powerpoint gets distorted

Hi, I'm using the trial version of Articulate and when I import the slides from the powerpoint they get distorted.  Is that because of the trial version? Can I do something to fix it?

Hi Mariana and Daria,

If they're out of place, the first thing I would do is check your DPI. It may be a simple solution, versus having to change the positions and font styles.

Articulate Storyline will function as expected when Windows is set to 96 DPI (dots per inch).

Articulate Storyline doesn't currently support 120 DPI. If your system is set to 120 DPI, you may experience erratic behavior, such as:

  • Elements of the application are misplaced or distorted.
  • Objects are misplaced or distorted when previewed or published.
  • Zoomed images don't work as expected.
  • Font sizes are incorrect after using the translation features.

Here's how to switch to 96 DPI

@Daria,

If that doesn't help, you could try using a font like Arial or Articulate and see if that makes a difference. 

Let me know how it goes :)

Thanks!
