Hi there. I am very new to Articulate, and I am trying to publish my PowerPoint 2010 presentation to an Articulate LMS or even just a standard-issue Corporate Communication (template). Two questions:
1. In my PowerPoint presentation, I have a master slide setup with navigation bars on the edge using PowerPoint Actions. However, I am unable to get the PowerPoint Actions to work in Articulate publication. Is the Action feature supported in Articulate? If not, how can i duplicate the feature in Articulate?
2. On one slide, I have an embedded web link to a YouTube video, and it works great on PowerPoint. No workee in Articulate (just a blank, black box). How can I recreate this in Articulate?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi George
powerpoint actions dont translate to our published output, have you embedded the youtube video as a web object (on articulate menu)?
Phil
sorry should have read your published output
Thanks. I will have to eliminate the PowerPoint actions. I wonder if future version of Articulate will support this PowerPoint feature.
It looks like embedded web HTML link does not work in Articulate, only the URL to the video site itself. For example, the video I am trying to embed in my Presentation is on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYvTJnWrH2Q
But that shows the actual YouTube web page with comments, etc. The video itself is at (embed HTML):
In PowerPoint, I can just put the "embed HTML" and only the video shows, not the comments or other YouTube stuff.
George,
Go to the Youtube video on the Youtube page. Put your mouse over the video and right click. Select Pop out. Copy the URL in the Pop Out window. Use that in your web object URL. That will play the webobject without all of the additional Youtube page info.
Hope that helps.
Thank you. That worked. Of course, I tried every option except that
No prob. We help each other in here
I have an issue with an embedded link also. Once I am out to my link, how do I get back to my course/presentaiton?
