Struggle with using a .storytemplate-file
Oct 10, 2017
Dear all,
a colleague of mine created a .storytemplate-file (from an initial story.file and not by using teamslides). I have problems in opening the .storytemplate-file; it doesn't work at all. I attach the error message i received.
I tried to open the .storytemplate-file on another computer and it works without any problems. I think the problem stays with my computer or is related to my storyline-settings. Is that possbile? Has anyone experience with a same or similar problem and could help?
I am also confused about the error message: the heading says "exception with power-point import" but, I tried nothing with using power point.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best, Katja

Hello Katja!
Sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with using a template file. I'd love to help you out with that.
Are you saving the file locally and then importing as the documentation here instructs?
Hello Leslie,
thanks for your response. Meanwhile I could solve the problem on my own. My local hard drive did not has enough capacity to save the .storytemplate-file on the "Storyline Templates"-folder that is automatically created when opening a template. At least this was my explanation and after cleaning my local hard drive it works.
But, anyway thanks for your response, which i really appreciated.
Glad you were able to get this resolved Katja and I certainly appreciate you popping back in with an update and sharing with the community :)
Hello,
I have another issue with a storytemplate. I prepared a nice template with variables used in a resultslide.
When the client opened the project, the variables were not available anymore.
I found a workaround by importing another resultslide from the content library which had the variables but it was very time consuming.
Did anybody observe similar behavior?
Hi Claudia!
I'm not familiar with an issue related to your description.
Do you have a .story file you would like us to take a look at?
