Is there a way to save notes from Storyline to a text or Word file
Hi community.
I'm working on a project that requires the script to be developed in parallel to the visual content so it makes sense to do this by writing the script in the notes pane of Storyline.
The script then needs to be recorded in an off-site 3rd party professional studio and the audio bought back into Storyline.
The issue I have is that the studio doesn't have Storyline so I need to deliver a script to them in text form. Is there a way to avoid having to go through every one of the 100 or so slides to manually copy and paste the text from Storyline to an external document?

Hey Jamie!
If you publish to Word, the notes pane will appear at the bottom of each page / slide. Here's how to publish a Storyline project to a Microsoft Word document.
Will that work?
Thank you Peter for taking the time to talk to such a dummy! I looked all over the ribbon controls and the 'backstage' options for an export option plus searching the forum and never even considered the obvious publish button staring me in the face. What an idiot!
Thanks for the pointer - that does exactly what the studio needs
Enjoy your weekend with smarter folks!Awesome, Jamie! Glad that's exactly what you need.
And you've got a long way to go before unseating me as the resident idiot around here
Is there any way to save just the notes to a file? I'm in the same situation and I don't want to send all my slides to the recording studio... just the script.
Great question, Yvonne. There currently isn't an option that would only give you the notes. However, when you publish to Word, you can choose to include the notes or not - and then you could remove all the images/visuals of the slides themselves. And if this is something you'd like to see made available in the future, you are welcome to share your thoughts with our Product Team here via this Feature Request Form.
Just submitted the suggestion... thanks!
Another option is to click File > Translate > Export.
Then use Excel or Access to filter for rows containing "Note", or delete the extra rows by hand.
Thank you for this tip, I discovered it yesterday and think it is a great alternative since the information is already in a table format which is easy to manipulate.

Excellent tip, Walt! I had never heard of that solution before. Thanks for popping in to assist!
Brilliant solution, Walt!!! THANKS so much!!! I was looking at all the time it would take me to strip out all the slides and such, and so glad I took the two minutes to search and find this!
another options is to export to Word, select all, copy, paste as special/plain text.
that'll remove all pictures in ~3 seconds :)
