Exporting to Word without Word installed?

Jul 16, 2018

My company moved to Google apps only, meaning Microsoft Office was uninstalled from our computers. This means that I am no longer able to export to Word document. I get an error message when I try (see attached). This is a huge problem, because there is no export to PDF functionality, so when I need to provide visual context to our translators, there's no way for me to show them the file. Does anyone have any suggestions that don't involve taking a screenshot of each individual page in my course?

Yes, this is what I was doing. 

In the end I had the company make an exception for me and reinstall the Office Suite and it worked perfectly. I was also having an error importing translated Word files which was resolved by installing Office. 

Personally I feel that Storyline should function independently of Microsoft Office, but I have a feeling that's a pipe dream.
