Importing PowerPoint into Storyline

Never had this issue before. When I import this one particular PPT into Storyline the slide numbers disappear and bizarrely things that were not highlighted in the PPT are highlighted in Storyline. I am not the creator of the PPT file. I am trying to understand why it's not transferring over correctly. Any thoughts?

  • I am assuming it is only happening with this PPT deck.  Is it a deck you can share?

      Yes, it is. I can ask if it's okay to share since it's not my content. I just want to make sure.

        Hi, paulinanicolaid!

        I'm happy to help. When you import PowerPoint slides into Storyline, most features will work as expected, but some will work differently, and some aren't supported at all. Slides numbers won't be imported into Storyline. This may be why you're seeing an issue with the highlighting as well, but as RonPrice suggested, it would be helpful to take a look at your file. If you prefer to share it privately with our team, you can do so in a support case. We'll delete it from our systems once troubleshooting is complete.

        In the meantime, here are some tips for importing PowerPoint slides into Storyline. This article also includes the list of features that may be impacted.

        I hope this helps!
