I'm trying to publish a training to Word for one of our clients to use as handouts. Some of the layered slides come out fine (I have the "Show Layers" checked) and others overlap with a previous layers making it unreadable. I don't feel I can give this version to the clients and need help solving this problem. I've attached an example to show the problem.
Have you tried adjusting your settings as described in this thread?
If you've already tried this and you're still having trouble with the layers overlapping, please share your .storyfile here. We'd be happy to take a look.
I have been selecting...not to print the layers and then go back and copy/paste the layers in the document. Is there a faster or more efficient way to handle this?
Did you check the other thread and idea shared there:
One suggestion would be to hide objects on the base layer. you can do this by opening up the properties (gears) of the layer and selecting hide objects on base layer. You will see a little icon to the right of the layer name. This is the gears. I just did a test and it worked when I viewed the Word document.
I tired this, but when I view the course, the background disappears. and for one of my slides, I need to show the check marks, to the user to let them know they have read that tab.
It sounds like the checkmarks are what you've set up to appear on the slide as the users progresses through, so I'm not sure if you're publishing to Word set up is for review or a way for a user to gather all the slides they've seen or visited? Perhaps you may want to share a bit more information in this thread or a new one and see if the community can offer ideas based on what you're looking to do.

I think for the Word review, I will remove that base layer information.
