How to Export Storyline 360 project to PowerPoint?

Hi, I would be grateful for any advice on how to export or convert an existing Articulate Storyline 360 project into a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation?  We use Articulate often but on an upcom...

Hi  Ben & Brett,

Thanks for looking through this thread.  I'm glad you could at least get the PDF extract.  I'm on Office 365 so can no longer export Storyline to Word as it's trying to save as a .doc instead of .docx file which is no longer supported.  (which is a different conversation thread with Articulate).  So this work around doesn't work for me any longer.  I'm no exporting everything as a translation file and then having to clean up the exported document in order to get something remotely useable for course reviews.  Having a better export function would be a game changer for us - and seems to be something Articulate needs to invest in if it wants to stay in the authoring game, as there are other tools out that provide this.

    Is this because of a recent update to Word? I am on Office 365 and it can open .doc files and save as .doc files. My first step is to open the Storyline produced .doc file in Word and save it to .docx.

      Hi Will, 

      we are running Microsoft 365 Enterprise and Windows 11 and it's happening for all of our team.  this thread below shows it's happening for others as well.  It could be organisation wide settings, as we have similar issues with opening old PPT rather than .pptx files.  .doc file types are legacy files and require conversion, however I get an error in Articulate if I try and download in that format.

        Yeah, I wonder if there is an administrator setting that turns off the ability to open/save legacy MS Office file formats. Maybe out of an abundance of caution, your Office administrator disabled them? Either way, the point stands that Articulate should update its export process to use .docx...
