So sorry you're experiencing this issue with the export! To help you out, I did a quick Google search for: "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation Storyline" and found this thread.
From what I read, you can get this error when exporting a text-heavy Storyline 360 file to Word/numerous slides. I'd follow Katie's workaround:
Split the project into multiple parts by doing a Save As on the original .story file to reduce the number of slides
Export and translate the translation documents and then import them into the original .story file
A couple other things to keep in mind:
Make sure Word is closed. This will allow the export/import to run seamlessly- I found that tip from Ashley in this thread :)
Make sure Storyline 360 is up to date. You can check this by opening the desktop app, clicking the down arrow to the right of Storyline, then select other versions:
If you're running the latest version, you should see "installed" similar to the pic below:
I hope this helps you out! Please let me know. And if you feel you are still struggling, or this doesn't resolve your issue, please be sure to submit a case with the support team if you haven't already!
Hi Sanket - I have just encountered the same issue - looks like it has been an issue for at least 3 years. I am not sure splitting the project works as that could lead to all sorts of issues when getting the translation docs back in and trying to combine multiple files again. - did it work??
Sorry, you're running into this issue as well! I'd recommend reaching out to our Support Engineers so we can take a look at your project to determine the best approach. We'll let you know as soon as we receive your project!
As usual this is a client project this is not a project you need to look at as it is the same as all the others - this is an issue with in storyline when the project is over a number of screens - this can be deduced from all the other complaints.
At what point will this be fixed - it appears to have been going on for over 3 years.
From what I am looking at you could take any project over 50 or 60 screens long and encounter the issue. - surely as a development team you have test projects like this already
This feature fixes the issue where the error, 'Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation' appeared when exporting a text-heavy Storyline 360 file to Word.
To take advantage of this new feature and other fixes, make sure to update Storyline 360 in the Articulate 360 Desktop App. Here are the steps!
