Can I export a SL file as text?

Hi there - 

Lectora allows me to publish a Project as text (with screenshots) in a Word doc. SL allows me to export a Project for translation as a Word doc, but there is way too much info there - I just want the text that appears with each slide (with screenshots). Is there an easy way to do this? 

TIA -

    Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but the Storyline 'Publish' to Word facility does pretty much what you are asking for. The only slight complication I find when publishing to Word from Storyline is that some of the text is on Layers. You can include layers when publishing but the output does sometimes look a bit complicated:

  • Hi John - If you are misunderstanding, it's only because I haven't explained very well. Here's a page from a published-to-Word doc: 

    A similar example in Lectora, exported to Word: 

    I don't want a Word doc with screen shots pasted in; I want a Word doc with editable text. 

    Is this possible in StoryLine? 

    Thanks -

    I ensure that all the on-stage script is always included in the as a transcript in the notes pane, this will allow you to review and edit the text as you would in Powerpoint.
