Problems importing Powerpoint into Articulate Storyline

Exception during Import Powerpoint: The given key was not present in the dictionary.   Can anyone help? Or have any idea what this could mean?

Hi all- Thank you for this thread as I just encountered this error and was grateful to see it was not just me!  (And within an hour of successfully importing another PPT into SL360, so I was sure it wasn't an issue with either program.)

After much trial and error, I realized it was only select slides causing the import error (similar to what Jennifer shared), and those slides did use the same slide master in PPT.  I am not 100% certain what, exactly, on that slide master created issues, but I was able to successfully import all of the PPT slides into SL360 after assigning a new slide layout (from a different master) to those troublesome slides.  Maybe worth a try for those looking for other options.

Painful when you are required to use a corporate branded PowerPoint template. 

I'm experiencing this issue but for me, I don't get an error, the application just hangs on the importing slides notification after selecting slides for import.
