Exception During Import PowerPoint

Hi Kristin

do you have the ppt on your local drive? and the file isn't open in Powerpoint is it? that will cause an error on import.

Hi Kristin!

In addition to the things Wendy mentioned, as well as ensuring you're working locally, you might want to try running both Storyline and Microsoft PowerPoint as administrator and see if you would be able to import a PowerPoint file. 

Look for the EXE file of Storyline and PowerPoint. Right-click the file and select "Run as administrator". Once both programs are opened as admin, try importing the PowerPoint file in Storyline. 

hi wendy! no, it's not open. i tried saving to a couple different locations on my computer and uploading but i still get the same error.

hi alyssa! we are unable to run as admins in my company. i will have to get desk side support to log-on my computer as an admin and have them upload it for me. otherwise i am going to be doing a TON of copy / paste from PPT into Storyline (and i don't want to have to do that).

Thanks for the update Kristin, I know that's frustrating. Would you mind attaching the PPT file here so I can test the import on my end? Just click the Add Attachment button at the bottom of the reply window. 

hi alyssa! i am unable to send the PPT. i did as you recommended, working with local desk side support, opened both in EXE as an administrator and the error is still appearing.

Kristin, if you're unable to attach the PowerPoint for privacy reasons, you can always send it to me privately by way of this form.
