publishing to word on storyline on Mac with parallels
I am on a Mac with parallels, have word on the Mac and a windows version in parallels, but can't publish to word...In fact when I try the screen freezes and I have to do a forced quit. Have worked with my university IT folks and they can't figure it out. Help!

Sorry for this trouble, Jane!
Let's jump in with a few troubleshooting questions:
- Are you running a supported version of Word on Windows: Microsoft Word 2016 or 2019 (32-bit or 64-bit) or Microsoft Office 365 (desktop apps only).
- Are you publishing and saving to your local hard drive (typically your C: drive) rather than a network drive?
- Does this happen with every file you try to publish or just one?
- If it's one file, import the slides into a new project, and try publishing.
- If it happens with all files, try a quick repair.
Connect with us in a support case here if those tactics aren't helping so we can dig in deeper!

Thanks for the quick reply Becca,
I am using Office 365 and publishing to my machine. This has happened in multiple files where I have tried to publish. JS

hi
Have you found a solution to the word publishing problem ?
Hi Yosi,
I took a look at Jane's case and it appears it was related to some system settings she had specific to using a shared profile with her Mac/Windows environment.
I'd suggest you start by following the best practices outlined here for working within a Mac setup, and if you're still running into trouble go ahead and connect with our Support Team for some one on one help!
