Unable to export word files
Hi,
I'm having issues of exporting word files, when I start them it shows the pop up box of it loading and working, and will end quickly with a blank error message box.
I can publish normal word documents fine, but having an issue with this. if anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mario

Hi Christie, I've followed the instructions and I still seem to have the same issue, it exported 1 file when articulate reinstalled and was having the same issue again with other files

Hi, it's not just 1 file it's them all, I've found a way to export a word file however it requires me to restart my PC after each file I export or else the next module I try seems to crash, Thank you for the link I will be getting in contact with them :)

Hello Christie,
I experienced the same issue Mario had. I closed AS and restarted my laptop. The export function "works" now but I have a different problem instead; the font size is smaller in the exported file. Original size is 12 or 14 but the font on the exported Word file is 9. Both word export formats show the same error. Please see attached files . Please help
Hi Arnold and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
This thread is a bit dated.
Originally you had the issue Mario reported, of a failed export, and now you are having a different one it looks like - and not one that I'm familiar with.
- What version of Storyline are you using?
- Are you exporting for translation? Is the font correct when you re-import?
- Would you be able to share your .story file so that we can take a look?

Hello Leslie,
Here are my answers:
1) Version 2 UPDATE 4 (I can't update yet)
2) Yes, for translation. I have not sent the file for translation yet since I am afraid when I import the translated file I will have all the font sizes messed up (as they are in the exported doc).
3) I kinda already did that. I contacted Technical support. See info below dotted line.
I will appreciate any help you may give me.
Arnold

Hi Arnold
I know you say you can't update but there have been bug fixes for the translation function in Updates 5 and 8 that may fix your issue.
Here are the release notes for SL2
Thanks for the details Arnold. I'll take a look and respond via your support case :)
