Importing Powerpoint

Hi Holly and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! Importing Powerpoint into Storyline is not a one-to-one conversion and you can read more about that here.

Hi Holly,

Welcome to Heroes! Importing a PowerPoint into Storyline isn't an exact one-to-one conversion. Take a look at these threads for more information:

- Things to Consider When Importing a PowerPoint

- PowerPoint Text Doesn't Look the Same

Let me know if you have any additional questions. If you wish, you can submit a Support Case, and we'll be glad to take a closer look.

Always Happy to Help,

Adrian

Thanks Leslie!

Thanks Adrian! One thing I don't understand is that characters are added in my import. I understand that if the bullets  you are importing aren't compatible with storyline then they will appear differently; however, on some of my slides, additional bullets have been added. Any thoughts as to why that would happen?

Hi Holly,

We would have to take a look at the files to be sure. If you could use the link above in my post to submit a support case, we'll be glad to figure out what is happening.

When importing my Powerpoint into Articulate, my pictures and characters are not coming over. It was at first now it is not. I have saved another instance of the powerpoint as I thought the file was corrupted, but still no luck. Any thoughts?

Hi Renetta, 

What version of Powerpoint and Storyline are you using? Were the characters a part of the Articulate suite of Characters? You mentioned thinking the file was corrupt - did you follow these best practices when working with Storyline files (and the other files you're importing)? 

If you want to share a copy of the Powerpoint file I'm happy to take a look and test it out as well!
