Power Point import
MRogers1: As I understand it, you want to import PPT slides and have them automatically transfer to another look, such as the Vigor theme. I don't know of any way to do that.
When you import slides from a PPT, from another Storyline project, or from the Content library, Storyline automatically imports the corresponding Slide Master(s).
When you have more than one Slide Master in a file, you can apply any layout from any Slide Master to any slide.
However, unless the slide has the same elements as the applied layout, you'll still have to make manual adjustments.
For example, if the slide has a Title placeholder and a Content placeholder, it's easy to apply another layout that also has those elements. But if there's not a 1-to-1 match, weird things can happen, and it could be a lot of work to fix the slide.
In other words, chances are you will need to make manual adjustments.
I think the easiest way to get what you want is to redo the Slide Masters in the PPT before you import the slides. I'd also then delete the original Slide Master from the Storyline line to avoid confusion when you're applying layouts.
Another option would be to edit the existing Slide Master in Storyline so it looks like what you want, and so it includes the same basic layouts as your PPT. Then import the PPT slides, and apply the layouts with the desired design.

Thank you Judy, I will look into adjusting the slide masters before importing. I am thinking that it may be easier just to rebuild in a sense, as there may be more to fix and additional frustration when the weird things happen. :) Going forward now that I have articulate, every build will be using the articulate, just the retro fitting will be a little time consuming.
