Export to Powerpoint from Storyline

Hi guys,

I have a Storyline project that I would like to be able to edit in Powerpoint - is there a way that is possible?  I know going Powerpoint to Storyline is fine, but what about the other way?

I have tried copying and pasting slides, tried copying all elements on a slide and pasting... but no luck!

Really need help PLEASE!

  • Here's a tip. If you publish to Word, then save the doc as a .docx, you can unzip that document, and you will find that all the slide images will be in a folder in .jpeg format in this directory: Word > media

      Scott, I am not sure I understand how to execute your tip.  When I publish to Word, I get a .doc file.  I then open that file with MS Word and save it as a .docx by using the Compatibility mode conversion button.  Where is the zip file you are talking about unzipping?  Looks like I am missing a step in your tip.

        Victor,

        You have to manually change the docx to zip. open file explorer, and set the extensions to visible. i think in 8, you need to right click the folder and choose properties. In 10, select the folder and the file ribbon has an check box for File name extensions.

        I think it will work with a doc file, too, but the structure of a doc may be slightly different.

        Since the beginning, Word (and Storyline) documents have always been zipped documents with a proprietary  extension.

    Just to jump in here with the support to be able to export as a PPT... While I know how to use Storyline and present with it, I work with PhDs who are not savvy with the tech and really need something which can be hosted on their own computers which I can email.  I know I can send all of the files for download, but even that is pretty complicated for them. 

  • Just thought I’d share this tip I learned yesterday. When developing an elearning course that will be paired with a classroom training, for example when developing blended learning, and if you have a 360 subscription, develop your course in Studio 360. That way you can share your PowerPoint slides with the classroom trainer and have a consistent theme. 

  • Thanks, Melanie for sharing that tip here. I'm sure it'll help someone else in the future! 

  • Hi,

    Thanks to this long log. I found a way to answer my question.

    1. Export to CD

    2. Navigate to mobile

    3. find the jpg files

    4. Import shots to PowerPoint.

      Ivy, that method will provide you with the individual images used in the course. 

      Here's my process to get screencaps of each slide:

      1. Publish to Word
      2. Convert the .doc to .docx
      3. Unzip the .docx file.
      4. All the slide images will be in the Word > Media folder.

      I often have to make PowerPoint versions of eLearning for audiences without access to our LMS, and this is an easy way to do it.

  • Would you be ok with a pdf to present with?  you could export from SL to Word.  Pick option that you want large picture with no comments, then change to horizontal layout and do a select all to center image on all pages.  Then save as pdf.  Open pdf and using next page key to go thru the pages/slides.

  • Hi there, I know this is an old thread, suggestion in the Articulate Ribbon in PPT it would be great to select the 'Storyline slides' saved as template from the Content Library. This could be one way to import ones Storyline slides in PPT. 

    Best
