Storyline hangs when publishing to Word

Hi Michael!

The first thing to check is the location of the content. Make sure that the Storyline files you're trying to publish are local files. 

1.  Work on your local drive (your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, including file corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior. 

2. You should also make sure the directory path to your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters (for example C:\Articulate).

3.  Avoid using special characters, accents or symbols in your file names.

Additional information regarding "Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces" in Windows operating systems can be found in the following Microsoft article:

If you've confirmed the files are local, it might be related to content on a specific slide. Does the process hang randomly, or for a specific slide?

Thanks!
