Storyline 360 - PowerPoint import not working
"Failed to import PowerPoint presentation" - I built a 3-slide .pptx file, and Storyline 360 will not import it. I tried everything on the "Find out why here" link and it is still not working. HEL...
Hi Leslie;
I went through all the common reasons and tried *everything* - so far nothing's working. I would usually have PowerPoint *closed* when trying to import the file - for some reason it tries to start itself (unsuccessfully) when Storyline tries to import the file. I have uploaded images of the error message and the "buried" memory error window.
I have tried saving the PowerPoint deck into a 1997-2003 file format (.ppt instead of .pptx), but that still does not work.
One more interesting bit of information - I have access to Captivate 7. It gives me the same problems with importing a .pptx file, but it WORKS with a .ppt file. Since we use mostly Storyline, I would prefer to get this working, but if I have to, I guess I can use Captivate to build these modules.
