Change Notes font when publishing to Word
I've tried to find an answer for this, but no luck so far.
When I publish a course to Word from Storyline 360, even though I have the notes set up as Calibri 11 using the Normal text style, in the Word document, they come out as Open Sans 8, which is way too small.
So far, I've adjusted the fonts in the player, and adjusted the Normal Text style. It looks great on screen, but once published to Word, back to Open Sans 8. I've been manually updating the text, but that's time intensive since Articulate also exports all notes, regardless of formatting as "Normal" meaning there's no easy way to update it once in Word.
I'm hoping there's something I missing because this is a huge time sink for me.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi RichardHailey-4,
Sorry to hear that you ran into this issue.
We are currently tracking a known bug that causes the formatting in the notes section not to get applied when a Storyline 360 course is published to Word. I've added this community thread to the report so we can notify you as soon as a fix is released!
Is there an ETA on when the fix will be released? I have a large Storyline file with lots of redlines in the script and now I have to manually go through the word document to edit in the redlines.
Hi SandraStocks-e6!
Sorry to hear you've also encountered this issue when publishing from Storyline to Word!
While I can't speak to a timeline of when this bug will be fixed, I've included your voice in the bug report we are currently tracking. Also, for your reference, this article goes into further detail on how we tackle bugs.
Thank you for your patience. I'm sorry if this has been slowing you down!
My company just took away access to MS Office 360... so I was publishing to Word (which I couldn't open), and dropping the .docx file into Google, then saving as Google Doc. Works, but... none of the text in the Notes section comes across!? Maddening. I need this to work so clients can review ol courses and mark them up for me to make updates. Anyone else have this issue or know a fix? *EDIT: IS there any chance Storyline could be updated to fix this issue? It would be nice to be able to export to another format, for folks who don't have access to Word...
A simple workaround would be to use this option in MS Word. Keep your mouse pointer on any text with Open Sans 8 and follow this:
Home > Editing > Select > Select Text with Similar Formatting
Then from Font Group in Home tab, select your desired font style and size.
