Hey Steve,

If you have Adobe Illustrator, follow these steps: 

  1. Open, Import, or Create your vector graphic
  2. Choose File > Export...
  3. Format: Windows Metafile (WMF) - or- Enhanced Metafile (EMF)
  4. Save to a location you can have access from Storyline
  5. In Storyline: Insert > Picture > [select your new WMF or EMF file]

You can import the same file into PPT, too. While you can't edit the vector file in Storyline, you can edit it in PPT. Once in PPT:

  1. Select the image
  2. Ungroup > Say Yes > Ungroup again
  3. All of the individual shapes are not editable to change colors, size, or delete.

Hope that helps.
