Articulate Presenter '09

If your presentation includes Engage interactions and / or Quizmaker quizzes, you may find that the interaction (.INTR) files and quiz (.QUIZ) files are not included in the zip file when creating an Articulate Presenter Package in the following scenario:

1. You successfully create an Articulate Presenter Package on one computer that includes the .INTR and .QUIZ files.
2. You transfer the resulting zip file to another computer.
3. You extract the zip file, and launch the PowerPoint presentation.
4. You then create another Articulate Presenter Package of this same presentation on the new computer.

When the "second generation" Articulate Presenter Package is created, you may find that the .INTR and .QUIZ files do not get included in the zip file.  This is a known issue.  You can correct it.  Here's how:

1. When you are ready to create a second Articulate Presenter Package, open the presentation in PowerPoint.
2. Navigate to each interaction and quiz slide.
3. Click the Edit in Engage or Edit in Quizmaker button.
4. When Engage / Quizmaker launches, click the Save and Return to Presenter button.
5. Then generate a new Articulate Presenter Package.

Note:  For a quick, automatic way to re-establish broken Engage and Quizmaker links in Presenter '09 presentations, see Project Beacon for Articulate Presenter '09.  This method pertains to PowerPoint 2007 and PowerPoint 2010.  Please note that Project Beacon has not been tested by Articulate and is not officially supported.
