Engage 360: Publishing an Interaction to Microsoft Word
Publish your Engage 360 project to Microsoft Word when you need a printable version of your interaction. It’s a convenient way to distribute handouts, provide a transcript for accessibility purposes, or share content with a reviewer.
Step 1: Enter Title, Description, and Folder Location
- Click Publish on the Engage ribbon.
- When the Publish window appears, select the Word tab on the left.
- Enter the Title the way you want it to appear in your Word document. It defaults to the name of your project file. (Changing the title won't affect the name of your project file.) The maximum length for a project title is 80 characters.
- Click the ellipsis button (...) beside the title field to define additional project information, such as the author, duration, and version number. This information won't be visible when you publish for Word.
- Use the Description field to give learners a synopsis of your interaction.
- Use the Folder field to indicate where you want to publish your interaction—for example, your computer desktop. Click the ellipsis button (...) to browse to a location. Engage 360 will create a new folder in that spot with the published Word document.
Important: Always publish to your local hard drive. Publishing to a network drive or a USB drive can cause problems with your published output due to latency.
Step 2: Choose Your Theme Colors
Use the Properties section of the Publish window to choose your theme colors. Just click the theme name and select a different theme.
Step 3: Publish
When you're finished making selections, click the Publish button. When the publishing process is complete, you’ll see the Publish Successful window with several follow-up options.
