Not possible to import PPT files in storyline.

Mar 22, 2021

Hello, 

One of my colleague is trying to import a PPT file in storyline 3. She receives a error every time (see attechments).

Here computer settings are set in Russian. Is this the problem?  So yes how we can solve this problem. If no, please help me.

Hi, Arjan,

Thank you for reaching out, and I am sorry to hear your colleague is having issues importing a Powerpoint file into Storyline. I have a few questions to help narrow down the problem:

  • Is she working with local files (on her computer hard drive) or on a network drive?
  • Is this error message happening on a specific file or every time she tries to import from Powerpoint?

A few people with a similar issue have had success by copying the slides from the original presentation into another Powerpoint file before importing them into Storyline. If that doesn't work for her, I'd recommend opening a support case to dig deeper into what is happening.
