PowerPoint Import Issue Into Storyline

Mar 25, 2021

I created slides in PowerPoint and had everything laid out nicely into a 16:9 slide...I then imported into those slides into Storyline and all the text and boxes did not fit correctly, the boxes I had created didn't fit on the slide and text was going off the screen. The Storyline file is also 16:9...the text and sizes are the same in both the PowerPoint and Storyline file. Does anyone know how to fix this issue without me having to make the text smaller and reformatting everything or why it's happening?

Hello Ashley and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊

Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing in your project file.

Did you set the story size to 16:9 prior to importing your PowerPoint slides or after? You'd want to set the size prior to importing.

With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file (both .ppt and .story file) to investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.
