One of my clients uses their content in my Storyline formats, but also needs updates in PowerPoint and PDF formats for compliance audits. I receive update information in PowerPoint slides.
Is there any way I can paste those slides as units into an existing Storyline file? While Storyline is great, I have trouble getting the same results as I do when initially importing a deck of slides from the opening Storyline screen.
You could paste the content into Storyline, but I would strongly suggest you avoid doing this. Pasting content into Storyline is not a great idea, especially from a PowerPoint presentation. I've seen some really strange results from copied/pasted material and it has lead to file corruption in some cases. It might be best to be safe and import the content, the arrange it after it has been inserted.
Here's some resources you might want to keep handy:
Also, if your PowerPoint slides are simple updates and don't contain any interactions, maybe you could insert screenshots of the content. Just a thought that may hopefully save you some time :)
