Including Javascript for repeating functionality
That sounds great Pete. The scormdriver in fact is a one-on-one copied file from Rustici. So i don't expect that one to change much. So im wondering about your workflow... how you trigger your WORD macro ? On publish ? This really inspires me to try it too... i can imagine eg. the background-audio trick to set up automagically on publish if someone wants it... Seeing quite some possibilities...
Also the dreaded Big Black Play Button can be continuously removed this way...

Nothing so clever as auto-initiated. Developers in our team publish from Storyline as normal, WITHOUT zipping, then open the WORD.DOCM file that has the macro and run it with a keypress.
The first thing the macro does is display a dialogue prompting to navigate to the project Storyline Output folder and then it's all automatic from there, including Zipping ready for LMS import.
So, really, this replaces the Zipping stage of Storyline's usual publish process - with the added benefit of injecting the custom JS code.

Suspected something like that... and indeed when you do need to zip the published content why not indeed do it like this... good solution.
@Articulate... wouldnot it be nice for us developers if we could have a customized option in the publish menu...where we can control the publish process like Pete does here..
Something like this...
A watch folder might be good too. Setup some watch folder on your teams drives...when a new folder is published there some automatic scripts process files and zip them...
For sure gonna do some experiments with this.
