Publishing in Word won't work FRUSTRATING!

Hi Heroes,
I have seen previous posts about this problem, and mine still hasn't worked. But it worked before. I unchecked the "file conversion" option and it still does not work.
I am running SL 1 (Update 8), Win 8.1, Word 2013.
I publish a project to Word, and it seems to make the slides (progress bar, etc.). Then it says it was successful. When I push the "view File" button, nothing happens, it turns blue, like I pushed it, but word doesn't open. Also, when I go to the directory, there is no word file there.
What happened? I need to be able to do this for some certifications I am working on.
Thank you!
Best,
Robert

Okay, I answered my own question and solved it, but it might be instructive for others.
1. I tried another project and it published in Word just fine.
2. I went back to the project that wasn't publishing and imported it into a new project.
3. It published fine.
Not sure what the problem was, or is, but I created a work around for it. It is fine now.
Hope that helps others in a similar boat.
Best,
Robert
Hi Robert!
Glad that you were able to get this figured out and I appreciate you sharing your solution and update with the community :)
Hi Robert,
I had this same problem so searched for an answer and came across your question. I tried importing it into a new project and it did work but I lost all the formatting so I had to re-import into a previous template. However, I re-imported one project and it still wouldn't publish to word so I changed my save location to desktop and that worked fine, then I just renamed and moved the folder. I did read somewhere else that you have to publish to a local file but I've published plenty to my network and they worked except for a few. Just thought you might like to know this quicker and easier work around.
Regards,
Richard
Thread is a bit dated, but thanks for popping in to share Richard. Articulate does not support working or publishing to a network drive for anyone following along.
Hi all
I have been having these issues too and today I tried something new that worked. It may just be a fluke, but i named my file with _ between each word, eg. Test_Document.
It might be worth a try!
