    Hi JohannaDASIL642​,

    I'm happy to share that we've just released another update for Storyline 360!

    In Build 3.115.36688.0, we’ve included essential fixes and new features. One of the bugs we’ve fixed is:

    • The inability to copy/paste text directly from PowerPoint to Storyline.

     

    Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You can find our step-by-step instructions here.

    Please let us know if you need any additional help!

It sounds like you're selecting the entire text box in PPT, copying it, and then pasting it. That does paste it into Storyline as an SVG. 

You need to select the text within the text box in PPT, copy that, and then paste it into a text box or shape in Storyline. 

FYI: When you have text in the clipboard, the Paste button includes options for pasting: Use Destination Theme, Keep Source Formatting, or Keep Text Only.
