A niche(?) problem with Presenter
Hello - i'm at a loss with my ongoing, sporadic issue and need some help. - The situation.. I recieve a PowerPoint file from another team, I then sort out the formatting, change any settings such as language, add a quizmaker file, then I publish it to a scorm via the Articulate add-on. (SCORM 2004, version 1.2 for those interested), then it's uploaded to our LMS. We have to do this because we need to track that people are reading the content, so not doing this is non-negotiable, and it took too long on storyline as we had to move everything across manually. - The problem Sometimes, during the publishing process, something will go wrong. The formatting will drop out, words will disappear, sometimes the language will change.. there's no telling what presentation will do this, and I never know why. I sometimes have to re-publish four or five times before it's correct (and it takes atleast 20 minutes each time). Today is a good example. My colleague (who has previously not had issues) went to publish a presentation in Japanese, and the final output removed 80%+ of the Japanese characters. I tried it on one of my two laptops and also experienced the problem, yet on my other laptop it was absolutely fine. - What i've tried & my question I've uninstalled and reinstalled Articulate numerous times, I got a faster laptop, more memory.. I've contacted Articulate who ask me to publish from my local drive (which I already do), and that's where their support ends - i've had my companies IT team almost try to rip apart and analyse the 'malfunctioning' presentations and they can't find anything - so now i'm asking you! Do you have any idea what the problem could be? Do the presentations need to be built in a very specific way for Articulate to like them every time, is the Articulate add-on just unreliable and I need to look at another programme? Is there something support, or my IT team is missing? When this issue occurs it wastes so much time and is incredibly frustrating so i'd appreciate any advice. Sadly I can't share any of the files due to the nature of the business.13Views0likes5CommentsHighlighted text disappears on preview
Greetings: I hope you can help us with the following: Highlighted text shows fine while editing a slide, but disappears on the preview (and the final file). Sharing screenshots. It's a system running Windows 10 Pro 20h2, Microsoft Office 365 and Articulate 360. All system drivers, mentioned programs and the O.S. are fully updated. I couldn't find any similar problems listed so I decided to create a new discussion. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologize in advance for my grammar. English is my second language.12Views0likes3CommentsRestricted navigation not working properly using menu
Hello, I am struggling with this problem when publishing SCORM objects using Restricted navigation. When resuming, user can't navigate through slides already viewed using the menu. When clicking on a slide that has been viewed before closing the SCORM, the "You may only view slides you already viewed" notification pops up. For example, considering the SCORM attached for testing, if the object is closed while on slide 4 (then it means slides 1, 2 and 3 have been already viewed, since the navigation is set to Restricted), when resuming it goes back correctly on slide 4, but it seems like slides 1, 2 and 3 have not been viewed, they are even displayed like that on the menu (a slide already navigated should be displayed in light grey). Navigation works correctly using the PREV button though. I know a possible work-around could be to tell our users that if they need to navigate back they can only use the PREV button, but I would like to understand why the SCORM navigation is not working correctly. I am using Articulate Presenter add-on for Power Point, default player (I only set Restricted Navigation), all updated to last release. The attached SCORM can be used for some testing by anyone who can help me fix this problem.13Views0likes2Comments360 Studio Audio Files - Different Volume for Each Slide
I published my course to Review 360 and the course audio varies in volume on different slides. I suspect that the person who recorded the audio for my course did it on different days so the volume is different. Is there a way I can adjust the volume in the course for all slides at the same time vs trying to adjust the volume on each slide? Thank you.4Views0likes0CommentsGetting Error while publishing

Hello, Is it possible for a module that is created using Presenter 360 and uploaded to Moodle to have some sort of option to go full screen? If that's not possible, what would be best player settings be when publishing in Presenter and then what settings in Moodle? We just can't have any sliders on the side to move the player stage in Moodle left/right/up/down. Any thoughts? Many thanks! Dave1View0likes1CommentPublishing Slides in Spanish
Hello, I am trying to accurately publish a presentation that is done in Spanish. I have gone to start-control panel-region &language- and installed "Europe", but this still doesn't give me the ability to write/type in the correct characters. I am unable to publish the slides that the instructor sent to me accurately. How can I get these slides to publish accurately without having to go through a third-party translator/publisher?0Views0likes1CommentPresenter 360
Hello, I'm currently working on a PowerPoint for my finance group. They want to narrate some slides, but also add video from three of the leaders before the PowerPoint kicks off and narration starts. I have 3 videos ready to go, however, can you make them continuously run from one video to the next on the same PowerPoint slide? Or do I need to put each video on it's one slide? I'd prefer to have them on one slide, but if not possible, I may have to have them record all together.. Please advise.1View0likes7Comments
