Locating an object using the Object ID#
When you export a translation to word each object with a text string is given an object ID number. Does anyone know if you can locate an object using a that number?
do you want to delete all custom ALT text entries or should some survive?
I would like to delete them.
Since you want to delete all of them, the solution is much easier.
If you want to do it manually, you can do the following:
1. Make a copy of your course (or template) and then change .story to .zip.
2. Open the zip folder.
3. Extract each slide.xml file, open them with a text editor, and then find the alt tags and then remove the text between the quotation marks " ".
4. Save each xml file and then bring them back to the zip file.
5. Change the extension back to .story
Manually, this will still take a lot of time - you could speed it up with other tools that do global search and replace for example.
Jürgen may have some additional ideas here and I have some other ideas if you would like to discuss privately, please send me a private message here or reach out to me on LinkedIn.

Thanks Thor, That's a pretty good solution. I will give it a try. :)
