"Send to Articulate Package" Problem?
Hi!
One of developers at one of our plants is trying to send me me an Articulate Presenter Package from AP09. I'm hoping to help her with an issue. All she gets when she produces the package is a zip file with just the notes.txt file in it. Anyone else see this issue and know what the solution is? Thanks!

Re: "Send to Articulate Package" Problem?
Hey Gerry,
Are the project files located on a network drive or anything like that? Could you have the developer try the following method? 1. Open the PowerPoint file 2. Choose File > Save As 3. Create a new folder 4. Save the presentation in this new folder 5. This should put the presentation and a copy of the PPTA file in that folder 6. Close PowerPoint and then open the copy that was just saved 7. Publish the project file to the web (this will update the PPTA file) 8. Try the Sent to Articulate Presenter Package again ====== Please let me know if the above cures the issue.

Re: "Send to Articulate Package" Problem?
Hey Beeneeb
U sound like a knowledgeable guy! Need a quick fix to my saving issues. I `ve done many presentation and found that each one has all the various "Interactions" as seperate files and unless one of these is not in the same location as the source file (the actual presentation) it either won`t load or I can`t edit one of the slides. I have a about 8 presentations I`ve done now but obviously each slide is being saved individually....that`s a lot of slides..think I`m up to "Startup 33" now..how do I know which ones belong to which presentation?! so is there an easy way of saving/filing the presentation either as one file or in one location?? hope it makes sense..

Re: "Send to Articulate Package" Problem?
Hey, Brian!
The user "discovered" the solution. As you suspected, it was something that she was doing with a network drive. While she working locally to produce the course, she was publishing the package directly to a network drive. We had our internal Articulate User group meeting this past Wednesday, and I was stressing how to always work locally and only use network drives for archiving projects. That cued her to republish the package locally--and lo and behold, everything was there. THANKS, again!
