How to remove slide numbers
I imported a power point slide deck that had incorrect slide numbers.
They are all showing in Storyline. I'd like to either remove them or update them
Hello all!
Good news! In Storyline 360 (Build 3.85.31840.0), you can now instantly update the formatting of all slide notes in your project.
From here, all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app!
If you run into any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Support team in a support case.
Hi Jennifer:
Ether edit the slide numbers in PPT and re-import, or go into the Player dialogue (located in the op menu), select the Menu tab, and reset your menu.
You can also remove the slide numbers in the player options.
Best Regards,
Dennis Hall
Hi Jennifer,
In case you needed a bit more information about how to update the slide titles within the menu itself, I wanted to point you to this tutorial and I've copied the relevant portion below:
The titles you see on the menu default to the scene titles and slide titles that you assigned to your slides in Story View (or in the slide thumbnail list in Normal View). You can adjust the text here in the Player Properties manager if you like. Any changes you make will not affect the titles you see in Story View or Normal View when you're working on your course, nor will the changes affect any actual text you've entered on the slides themselves.
To change a scene title or slide title on the menu, double-click a title and enter a new name. Then press Enter on your keyboard.
The top post doesn't work for me. Resetting the menu still does not remove the PPT slide numbers. I already have audio in my slides in 360. Can I reimport and keep my audio like in Captivate refresh the PPT file? Otherwise I can't start all over and rerecord.
Hi Marc!
I'm happy to help! It sounds like you've imported a PowerPoint into Storyline. Some features aren't included when importing a PowerPoint into Storyline, and one of them is Slide Numbers. Would you mind sharing a screenshot of what Slide Numbers you're referring to?
If you want to remove the slide numbers in the Menu, then head over to the Player! Here's a quick look at these steps.
Lastly, audio should transfer over! I'm happy to take a look at your project and test it on my end.
I am trying to remove the slide numbering shown below. I don’t think the numbering is comping from Storyline menu as I have explored this opion. Maybe I’m wrong. Thinking of masking the number with a white box…
Hi Marc!
I'm happy to take a look! It looks like the image you shared was attached to an email. Can you add it to this discussion instead?
Hi Marc,
Thanks for sharing that you found a workaround, and we appreciate the feedback and insight into your testing.
Feel free to create a new discussion or reply back with any related questions you have!
What is the shortcut to Show Until End? This is a common feature, used often, and found in Captivate.
Hi Marc,
It looks like you may replying via e-mail, so I cannot see the image that you've shared here.
You can attach it directly to your reply within the forums:
- Can you explain what you are working on or hoping to accomplish?
When you add items to the slide in Storyline, the default for the items in the timeline is to 'Show Until End':
Can I dictate into Notes? No workaround like in Word copy paste.
Hi Marc,
Sure. Windows 10 now has a built-in dictation feature.
I just tested my Mac keyboard dictation into Parallels for Storyline 360 Notes and it works as expected as well.
Thanks for the dictation test.
Do you know how to refresh the PPT source files within Storyline? Captivate has a refresh icon. Reimporting an entire PPT is not a reasonable solution.
Hi Marc!
We don't currently offer a feature that refreshes the PowerPoint source file within Storyline.
If this is a feature you'd like our team to consider adding to Storyline, feel free to share your idea here!
Is there a way to adjust the Notes Properties all at once? Background color, Font and size?
Hi Marc,
There is not a way to adjust the Notes properties altogether, but we do have an active feature report for a global note setting. I'll be sure to add your plus one to the list!
Since this discussion started with slides numbers, feel free to create a new post for any additional unrelated questions.
