We use custom bullet characters and indentation. All of this is stripped out by Storyline when I import one of our PowerPoint presentations. Bullets become default black dots. Indentation gets messed up, especially on sub bullets. I cannot find a way to have Storyline use our bullets. This violates our corporate publication standards so is a show stopper.
Perhaps you could turn the graphics into a TrueType font, then bring them in that way as custom bullets. Storyline stores Flash-based builds' font sets into a data repository file called "fonts.swf", so I'd hope to assume that Storyline would embed any needed fonts into this file for reference. (?) I'm not sure how an HTML5 build is handled with custom fonts.

Hi Jason and Welcome to the community! How are those custom bullets created in PowerPoint? Are they images or a font character/symbol?
Hi Mike
They are images.
Thanks Jason. Unfortunately, for now the only way to get them into Storyline is to insert them as a separate image and manually align them.
Wow. That's hundreds of bullets on dozens of slides times dozens of presentations and courses. Not your fault Mike, but goodbye Storyline.
