Storyline 360 Publish to Word 2013 Not Working
I am trying to publish my project to word to send to our team to review. It acts like it is publishing to word and gives the message that it has been successful, however, no document is created. Is anyone else having that issue?

I'm getting this behavior as well, but only with certain projects and not others. I get the progress bar, and the 'Congratulations' message, but when I click View Document nothing happens. When I click Open, it opens the folder and there's nothing inside.
Hi Ed!
Thanks for letting us know that the Publish to Word feature works with some projects and not others -- that's a good clue. Are all of your project files saved to your local hard drive? Are you able to share one of those troublesome files with our team for testing?

I am having the same issue. I cannot get it Articulate 360 to publish a word document. Is this issue fixed? The posting is 12 months old. I need to be able to do this now. Please let me know.
I am using Articulate 360 V3.22.17236.0
Thank you,
LaVon
Hi there, LaVon. Sorry you've come across this roadblock. Let's see if we can find a trend here:
- Is this issue happening with multiple project files or a particular one?
- Are your courses saved on a local hard drive?
I see you also opened a support case (brilliant move!) where my teammate, Gerald, is ready to dig into a troublesome .story file. Here's the unique upload link from your case to share it privately with him. We're both standing by, and I'll also follow along in your case!

Hi,
Thank you for the quick response.I slept on it and remembered the issue you can have if the path is too long. I republished using a shortened path and that was indeed my problem. I have been successful, PROBLEM SOLVED.
Thank you so much for being there. I will not always be able to figure out what I am doing wrong. Happy to know you are standing by. Love ARTICULATE and the Articulate team that supports me.
My best wishes to all of you! Happy Holidays!
LaVon
I'm so happy to hear you're back up and running LaVon and thank you for the kind words about the Articulate team. I'll be sure to share them. 💚
Happy Holidays to you as well!

Hi, I'm having the same trouble publishing a word document. I'm using the lastest version of Storyline with the latest updates.
I've created a sample file with 2 slides. There is nothing in the output file folder after publishing. Any ideas?
Note: Have tried both local hard drive and USB but there is no output file even with short file path name. other publishing features are fine.
Hi Anjela!
When you publish for Word, does the publishing process complete? If so, you should see a blue button that says "View Document." This button opens your Word document, so you can view, edit, and print it.
What happens when you click that blue button?

Hi,
The publishing process completes but when I press the blue button - nothing happens. When I press 'Open' to look in the file location the folder is empty.
I've tried shortening the file path to a local hard drive, but this doesn't work either. I'm having difficulty with large Articulate files as well as test courses with only 2 slides in them. Any advice?
Hi Anjela,
Thanks for those additional details. What version of Storyline are you using? Also, what version of Microsoft Office is installed on your computer?
- AnjelaCurrie-57Community Member
Hi,
I'm using Storyline version v3.23.17522.0 and Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus Version 1708.
I'm assuming this isn't a problem with the company firewall as the Storyline file will publish correctly for LMS, Web etc.
Good morning, Anjela. Thanks for working through this mystery with us!
Is your Microsoft Office version installed to your local computer, or is it a web app? Storyline 360 works with 32-bit and 64-bit desktop versions of Office 2010 and later, but it isn't compatible with:
- Office 365 web apps
- Office 365 mobile apps
- Click-to-run versions of Office 2010
If the application is installed locally and you're unable to publish any .story files to Word, a simple Storyline 360 repair should do the trick. Let us know, and we'll figure out next steps from there!

Hi,
My version of Office is stored locally. I've tried the quick fix of uninstalling and re-installing Articulate and this hasn't helped with the issue.
Here is the version details for Microsoft:

The output folder is always empty.Many thanks,
Anje
