Cannot import PowerPoint

I tried importing a PowerPoint presentation made with the latest version of Microsoft 365, but it failed. There was no warning or anything. It just didn't load. I then made a simple test by making a one page PowerPoint presentation contain just text, then trying to import that, and the same problem occurred.

Not sure what to do next, but I need this to work. Anyone?

  • Hi Jason,

    Can you "Save As" the PowerPoint file format .pptx to .ppt and then try to import it into storyline. I hope the issue will be resolved.

  • Jason, 

    I just tried to import a short group of slides following these steps.

    1 - File - New project

    2 - File - Import

    3 - PowerPoint

    Find the file and open it. It finds all the slides and highlights them. Make sure you select the "Select All" option in the upper right. 

    4 - Click on Import.

    If they are not coming in. I would put in a ticket to Articulate.

    Good luck

  • Hello - I've been experiencing similar. I shut down and restarted SL and PPT. Still the same. The criteria mentioned in the article do not apply.
