Importing PowerPoint slides into SL 360 but images do not import

Firstly, is SL 360 the right Articulate product to convert a set of PowerPoint slides into a training object? Secondly, when I import the slides, I don't get any of the images, just the text - am I...

I suggest you review these articles:

From what I have been able to learn about the history of StoryLine, yes, I would think that SL360 is the best platform for converting PowerPoint decks into training objects. 

You could also use Rise, as explained here: How to Turn PowerPoint Slides into Engaging Rise 360 Courses | Articulate - Community 

When the images do not import, it could be a number of issues. I would start with ensuring that you are working from your local drive (C:\Documents\My Articulate Projects...) not a OneDrive or shared network location. So move your PPT(x) file to the same directory location. 

It could also be that you are experiencing some effect of the current AWS outage that has brought the commercial online world to its knees... So reboot, restart the program, and try again.

And it could be that the images in the PPTx file are linked, not directly embedded. (I've seen that happen before.)
