How to Publish to Word without Installing Microsoft Word
Hi
Is there a way to publish a course using the word document feature within Storyline without having to purchase and install Microsoft Word on the computer?
I don't have Microsoft word installed on my computer. When I try to publish using the Word tab feature, I run it and nothing happens. I have Microsoft 365 installed on the computer but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
What are my options? Are there other word-processing apps that will be sufficient if installed on the computer like WPS or Libre Office?
Thanks for your help.

there are two functions that use MS Word
- Publish > Word
- File > Translation > Export to Word
do BOTH not work for you?
Hi Jurgen,
The export-to-word translation feature does work.
The publish to Word feature does not work.
Thanks much.
same happens on my test computer* (Windows 11 pro & MS Office 2019 Home)
export-to word: screen recording
cause: storyline searches the wrong registry keys for some (!?) word installations* on my main computer (Windows 10 Enterprise & MS Office 2019 Pro) storyline has no problem to find MS Word
