This is happening when I try to open PowerPoint...

May 24, 2022

I recently have been getting this message when I open PowerPoint:

"Sorry, for some reason PowerPoint couldn't load the C:\Program Files (x86)\Articulate\360\Studio\articulate.pppam add-in."

I have no idea what this means. Can any help?

Hi Carrie,

Do you have the Articulate add-in already enabled for PowerPoint? This is a requirement to run Presenter 360 properly with PowerPoint, and if you haven't done so yet, this article explains how to enable this add-in

If enabling the add-in doesn't help, reach out to your IT staff and have them add the 'articulate.ppam' file in your organization's allowlist to prevent it from being falsely tagged as malicious and blocked from being accessed by the application. The directory where the file is stored is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Articulate\360\Studio\articulate.ppam
