Word Export

Hi There, I am wanting to export about 90 of my storyline files to word documents. I have previously done this before with other files, and I am sure that the export included to text on the slide,...

Hi Peter,

The Publish to Word would capture the screen and accompanying notes but doesn't allow for editing of what's on the screen. Perhaps using that in conjunction with an export of the closed captions (from translation so that they're easily editable) would work? 

Also, using Review 360 is a great option to share with anyone who needs to sign off on the content and provide suggested edits on a slide by slide basis.

    Hi Ashley,

    Thanks for your response. My apologies about the long response . . . I'm new to the forums, and I thought I was sending you a private reply to the business case email I submitted yesterday separately from my forum post here. I've edited my response so that it's appropriate for the forum.

    For the purposes of this forum, what I am looking for is a workaround to include slide captions in the "print to Word" output document. I'm willing to use JavaScript to somehow access the caption objects or a Word macro to transfer the captions from a translation export into the course document.

    Ashley suggested 360 as a review alternative, and unfortunately we can't afford the license at this time. Also, some of our internal stakeholders require us to produce a final paper review copy for their records  after our course design is complete. At this point, an online review record, while wonderful in our team's minds is not yet acceptable for them.

    If anyone has some workaround ideas for this Word output situation, I'd be grateful for some help!

    Thanks,

     

    Peter
