Storyline hangs when publishing to Word
Christine,
I figured out what's happening, and I got it to work.
The problem is this: The Publish dialog box in Storyline is hanging because the process triggers a Save File dialog box in Word to pop up. Despite giving the file to be published a name and location within Storyline, Word is asking for the same thing, but Word's dialog box pops up behind/underneath Storyline. I found this out by using Alt+Tab, because I had the Storyline window maximized and the Windows toolbar hidden.
It seems that there is work to be done to make Storyline interact properly with either Windows 8, or Word 2010, or both.
FYI, I was publishing to my local folder that syncs with Google Drive (Docs), so that wasn't a factor.
Hi Christine, thank you for your post. This problem had been bothering for several days, and the solution was as simple as using alt-tab and selecting the conversion dialog that appears in word. For others, I was using Storyline update 11 with Word 2016.
