Powerpoint text boxes converted to images

When I import a PPoint deck into a Storyline project, all textboxes get converted to images meaning I cannot edit them. The text boxes are not grouped but they do have transitions. Any ideas? T...

Hi Mo!

It doesn't look like El responded, but a text box showing up as an image isn't the expected behavior. I've tested this on my end, and I see the textboxes appear as text boxes when importing a PowerPoint into Storyline 360 (Build 3.50.24668.0). 

Which version of Storyline are you using? Also, do all of the text boxes display as images or just some?

With your permission, I'd like our team to take a look at the PowerPoint slide. Would you mind sharing it with us in a support case?

    Hi Lauren,

    Thank you for your reply and apologies for my delayed response.

    I'm very new to Articulate, so not sure what I was doing but it seems to be working OK now with the text boxes imported from PowerPoint.

    I am however very stuck on trying to do a software simulation and can't seem to find any videos that are relevant to exactly what I am trying to do. It is an old software I'm simulating as well so not sure if Articulate is capable of simulating that. Is there a contact I can reach out to for support. I am happy to do screen shares and demonstrate what I am trying to achieve, unfortunately I am not permitted to share any company material in email or upload to an external site. My team is pushing me towards Captivate for the simulations but I'm a bit reluctant to do that right now.

    Thanks
    Kind Regards
