Slides in Story view layering on top of one another

Aug 08, 2012

While viewing my presentation in story view, two different slides occupy the same space. I don't know why it started doing it, and I can't seem to undo it or find a way to access the slides without worrying about buggering up the navigation I've set up. Any ideas?

Hi  Peter

I am having the same problem.  I have several slides layered on top of each other.  Have tried breaking the links between slides and the re-establishing them, dragging one of the layered slides to both an adjacent position and also to a position better related to a linked slide; but the slide refuses to stay moved.  It has occurred in several scenes so does not seem to be related to one particular slide.  My project contains many images and screenshots and even as a W.I.P. has reached 54MB so sending a copy my not be practical.

Hi Wendy

Thanks for your response.  I have attached a snip of what Story View looks like with the slider set for maximum size.  Closing and re-opening SL2 doesn't resolve it and the overlap happens on exactly the same slides each time I open my project.  The scene where the attached example is happening has around 35 slides in it.  It doesn't affect a published version so it is really just a project build pain.

Hi Wendy

Importing the scene into a new project displayed the scene correctly in the new project.  So I then copied and pasted (duplicated) the scene into the original project.  The new scene also now displays correctly.  I might try and move the scene links from the original scene to the new scene so I can delete the original.  Hopefully the problem will stay away as well!

Your help is appreciated, you put me onto a 'repair' course so thanks for this.
