ppt

forgot to add

what it i i take my 97 version off my computer.. does articulate need the application ito be present somewhere on my computer?

why can't we insert standalone versions of the presentation without having a need for the software?

oops- the files are written on 2010 ppt application and not 2003

I can't see a reason why you would need any version of PowerPoint installed on your machine as Storyline is surely just going to import the file itself.

Somebody else may be able to help re import error.

Hi Roma,

First, you will need to have a supported version of Powerpoint install to import into Storyline. Also, you'll see described here that if you have an older version of PPT and you're trying to import one created in a newer version you could receive that error. You'll want to follow the instructions in the article to download the compatibility  pack. 

hi ashley- thank you for your response

however, i am not understanding- this is a 2010 ppt standalone file- all i am trying to do is import it into storyline

just so that i understand this, i need to have an updated ppt version of the application on my computer?  THis file came from my twin who has 2010

Is storyline hooking up on my computer to the older version? i thought import did not have any relevency to the current application on my computer..

If the file is a 2010 file, i have never opened it in my version of ppt, storyline will not import unless i have a current version of ppt?

hi siman- thanks for your response.. that is what i thought..

Hi Roma,

If you're looking to insert a Powerpoint 2010 file into Storyline, but you only have Powerpoint 97 that would cause the error for a few reasons (one, it's not a supported version of Powerpoint, and two the Powerpoint 97 and 2010 versions don't match). You'll need to update to a supported version and then try to import again. If you're still having difficulty please let us know how it behaved after testing out the troubleshooting steps mentioned here.
