline and Right Click paste, I get an empty text box, The solution that will work for me for now is to use the same background in Word and the snippet tool to capture as an image.

Hi Thomas,
I copied the Text itself from Word, not copied a text box or anything from Word. I'm also using Office 2013.
I'm glad using the snipping tool also worked for you as well.
