importing a Power Point

Hi Paty,

It's possible that either the Powerpoint file or the Storyline file has become corrupt. One solution for a corrupt Storyline file could be to import your Storyline file into a new project: Importing From Another Storyline Project. 

To prevent future corruption, you'll want to follow these general guidelines:

• Work on your local drive (your C: drive).Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, including file corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior. 
• You should also make sure the directory path to your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters(for example C:\Articulate).
• Avoid using special characters, accents or symbols in your file names.

If this behavior continues on multiple files, you may also want to conduct a repair of your Storyline software. 

Thank you!  The material I am importing from a power point presentation comes from a backup...might this be the problem?

Hi Paty,

It could be that something happened to that Powerpoint file - why are you using a back up copy? Do you not have the original? Also, you'll want to make sure that the ppt file is also on your local drive, not off of a network or USB drive.
