Every time I've tried importing a PowerPoint, there is some issue. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what. But this time around, our design department created a slide design for a course in PowerPoint, and sent me the file to import into SL360. After importing, the text ends up severely misplaced. Is this a common issue? Any tips for successful importation? It's extremely frustrating especially when this is such a simple task.
Hi Brett! The slide size of your PowerPoint presentation is 10in width x 7.5in height, which converts to 960x720 pixels.
Before importing the PowerPoint presentation, you'll want to adjust the Story Size to 960x720.
I also noticed quite a bit of special paragraph formatting, like multiple font sizes in one text box, and custom line spacing. Those formatting selections did not carry over in the PowerPoint import, so I made those adjustments manually in the Storyline file.
Have a look at the new Storyline template I attached, and let me know if you see an improvement.

Hi Brett
have you set your story size before importing the ppt in?
I have set my story size.
Could you share a copy of the Powerpoint with us, Brett? Happy to test it out.
If you need to share privately feel free to send along to our Support team here.
Thanks so much, Ashley! I have attached the PPT design template.

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!! I'm slightly embarrassed that I did not catch that before.
This is a huge help. Thanks again!!!
No worries, Brett! It took me a while to figure it out myself, especially since PowerPoint is in inches and Storyline is in pixels. ☺️
Happy I could help!
